They have had time to analyze the images and pumping of my heart earlier today and measure blood pump performance.

Its lower than it should be by about 20 percent.

More pills to take...

Also, my lifespan with this heart failure is between 4-9 years. Likely closer to the lower number. The 9 is rare. Men with my condition normally make it 5 years on average.

Women with it last ten years.

So I have medicine changes coming and now need to ponder what I want to do with the remaining time I have left..
First things are to get the estate items and transfers of accounts taken care of so my wife is basically the owner of them all. This way there is no financial transferring of anything when I leave this world.

Unlike Nemo, I am not in excruciating pain for which I am grateful. I am tired a lot but keep going. I do not know how long I can keep up with my usual driving schedule to see clients. Those will be coming to a close sometime soon. I would like to enjoy some things before I die iffen I can get miz micro to go with me. Savannah's Gardens is one of them.

I am somewhat a little surprised at the results of that test today but Doc was not. The ejection fraction is low by about 20 percent. That means the amount of blood being pumped is a good deal less than what is considered normal.. The heart muscle itself actually has turned color to this gray shade instead of Red. Itw as partly like that when I had the surgery but it is even more now.

I hope I make it five more years. But if not, I will enjoy being with The Lord Jesus who loves me, and gave Himself for me making atonement for my sin and providing eternal life by His grace through faith in Him. HE paid the price of my sin debt Himself..

That is what EASTER is all about. Atonement for our sins and salvation for our souls! Eternal life with HIM in a brand new body.

I wish you all a Blessed Easter this Sunday.

My best to you,

micro...
