Monitoring…

Just ponderin’ puns at the roller derby…

missfreetime333 asked: Hi, I'm really happy I found your blog. I was born with hypoplastic right heart syndrome and I currently have a fontan. Unfortunately it's not really helping out for me so I've been put on the heart transplant list. I hope everything goes well with your open heart surgery. What is it for?

Hi there! I’m glad you found me too! I looked up your Fontan procedure and learned that it’s something they do for pulmonary atresia sometimes too! We could’ve been Fontan buddies! :D I’m sorry to hear it’s not working like they’d hoped though. I wish you all the best in getting your new heart.
My open heart in a few weeks is to place a pulmonary valve. When I had my atresia, they just sort of cut the whole bugger out of there. So now I get a real, functional pulmonary valve for the first time in my life!
Thank you for sharing your story. Best of luck with your new heart. :)

I saved a spot for you right here between my right ventricle and my pulmonary artery.

Oops.

I’m sorry I abandoned you for so long! Now that I’ve survived finals and have a moment to breathe on summer vacation, I’ll make you a new comic right now!

777 hours to my open-heart surgery! O.O

As always, thank you all for following!
