On a side note, my appointment yesterday went very well. I just love my doctor. She did cringe a little when I proudly told her about the 5k I did last month. But all of my tests look great and she's happy with everything.
She went over my echo and the heart looks normal (ventricle size, ejection fraction, etc...). I've always loved a good report card, especially when it comes to this.
We were talking about some current clinical trials and I asked about their success. We also discussed how much she likes IV meds. She pointed out that if a patient needs them, she is a huge proponent as they work so well. She went on to say that IF, not when, but IF I ever progressed to that point, that she feels I'd do very well on them.
5 years ago, the information and treatments available were so different. I was told by the experts that the PH would progress...it was just a matter of time. Now the experts talk about "if" it progresses. Music to my ears.
I'm so thankful for my medical care, the treatments available, and my response to them. The fact that my life revolves around my family, the adoption, and dealing with bird-eating dogs is a testament to how well I'm doing. What a blessing!
