dear friends, through the kind efforts of lisa and all those with the HCMA i was seen at New England Medical Center Tufts. Dr. Marty Maron, and staff were the kindest and most helpful doctors i have met in all of my life ( and i have met MANY doctors.) Dr. Carey Kimmelstein performed alcohol ablation. After nearly a year of not being able to walk further than 50 feet and many OTHER symptoms....the day AFTER surgery, i was roaming the halls of the hospital...the nurses practially chasing after me to put me on a heart monitor!!!! This is no exaggeration. I am experiencing a NEW LIFE!!! I didn't even KNOW that i could feel this much better!! And this is only 1 week after surgery. So many great things to share...but i just wanted everyone to feel uplifted my the remarkable blessings of this website...and of those people who devote their lives to helping others. How can one possibly say THANK you...for such a momentous gift? May everyone be so blessed with the continued support and success of HCMA...and may it inspire those with other medical problems to also have such support and genuine care. My greatest thanks to all....Safely Home in San Francisco...i send my love and gratitude....

Re: miracle at Tufts
Isabella,
aren't they the BEST at NEMC?! I literally just got home 15 min. ago. I was hospitalized since Tuesday. I had to be monitored as they started me on Sotolol (an anti-arrythmic). I responded well to it....keeping my fingers crossed that it helps my afib episodes. The doctors and nurses are just wonderful there. It was almost sad in a weird way, to leave. Sounds like you are feeling great....best of luck to you\"It is not length of life, but depth of life.\"
