Of my heart transplant

Sun Apr 19, 2009, 7:09 PM
My past year, hinged on 1 condition... if the deformities in my heart were not from pressure, transplant was all that could be done.
So, you can see where my art was on the back side burner, not to mention puter was down.

Being told there is nothing they could do and I should consider going on a transplant list outta the blue from a conversation as "... well, there are 2 valves and 2 chambers with serious deformities, there is nothing we really can do about it if it is not from your blood pressure. I suggest we talk about going on a transplant list in one year. It takes a year to regulate your pressure with this medication, if by then it has not changed, transplant is the only way to go." YIKES! I told my dr. if it is not from pressure I would not want the transplant because of the huge circumstances after the transplant. Clean rooms, no surfing, no mountain trips, no life for 6 months, complications from past heart problems may cause...... blah,blah,blah...

UPDATE!: Pressure WAS the problem! Now it is WAY down... Dr. said, "Nope, no need for the transplant anymore to be a consideration... You are good to go!" YES!!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to be a surf crazed, land locked, "aggro" almond farmer, who has been working in graphic design from the late 80's.. college and apprentice trained in print production, and yes even did the old type-set and smelly developer gluer and line camera work...OLD SCHOOL all the way.

Surfed with Peter Mel one day at one of my fav spots... Met Barney another Santa Cruz local.
Was asked by Richard Schmidt at Pleasure Point while on a BODYBOARD no less, "Aren't you a bit intimidated by the line-up?" While I replied, "Ignorance of it is my bliss." As it was my first time in the area... though I was a kook then, wow, unsmooth moment.. I was still up on the surf etiquette and was not arrogant enough to not get out of that line-up..
