I went back to work on Monday after a 2 month sick leave! It was high time and it feels great to be back. The first day was just hectic in so many ways.
When I started my career there in Aug 2008 only the HR personnel, my close friends and Manager knew that I had OHS. I managed to hide the scar with our Corporate uniform that shows no cleavage.
So on Monday, after my 2 month absence, I had to tell everyone the whole story and they all wanted to see the incision, or at least a part of it - male and female In a building with 40 people, I am the only one who have had OHS and they are shocked that I am so young... some people are not even aware of the fact that they HAVE 4 heart valves and I feel very chuffed with myself when I can impress them with my knowledge and terminology
By talking to them I was able to help one of them by referring one of the guys to my EP Specialist. He has been suffering with PSVT for a few years now and no one told him that Ablation could get him off the BB's and that there is a very good EP in our City!
So, it has been 8 weeks since my surgery and I feel great. No more aches and pains and the old kelloid scar has been replaced by a new, flatter one. Less noticeable. I'll post new pics in "toots", soon.
2010 is going to be a great year indeed
To everyone that still has to go for their surgeries: the mountain IS big and HARD to clime for a while, but life on the other side of the mountain is great and worth the risks... and you are not alone in your journey.
