Today I went to the dentist as the hygienist thought I had a cracked tooth. When the dentist examined me, she couldn’t find anything wrong. This pleased me immensely as I was waiting for her to say “you need a crown” or a “root canal”. One less bit of torture. Yay…good day.
I also enquired about the dental review and made an appointment for that.
Later on I received a call from The Royal Brompton. It was one of the surgeons from when I had my procedure 2 years ago.
Two years ago, I had two procedures at the same time. I had a transesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) and a Catheter procedure in which they put a catheter in via my groin all the way up to my heart. The TOE procedure involves placing a tube with a camera down my throat, into my stomach. They did warn me that this could cause damage, and to be honest, my throat did feel damaged afterwards. When I fall asleep, it makes like a really croaky snoring noise. I’m sure I wasn’t like that before.
The point of these two procedures was to discover more insight into where the hole was situated exactly in my heart. As the hole is in an awkward place, they thought the Toe and Catheter procedure combined would be able to provide some detailed data about the hole.
Anyway, not to go off on a tangent, the surgeon who was involved in that procedure phoned me today, informing me about a Scientific Publication they are making about me due to the “location of the hole and the anatomy which is uncommon”. She was phoning to request my permission. I agreed.
Wow, i actually famous and quite unique!
