I'm going to be ok!

Fire Ball · 23 Nov 2003, 20:04

I went through a whole week of tests for my heart and lungs and they found out I have a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. Basically, it is a condition where an individual is born with an extra electrical pathway in the heart. Many, many people are born with this condition and can live their whole lives without ever knowing it is there. Mine appeared to have remained quiet until now.

The cardiologist performed an angiogram on Friday and they were successful in removing the extra pathway (a procedure called "ablation"). The prognosis is excellent as the procedure's success rate is over 95%.

I was in surgery for around 2 hours, out of the hospital and back at the hotel. Try for the next show to be the 30th, thur I will get the ok from the
cardiologist to play.
