    One Year Anniversary

    To Everyone:

    I just had my 1 year anniversary of my Myectomy and modified Maze procedure at CCF on 11/14/03. Overall the symptons (SOB,etc) I had pre-surgery are gone except for occassional A-Fib episodes which we is being treated via a change in Meds. Yesterday I was on hike with the my sons cub scout pack that made me thank God for having the opportunity/ability to do without being out of breath. I still do my cardiovascular excercise at least 3-4 days a weeks which I use to enjoy pre-HOCM symptons. I know I have not contributed any input to new members based on my experience but I can't thank all of you for your support during my trying times. I will keep in touch. Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving to all.

    Howie Mirchin

    PS: Lisa don't forget to send me the inof on next years golf outing.
