@mbharris dont hesitate to reach out to me if uou need to visit!
Im 57 been dealing with hcm issues for a number of years till they finally diagnosed me last dec!
Im very active mountain bike hubting walking hiking, used to run but side effects from HCM stopped me from running and finally started slowing me way down on my bike before i finally found out what was wrong! Camzyos helped to an extent but would not allow me to ride hard!
Had surgery in june
Stayed across street from hospital we was told to plan for 14 days ended up staying 11
Been off work for 5 months the pain in my chest just never got better had a CT done two days ago and my sternum never fused!
So waiting to see what mayo would like to do!
Please dont let that scare you from having the surgery because i could tell a difference as soon as i started climbing stairs!
Im just one of the very few un lucky ones the sternum did not fuse!
