About Me
May 8, 2007 enter hospital short of breath and have an angiogram that shows numerous blockages

May 11 open heart surgery lasting 7 hours and comprising of five bypasses and one valve ring support

May 11 -25 Life support as the Dr's cant awake me and they tell my family that they don't know if i'll ever come out of it

May 26 fourteen days after surgery I wake up

Still unaware of my situation i am weaned from all of my IV's

I am moved to a recovery floor where a groin infection plagues me

I am then moved to a rehab floor where upon complaining about a sore lower back a surgeon removes a cyst

June 13 my original surgeon looks at my incision and he sticks a finger in it up to his knuckle and then informs me that he is going to have to tiighten a wire holding part of my breast bone in place and so..............

June 16 i am back in surgery to tighten the wires holding my sternum and ribs in tact

I was home in July but dropped in our drive in August

Gee since then i was back in hospital with a massive infection and that resulted in them removing my sternum/breastbone in August again i was out of it (coma) for 14 days and the family was all gathered but i pulled through and was finally out of hospital mid october

I am still off work (don't know if I even have a job) but it is GREAT to be alive


I have a Medtronics ICD implanted in July 2008 and a patient in the RAFT study by the Ottawa Heart Institute but implanted at London Health Sciences and Monotored by St Marys here in Kitchener

I was "paced" on August 17,2008 but was not aware until Sept when I attended at the Implant Clinic for my second monitor reading then on Nov 23 it once again tried to pace me but failed so the defibultor kicked in and brought me back... It was 10:30 am and I was sitting injecting insulin and wondered why it was taking me longer than usual and only found out in Jan when I was on for the RAFT study monitoring

Then Feb 18,2010@2:30pm I was once again revived unbeknown to me until I was at the Heart Function clinic @ St Marys and as my Cardiologist was telling me I could not drive he said that on the bright side we knew it worked and I should stop testing it ..... sure he has never been a passenger with my wife driving ........ just kidding honey you are a much better driver now that I keep my eyes shut

Hi Joan: Let us know what happens in March.

This summer I was diagnosed with an Enlarged Heart.  I have to go see the Cardiologist in March. They think it might be due to the fact that I have a Mitral Valve Prolapse. so we will see what happens in March... Anyone else have an Enlarged Heart?

Nitric Oxide (NO) is an emerging superpower in the fight for cardiovascular protection. Little understood until recently, NO is now recognized as a vital part of the vascular system and a key to long-term heart health.www.healthycardio.mysynergy.net You can get more information on the Synergy website

My name is Dorothy Turner and I have suffered from heart disease, congestive heart failure, since l996. It took a long time to diagnose my problem. At the time I was 46 yrs. old, working full time and still had children at home. My internist told me it was the last thing he suspected. Fortunately for me I have responded well to the drugs but had to give up my job and change my lifestyle. I am looking forward to more comments and reading about other people's stories. Most of the time I feel good and try to keep a positive attitude but sometimes I still sit here and wonder what the heck happened to my life.

I became a distributor with Synergy Worldwide the beginning of May after a friend was on a flight to a conference in Utah & met some reps for SW, she text me immediately and said she had found something to help my husband Gordon. She brought Proargi-9 Plus back with her & has been taking it since. Dr Prendergast developed Proargi-9 Plus after the discovery by Dr Louis J Ignarro of the need to keep our Nitric Oxide at a certain level in our bodies to prevent illness Check my websitewww.healthycardio.mysynergy.net and watch the video's There is not enough space here to tell the whole story. I will add a little more every day. You must read the book "No More Heart Disease" written by Dr Lousi J Ignarro
