|  New and Need INFO
Hi, I am TOTALLY new and TOTALLY uninformed. I don't have any clue about what types of surgeries there are available, nor do I know what type I would need or qualify for. I am just sick and tired of being SICK and TIRED. I have had High Blood Pressure for over 11 years, that I have been medicated, who knows when it started???? I can't get through an entire church service without become overtired from sitting down, standing up, sitting down, standing again.... I can't climb a short flight of stairs in my in-laws house carrying my baby or just my own weight without feeling like my heart is going to burst. I have had my heart checked out once. I don't know that I have any blockages or anything, but my daddy and my mama both had to have heart surgeries. I don't want to go that path. I just had a baby in Sept. '06. He's so wonderful! I want to be able to play with him. But, more than that, I just want to see him grow old!! I am here to read, listen, and learn more about what I need to do. Thanks in advance, Michelle
