Not much heart results

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I saw my doctor yesterday about my heart testing and from the halter monitor

they said I have a lot of irregular heart rythms so have put me on Atenalol

daily but still don't know other than that why the swelling so much. He said

the echocardiogram didn't show anything of much significance so he is referring

me back to the cardiologist I saw about 6 years ago for another Nuclear Stress

test. So, it was a bit of a let down and since he was running an hour behind

schedule yesterday I forgot to ask him how my labs looked. If my sed rate or

anything was increased. I have my rheumatologist appointment next Monday though

so will check those questions then. The Atenalol does help the chest pain some

and I spent the day resting.

On an off topic note, we get to travel tomorrow to Phoenix area to see my

daughter and the girls for the first time in almost a year and a half and I am

so excited about that!

I have to tell you a funny story. was gone from home today and I needed

the rest but didn't go as well because I have been on 80mg of Lasix a day, or

should I say supposed to be. We live on a mountain that takes a minumum 35

minutes to get down without bathrooms and so usually I have to wag it out at the

gravel pits half way down or pee my pants. That's just the way it is. A girls

gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Well, I told him today that because my feet are swelling again so badly because

I have skipped a couple of doses because of trips off the hill he should look

for a urinal for women that my girlfriend said they sell.

So...... I'm talking to Cat on the phone tonight and comes home. I look

up and across the room is standing there holding this white plastic womens

urinal cup in front of himself. I just died with laughter. The box is on the

table with two women talking and surely it says Women Urinal. He says " I don't

know how your supposed to use it. " " But I got you one for emergencies. " LOL.

I told Cat between gales of laughter, " Now, I've had everything!! "

So with that information being more than you all needed to know, I'll say good

night and be well and I'll be home and then gone again until next week.

Bunches and bunches of love to you all. You are very special to me.
