Some of you may have read that i recently had problems with my heart I was diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome which can lead to Sads(Sudden Adult Death Syndrome).It is a birth defect and is an extra pathway within the heart which can set off heart palpitations some people with WPW are at risk of going into Cardiac arrest and dying:thumbsdown: .Well im happy to say that i recieved a letter today for an appointment to see the cardiologist:smiliedance: .Not long after i recieved a phone call for an appointment for an Echo so in two weeks i get the Echo then go to the Cardi in 4 weeks for the results and probably talk about getting the opperation providing all goes well and they can find where the problem is.The only thing is it is quite hard to find the extra pathway and not all operations are successful,So please wish me luck and keep me in your prayers :fingerscrossed: all goes well and i can have this op and live a happy and healthy life with my Fiance and 2 kids.
