My health

So, as most of my close friends know, I have not had the best luck with my health... in 2003, I had a blood clot in my lung, turns out I have a blood disorder... Then they found that my heart was bad, bad enough that on New Years Eve 2003, I had to have open heart surgery at the age of 21!! Then in 2004, got prego which was a whole new set of issues... all the meds and tests because of my blood disorder, blah, blah, blah, then in 2005 I had our son... health was good, then last year I started to get really, really bad headaches again, so back in I went. My valve that was repaired in 2003, was leaking again, and my blood pressure was high, so my Dr put me on a high blood pressure medication and my normal baby aspirin. He told me that if it does not get better I will once again have to have open heart surgery. so I just went in today for my 3rd check up this year... and to my amazement... and his, my heart is doing great, so great that I don't have to have surgery anywhere in my near future!!
