HEART UPDATE & My Positive Husband

I went back to the doctor yesterday. This is the first appointment that I had to go alone. They messed up my appointment and yesterday was the only one unless I wanted to wait a few more weeks. Since Nathan was going to out of town, my sweet husband decided to "prepare me for the worst". He said that since he wasn't going to be there to support me, he wanted to make sure I would be ready. Seriously??? All it did was freak me out! haha Nathan is so positive. He always believes that everything is going to be ok no matter what. (And in his case, they always are.) I've often joked that I'm just going to ride under his wings of grace the whole time we are married because great things just seem to happen for Nathan without too much effort. (Debra, I know that you will agree with me!) And I'm so thankful. But with this overly-positive attitude, it sometimes gets on my nerves to be honest. My arm could be hanging by a tread and if I told him that I was worried I could loose it he might reply, "Oh, it's going to be fine. The doctors will fix it and you will be throwing a ball tomorrow. And think of all the cool people you might meet in the emergency room. It might even be a fun story to tell one day." Sometimes I just want him to be worried with me. lol I know that sounds silly. But the Bible says to be anxious for nothing and worrying is a sin. Apparently...that isn't a lesson I have learned yet. So one of the reasons I was so freaked is because if he thought something was wrong, I was going to die. haha That's when he informed me he is preparing me. I just laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? If I go in there tomorrow and they tell me I am going to die, do you really think I am going to be any less upset because you mentioned it now?" Ok, ok...on to the results.

I have.... Situs Inversus with Dextrocardia. Which means, my heart is on the right and all of my internal organs are switched. Dr. Miles said it is a basically a mirror image of what others look like. Completely flipped. Some people's hearts lean a little more to the right, but mine is very clearly on the right. I got to see pictures and it was pretty cool! And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with my heart! Praise Jesus! However, they could not find any reason for all of the chest pains. They gave me a few guesses, but because they are only cardiologist and it isn't a heart problem, they have no idea. They also confirmed again that I do not have MVP- Mitral Valve Prolapse which I was told that I had when this all first started. So basically I paid a lot of money for nothing. I mean, it's great to know that my heart is just fine, actually more so than many my age, and in case I were in an accident or something they need to know where my organs are. But I want to know what the pain is about! I have been living with this since the Spring of 05 and I'm tired of it. Now I am being sent to my general doctor to start over. But hey, they are a lot cheaper than specialist! haha
