More trouble with travel than before

Even though my last post said I was starting to work out again, the last two weeks have not been good.  I have had an large increase in my old fatigue issues, and a new issue, nausea.

Because I have struggled so much in last two business trips I have been wondering how long I can continue to travel like this or even work.  I guess I should still feel lucky, as I am now 4 years into my heart failure diagnosis.

Now a new research study has just been published stating that an ICD shock event foretells a much closer death possibility.  Apparently the article was publiched in the Sept. 4, 2008 version of the New England Journal of Medicine.   A news link is here: http://www.dotmed.com/news/story/6901/

I understand all the caveats that every case is different, but i must admit the way this year has gone for my case it is not a happy piece of news.  

Sorry that this post is not very uplifting.
