Because I was born with a very unusual heart, there have been many times when I’ve read that I have “indicators of poor outcomes.” These indicators have included
- a severely leaky valve,
- switched ventricles,
- atrial fibrillation,
- heart failure, and
- one that I read about yesterday online, which I’m blocking at the moment.
Are there any indicators of poor outcomes for this post, yet?
Just before I started writing today’s blog, a dear friend who has the same unusual heart condition as me wrote that she had recently read online about “a big indicator of poor outcomes.” That indicated to me that I should write this to her:
I’ve had lots of indicators of poor outcomes. That indicates, to me, that there are lots of poor prognosticators out there.
Last night, in a therapy group, people talked about indicators of poor outcomes, including the recent U.S. election. They also talked about indicators of better outcomes, including humanity, mutual respect, activism, connection, charity, and kindness towards others.

No comments from my readers would be an indicator of poor outcomes for me and this blog.
My gratitude for all who helped me create this post and for you — of course! — is an indicator of good outcomes, here and now.
