Of all the fucking things to get, I MUST have not one but TWO defective heart valves, an Aortal Valve Regurgitation AND a Mitral Valve Regurgitation. Really WTF right? I mean, already one is serious. You have heart disease. But two? OK, OK, I should not complain because my best bud, he’s had a 5 heart by-pass already and we’re of the same age. And his heart is at much greater risk than mine. Sigh. What did we do to inherit such problematic hearts? Smoking in our youth? Too much life time stress? Who knows. As for me, the Doctor says it’s just one of those things. You never know why. It’s just degenerative. Oh well.
I remember the time I told my Doctor friend that I had a leaky valve. She asked, “Which one???” And when I told her it was the Aorta, her face dropped. She obviously knew it’s severity more than me. But then she panicked me!!! Not good!!!
I learned to live with it and overcome my fears with positivity. I didn’t tell many people because what is the point. Me broadcasting it here is not the same because I don’t know most of you, hahahaha, my virtual buddies. And last week when I was told that I had another leaking valve, I went numb. Surely this just increased my risk and exacerbated my condition? I asked the Doctor some questions and did some research and this is what I found.
Mitral Valve Operation – According to this article, it says that you should operate the mitral valve earlier rather than later. Reason being you should solve the problem now rather than wait for it to get worse. But that goes against what my Doctor told me. I guess I come under the category of ‘watchful waiting’ which is why I am routinely checked on a regular basis. It is when the leak is of a certain size, then the Doctor will say OK, now!!!
Aortal and Mitral Valve Regurgitation – Having both becomes slightly complicated as you can see in this video. It’s a double leak thus even less oxygenated blood enters my large body. My blood pressure is high and my heart is working over time. Add a little bit of stress and kaboomz!!! Sigh.
Haiyo. Why? Why? Why?
OK, I will focus on bigger and better things now. Fuck the heart.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


I like your last sentence “I will focus on bigger and better things now”. It shows you are doing your best to be positive.
