just wanted to let you know that that I have had a lot of problems since Thanksgivings. Been through several rounds of coughing and congestion. Steroids and antibiotics did not help. In January, I began to have trouble breathing. I just stayed out of breath all the time and the coughing had not improved.
Last Friday week (1/29/16), Mollie took me to the ER and they admitted me. The doctors said I was retaining fluids. They gave me 80mg of lasic by IV every 4 hours with no IV running. I gained 2 lbs. Finally on Monday they ran an echo. The cardiologists said that visually the EJ looks to be 50%. They did a CT and said that I had a hole the size of an apple in my lunged and then discharged me Monday night.
I went to B;ham this past Monday and saw a cardiologists that never listened to my heart or lungs, never checked the pulse in my neck or legs. She just ordered a stress test. Today I got the results of that test and it was positive for blockages. I will undergo an ateriogram on Friday, 19-Feb. It takes that long to get insurance approval and for me to come off of my blood thinners. This time I will be seeing my cardiologist whom is a great physician and have been treating me for 20 years.
I just have not had the desire to get on here and read or interact with this great group
