Thank you for your remarks. Yes..."little story" was probably the wrong choice of words...for as you probably noted, I used A LOT of words 🙂 To answer you: Yes. I can do everything I did before HOCM. I am still working with Dr. Ammen to regulate the calcium channel blocker I take. I'd like to get rid of it entirely, but I still get HCM symptoms at times. Tachycardia for instance. It's been a year and a half since surgery...I feel much better now. I was sure I would live long to be honest or survive surgery. But here I am! Thanks to God and good care.
