Oh Well &Other news

Today I received a call and was told I have an appointment with a cardiologist on Dec. 17. Ihope it will be helpful.

It has been a day of news.An older gentleman died today at the home of his daughter. He didn't want to die in nursing home,so the family took him out. He was a good saved man in his 90s. He was out visiting homes for the church about 3 or 4 years ago. I feel that God gave him an early Christmas gift and took him home. He isn't suffering anymore.

My friend has had medical problems and was having infections and non healing after surgery. She had to have another surgery on thursday to remove infected mesh. She came home today and was feeling pretty good. When she called me I was so surprised but very happy for her. God is so good.

My sister and her husband are celebrating being married for 57 years today. Her husband e mailed me that he had told my sister that this marriage was forever on the day they did it.
So I guess I should stop my pity party and be happy for all the good news of the day.
God Bless and have a great week end. It is -2 degrees right now. LOL

Results or Another Chapter at Doctors

Well I went to the doctor today. The stress test did not show anything because I am not able to exercise enough. The 24 hour monitor didn't show much either. My heart rate only went down once to 45,but I didn't have a bad day. My potassium was fine;I'm not anemic, and my blood sugar was fine. We are now going to cut my meds for a month to see what happens.
I will be checking my B/P and if I have more spells I have to call the doctor. He also wants me to see heart doctor. I am hoping the cut in meds will be a magic cure! He continues to worry about me. I tell him not to. He says what I am doing isn't natural and I counter with " I'm not natural." I don't like traveling in snow and cold. I tend to be a "hermit" in winter.
So instead of not having to go to see him for six months I have the first possible day for appointment in 2008. I have an appointment for 1/2/08. I think the fact that I live alone is the problem for him. I have some medical knowledge because of the work I did so I am not too concern. Of course falling in the tub and almost fainting in laundramat are not good way to spend a day. Have a great day and God Bless!

Test Results.

Well, the doctor's office called and said that the test was okey. So I still don.t know why I am dizzy. I told the nurse who called about my two bad spells.

Fortunate or God's Protection.

You always hear of falls in home being dangerous. Well today I fell again but what is remarkable I didn't get badly hurt or worse. I got out of the bathtub, reach for my towel and my legs were wobbly. They felt like there were no bones in my legs. I fell backwards head first into the bath tub. The big towel cushioned my fall. After I got sitting up, I tried to get out again and didn't make it. Fell back down twice and once my back hit the faucet hard. I finally got sitting up on the side of the tub and stayed there for a minute. I was able to get up...dry off. When I first fell back into the tub, I looked up and said thanks.
NOW? Was I fortunate? Or did I just experience God's protection? At my age it could have ended very badly for me.

FINISHED

Well the tests are done and now I wait for the results. I have to wait until the end of the month. Strange thing and something to think about: I was injected with radio active solution two days. Having an xray for 15 minutes would be dangerous and doing it 2 days in a row. There is no radiation from the machine. It is all from me. I would like to see those pictures. Glad they are over with but knowing I had prayers and good wishes from people helped.

Halfway

The stress test is over. I didn't last long;but it is over and I survied. Your prayers helped. There was no snow between here and the hospital. The wind didn't blow me off the road. The staff were nice. Now tomorrow I go for the resting images.
