Heart Trauma Recovery

[olbriar]

I was expecting a pissing contest between my cardi and and kidney guy. It might come yet I saw my cardiologist this afternoon. He understood being off of the four drugs the kidney guy said to quit taking but said it will only be temporary and he will have me back on the meds. I told him I felt way too good without them to consider taking them again. "We've got to consider the long term with your heart." was his response. I'm closer to 72 than 71 years old. What the hell long term is he talking? It took me 71 years to have a heart attack. I don't think long term at my age is possible no matter what the drug... sheesh.

I saw my kidney specialist today. It was all good news and back slapping today. Dr olbriar was right and being so sick and dehydrated screwed up all of my med numbers. Everything is back in the norm and he thinks I'm doing great. He can't believe how active I am. He wants to see me again in six months. Maybe the week of extreme diarrhea and dehydration was a blessing. I'm completely off three meds and another has been changed from a 25 mg daily to 10 mg. I would gladly be off all meds if possible.
I feel great but I'm also glad to learn that my blood work confirms I'm doing well.
