Just had small treat of an ice cream from Aldi (mini Kapiti passionfruit and honey) had to slide it off the stick into a bowl and eat with a spoon, since I can't bite. Was delicious. I dont normally eat sweet things. Also given blood test results at #cardiologist today, once these are gone, I probably won't again, but it was a lovely little treat.

Resting heart rate continues to plummet. (It's a good thing.) Highest it's been is 82, 11/16/23. It's down to 74 this morning. Historically it has peaks & valleys- usually high is 79, maybe 80. I can get a low of 69, but usually it's low 70s. Why does it rise? What makes it fall? It is my body just fighting for homeostasis? 82 is concerning. I'm doing everything to be healthy. My HR shouldn't be so high. I wish I could talk to my #cardiologist.

42 minutes of level 1 #pilates on YT this morning. Great practice. Feeling strong when I step on the mat. Every time I have a workout, regardless of the #exercise, I feel more & more hopeful that I can actually put my #POTS into remission this time. I'm anxious that I have to do a stress test next week with the new #cardiologist. And if I'm being honest, I know I have to start #StrengthTraining & that's when I historically fall off the wagon.
The decellularized GHOST HEART is created by stripping living cells from a pig’s heart. Researchers at the Texas Heart Institute hope that one day it could serve as a scaffold upon which to grow a working heart from human stem cells.

My innards after a ascending aortic dissection which also killed off my left kidney. A 12 hour surgery, 12 hour coma and 14 units of blood. Now waiting on my 3rd open heart surgery to replace my aortic root, valve and arch. #cardiac #surgery #aorta #CTScan #kidney #heart #cardiology #cardiologist #openheartsurgery
