cardiac docs visit
Jun 28, 2011
went to the cardiac Doc's yesterday morning ,,it turned out to be a very interesting visiti,,, she told me that what i had before when i visitied her was not atrial fibulation,,it was just a slightly iregular haertbeat,, she wasn't sure about keeping me on the blood thinners but then she perscribed pradaxa (the new drug of choice for this stuff),,she also has me on a heart monitor that i ahev to wear for a month,,when ever i get a thumping i am to hit the button and it records whats going on,,she wants to be sure because atrial fibulation means clots and just a iregular heartbeat does not ,,one needs blood thinners one does not,,,so ok,,, now i am hooked up like frankenstine wires comming out of everywhere,,and wouldn't ya know haven't had an episode since(knock n wood),LOL,,after looking at the pradaxa i have decided not to take it and heres why ,the instrutional package on it says it will cause stomach lining burning and cramping,,,bleeding,,oh i don't think so ,, my stomach is behaving so well i am not goin to chance that,,i'll stick to the lovenox injections i'm doing,,but that is not the best part,, they wieghed me,,,folks i would never have believed it if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes,,,drumrolll pleaseeeeeee,,,,,,,251 lbs,,,what????i was just 275 on the 15th and 288 two weeks before the pre-op diet,,woooooeeee,,thats 37lbs lost in as much as a months time,,wooo hooooo
i'm getting my fluids in my vits and stuff,, protien i am stil working bringing in at least 50 somthing grams i know thru shakes,,on the brighter side I was able to eat some cottage cheese ,,and this morning for the first time since i can't tell you wehen i had soft boiled eggs and a piece of melba toast it was like heaven....
