11/2 Update-11/2/2009

Hi Guys,

So I just spoke to the doctors for the morning and they are even more sure this is was caused by a virus, not anything else. There are a few things that could have happend- either the virus settled on my heart, or when my body was fighting the virus, the immune system itself damaged my heart.

They are still hopeful I can make a full recovery. I will have a heart ultrasound in 3 months or so to see if my heart has shrunk at all, and they may actually do one before I leave to see if they can see any change.

I haven't been feeling too perky today- I've had a headache, a little blindness in my left eye (they're sending up a nerologist or a opthmologist to look at me, but they think it's just occular migranes- not dangerous), and I'm just feeling more tired today. Not sure I pushed it too hard with the shower last night or what. So I think I won't do too much today, just chill out. But I still don't feel horrible at all, I certainly don't feel like I have heart failure.

You know, I've been really feeling like there are two stories here... the way I feel and what is actually happening. Until today, I've felt almost 100% (when I'm sitting or laying down). I'm happy, joking, in very good spirits. And then their is the story that I hear from the doctors that I have an incredibly serious condition and there are all these scary possibilities. Luckily, as they say, I'm 27 and my body is doing a terrific job of recovering, fighting, and maintaining everything else while I heal. But I can't help but feel like this is some weird dream.

Anyway, lunch is here, so I think I'll have a bite and take a nap...I'll check in later!
Love you all!
Jana
