I have a heart murmur

how did it turn out?

no change since the last one 5 years ago

heard my heartbeat - reminded me of when I heard my daughter's when I had an ultrasound

I love those things. It's pretty cool to see your own heart beating. Could do without the slimy gel stuff though

yeah, I had to wipe all that gunk off before I could get dressed

it went well. my blood pressure has been high lately, so my doctor sent me for the ehco to make the murmur hadn't gotten worse

I guess now I'll be starting blood pressure medicine

what kind of surgery are you having?

are you OK now?

I think with me it was only a matter of time - high BP runs in my family

yeah, my dad also gave me arthritis

which led to bone spurs in my shoulder which led to rotater cuff surgery

very sorry about your brother

very sorry about Heather's brother as well

all kinds of medical tests make him uncomfortable

Don't you just LOVE when they put on the doppler and you can see AND hear your heart pushing the blood out?

Both of my kids have their annual echos scheduled in a couple of weeks. I just had mine the last time I was in the hospital.

margalit why do they have them every year?
