Unhappy Oh Bugger.
Well, its official. Im holey.

Following a Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (which is absolutley *the* most horrendous thing i have ever experienced in my life), bubbles were seen to cross the septum of the heart. Not many bubbles admittedly but enough to confirm the presence of a hole.

My doc has sent the tape of the test over to Dr Wilmhurst and i will get a call from him as to where we go from here.

*sigh*



I would swear a lot, but it wouldnt get me very far really.

Helen,
bad news but at least you know now, and you can find a way to move on and get back in the water if you want to.

Thing is though - you are holey, but you always were! The only difference is you know it

Don't get down about it - think of how your freediving will improve and that is far more glam than scuba.

One step at a time, eh?
