Note
I've got a weekend (two, in fact) of racing to log but first, I went in to Cardiovascular Consultants this morning for my bubble test and it seems I do have a patent foramen ovale ( a small hole in the wall separating the two atrial chambers of the heart - normal before birth; seals up completely after birth in on the order of 75-80% of the population). I've got another appointment with Dr Larca scheduled for Wednesday to discuss this but, pending that, it still doesn't seem to be anything worth getting very excited about. It sounds as though he's likely to ask me to start taking a daily baby aspirin and give up any aspirations to take up deep sea diving, both of which I can probably live with.
