Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

WWW
« on: July 20, 2011, 06:15:16 AM »
Don't quite know how this happened!!  I was speaking with my neph a week or two ago, and told him I am concerned about my heart health, since my siblings who had kidney failure all died from heart failure.  They gave me a referral to a cardiac specialist here.  When I turned up for my appointment yesterday, three things were not right -
1. I had a fever   
2. the machine refused to record my BP (it was very low- I could feel it!) 
3. I had not had the EKG or chest x-ray done that he wanted.   
So the two doctors said "she has to be admitted".  So here I am.
Hopefully, this is a very short stay, since all three of those items have since been rectified.

Thank you, my lovely and loving IHD family members.   I did not see the cardiologist today.  He wants a further test - echogram.  That will be tomorrow.  Hopefully, I get to leave in the evening.  HOPEFULLY!!!!

best place to be , if some thing is still wrong,although the 3 things have been rectified.

about 15 months ago went to tx clinic, best they could do with BP was 40/20. "think you better stay with us for a few day"
