And the downhill slide continues

Hi all. It has been sometime since I have posted. I had a quick 6 month reprieve where there was 0 drinking in the house and it was amazing. My wife was back to the woman I knew, there was peace. However it didn't last and she is back to the same old, same old, although she doesn't get as angry. She had her annual check up with the doc last week and a heart murmur was discovered. She has had one in the past that showed up when she was pregnant, but that was over 20 years ago. Her dad passed away at 55 from a heart attack, so based on that and the fact the murmurs wasn't there last year, our family doctor has her going to the cardiologist. I have been doing some research and because of her heavy alcohol usage one of the possibilities could be a weak heart valve, or cardiomyopathy. I don't want to be an alarmist, or jump to conclusions, but it is a bit stressing. Anyone out there care to comment or give some advice?

Thanks,
Grizz
