Hey, guys. While I appreciate the notion that I'm always "right," that just isn't true. And medicine isn't about being right. It's about what is right for YOU and that is between you and your doctors!!!

I have had to navigate the medical world due to some pretty bad doctoring and that has only given me "some" information. I think the key to figuring any of this out is to think it through. And to trust your instincts. I'm grateful that I went into the "arts" because being a creative problem solver has probably saved my life a time or two.

Nicky, Just talk to your doctors and get some answers. Especially about the anemia, since that can stress out your heart. You really shouldn't do anything strenuous before you get that hemoglobin back up again.
