    Ive basically kept this under wraps in so far as this board is concerned, but Ive decided to tell about it because, frankly, Im under stress at the moment,am posting (when I post at all) a bit strangely and I wish to explain why im hardly posting, nor am I hardly responding to emails or chat requests from my friends here.

    I apologize for the latter.

    in a nutshell, my wife is sick, shes been sick a year now and the situation is getting worse. Theres something wrong with her heart and apparently Its a genetic defect. Anyway, she is in hospital and has been there the past week. Today they are going inside her with cameras to see what can be done. She had a heart enlargement a year ago when she got a virus, and the enlagements and heart swellings are recurring on a regular basis at the moment. Im pretty concerned about what the future will be and find myself swinging, emotionally, in very violent manner. I assume this is normal.

    Dont really know why Im posting this publicly, I guess it is just to explain why I am barely responding to people who are dear to me who email me.

    Good wishes to all decent people here.

    I'm sorry to hear this about your wife. It must be very difficult you and your children to cope with her illness and all your fears.

    Imbue. Thank you for your expression of concern, perhaps Youre not the hard hearted person some think you are after all eh?? However, in view of our ongoing, personal intense dislike of each other, I think i would prefer you didnt respond here. I hope you understand, and i hope you accede to my request.

    IW. I dont know, I only repeat what the doctors told me.

    RF,

    It's important that you get the details from them. They should tell you the name of the condition your wife has and also it's description. After the testing they should give you a prognosis and a detailed description of the treatment they recommend. Without that you and your wife are blind and will not be able to make informed judgements.

    Just my two.

    IW.

    She went to one heart specialist who basically wrote her off as irrepairable. So she went to another who has raised a couple of possible treatments. He is the one arranging the heart examination that will occur today. So I believe we are heading in the right direction, or something akin to it. As well, my wifes daughter is a nurse, she is involved in every step of the proceedings and i assume, is asking the right questions. She appears to be.
