I have not been ignoring you. I discovered, after seeing others reply to several of your messages, but not having them download locally, that somehow your posting address was added to my blocked sender list. Oops! :-(
So you haven't ignored me at all. You've simply blocked me. Ohhhhkaaaayyyyy. Because I am such a big-hearted person, I'm going to say it's all right, never mind.
Thursday I will get to see if I am big-hearted or not, as I am having an echocardiogram. I believe that will be able to tell me if I am big-hearted AND if my heart's in the right place.
Thanks. It's part of a bunch of tests to find out why I have developed legs that are almost as wide as they are long. Though these little pills I was given are shrinking them, as well as giving the household plumbing a good workout. I'm taking so many pills at the moment that I rattle when I walk, but they're all short-term. Until I get my ankles back. So far all I know for sure is that I don't have Chronic Heart Failure. I figure that's good.
Oh dear! Sounds pretty scary. I was having a lot of shortness of breath and had an echo-cardiogram a couple of years back and learned that I have a bad valve. So far it's not getting much worse, I'm hoping I can get by without surgery.
Wasn't scary because I didn't realize I was sick. Until I started to feel a little better....then we both (DH and I) noticed that I had been sub-par for a couple of weeks. LOL! Sleeping mostly, but short of breath (more so than usual) and the ankles were enormous, but that spread all the way to the knees and I figured it was time to bite the bullet and find out why. Water pills are shrinking the appendages, potassium pills are replacing the lost potassium (and reducing the lovely muscle cramps), antibiotics are relieving some of the swelling and returning the skin to a more normal color, and I've been chest x-rayed and a gallon of blood drawn and tested. ;-) Tomorrow we play sonar on the chest and Monday I go see the doc again. I've seen him more in the past week than I have in the past three years. I told him I wasn't worried about dying, but that I would prefer to be surprised when it happens.
