Hi all,
I feel like this forum is where I'll get most sound advice right now : ) I introduced myself a couple of days ago. I have pretty bad mitral regurgitation and am in the waiting room right now with left ventricle seemingly normal size and function. Now, my dilemma is about work. I was taking some time off work, and I am about to return full time to a pretty demanding Engineering job at a startup company. Despite my cardiologist telling me that I should keep my mind occupied, I don't know that I have the mental capacity to work right now. I don't sleep at night and have anxiety attacks. Also, I want to spend time researching surgeons and hospitals. I feel that if I have less than a year before surgery, then my time is better spent preparing myself and my family for it. But I guess we don't know.
Are there members in the waiting room like me, and if so, do you try to lead a "normal" life until the time comes for surgery?
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance. I am not sure if this post should go to the small talk category, I'll just post it here for now.
