I have to go back in two weeks for more tests. I won't be able to eat for 24 hours. I am not sure what they are going to do. My legs became so tired. It was awful outside.They gave me a wheelchair when I came in and when I left.

Bobby

Make sure when you go back in 2 weeks, you have someone to help you get there and back. And that you have an wheelchair, so that if you need it you get one. Just so if its needed because your week. You get there okay.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

tomorrow I go to another doctor and will see how it goes, somebody is going with me. I will get somebody to go in two weeks. both places have wheelchairs

i took a walk in the hall. my legs are weak but they are working. yesterday the weather was so miserable and I had to sit on the examining table fora very long time. Next time the tests will take about three and half hours. I think they are going to xray my heart and do a stress test with medication and I forgot what else with my legs

I don't know why my legs collapsed

I'm sorry that you have to have more tests, Bobby :hug::hug::hug:
I hope that everything turns out okay :hug:

I'm glad that you are having someone go with you, as Donna suggested. You should have enough time to line someone up.
When they used to offer me a wheel chair when I walked into the hospital, I used to refuse because I was stubborn, but now I gladly accept the ride. Walking around the hospital is just too much for me. I'm happy that you will be accepting the help, too :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that you are having problems with your legs again. Are you eligible for in home PT again in April? I think it would help :hug:

I'm so happy that you are really getting into reading. It's something that I should do. I never seem to have the time, but I do... I just don't know where the time goes...

I have more time with physical therapy but i am tired and can't get myself to push myself. I lost ten pounds and up until yesterday my walking was easier and my balance was better. I don't get it.
when I read I am not depressed. I love historical regency romances-cotton candy.
I should at least start walking in the halls again. Maybe it is my heart.

I don't know bobby.
If I may make a suggestion.
There are some things that you could do to help keep track of your symptoms and self help things to document what you are goig thru.
What I mean to say is this.
You could get a blood pressure cuff and take your blood pressure. Get a piece of paper and write the date and then columns. label the columns blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and what ever else you want to put on paper.
maybe glasses of fluids? or if you had a BM?
anyway
You could take your blood pressure upon waking after you go to the bathroom and weigh yourself then also.
Doctors like to see you taking the initiative.
I hope you have a good day.

I know this is anxiety producing, and once you get in the habit of doing this it will get easier and less anxiety attached to it , (in theory).

I don't have the patience and my blood pressure is usually 120 for the upper one. I am so strong out. I don't even want another cleaning woman. too much pressure.
I sometimes take my blood pressure. I weight myself everyday. My heart rate is fast.

I wrote my nephew and told him about yesterday and what s coming up. this time as usual he hasn't answered me but I am not hurt or disgusted

I think going to the doctor is enough. if you sneak drink or smoke that is another thing

not sure what you mean by this...is this directed toward me?
bizi

that the doctor should know.

I had that stress test with medicine.

It felt a little odd but it did not take long and the techs were wonderful.
THe first medicine constricted the blood vessels in order to get a good
picture of the heart I believe so I got a little bit anxious with the constriction but they talked me through it.
Then they gave me a second drug to open up the blood vessels /relax things.

I had to wait a while before they let me leave.

M

I had one a couple of years ago with medicine. I didn't know how it worked. Now I wonder if I have a heart condition.

Bobby,

Your heart rate may just be high due to anxiety.
And you may just be feeling weak because of the depression right now.
Please try not to get ahead of yourself in thinking you have a heart condition yet. A lot of this testing could be precautionary :hug::hug::hug:

I really wish that you were feeling better in all ways. I want good things for you :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that your nephew hasn't written back yet. It does take some people a while to respond to emails. I hope that is the case :hug:

My nephew sent me an email last night, He wrote be positive and he was glad I was having all the tests. so my constant anxiety can do that to my heart?
My other doctor told me I had a fast heart beat too. I didn't ask what it meant.
Hopefully today with my cane and helper I won't have trouble getting to and from my appointment.
I didn't get upset with the stock market crash. I worry about trump. He is doing what he said and the republicans are doing nothing.

thinking of you bobby

thanks so much. I am so filled with anxiety.I wonder what my a1c is when i go to the doctor today.
fondly
bobby

I think your last one was 5. something?
Is that right?
bizi

I don't remember

this time it was 5.7

That is excellant!!!!!!!!
bizi:)

I am a lot more in control. The a1c really helped big time. I always worry about going blind because of diabetes, Then robert came over tonite and he has a heart condition. He said it was no big deal if I had an irregular ekg. If I had a narrowing of a vein to the heart that was no big deal. they could put a stent in me. He was so nonchalant(sp), I think he had a heart attack. I don't know how many miles a day he walks now with Mickey his dog.

That's good about the A1C.

Robert seems helpful most of the time.

I have an abnormal EKG. I have what's called a right bundle branch block. but they call it a "normal variant," which means it may not be normal, but it's okay. There are a lot of things that can fall into that category, or may not be "normal variants", but are okay.

I forgot to mention that a fast heart rate may also be due to dehydration, but I think in your case it's probably due to anxiety. A fast heart rate isn't going to damage your heart :hug:

I'm glad that your a1c was good, and you are so relieved! :)

How far are you into the new book? Is it as good as the last one?

I am half way through it. I just got on the scale and I weight so much more. ugh. I can't believe it. It can't be all weight. It is just as good. I just found out my cousin's son has brain cancer, He also has asperbergers. He can't get a break but he is dealing well with it. they won;t give him a prognosis/

I have an heart murmur that I have had since birth. As it does in time
it keeps getting harder and harder to hear. Its almost like its not there
anymore. The nurse practioneer found it really odd. But I didn't.
I have been told many times it is getting harder to hear.

I have had echo's and ekg's since I was little. THey are usually normal,
or at least the ekg's are. The echo's aren't always normal. But not exactly
sure what they see. Its kind of weird. My boys have all got an heart murmur and they all have had ekg's but only Derrick has had echo's.

Its really weird, he has had them only when he ran a really high fever in 4th grade, and when he was hallucinating later in his life.
I think they were trying to make sure it didn't effect his health. His ears
were the problem with the fevers sometimes of 105, he was in the hospital,
he had to have a pic put in to get it to open up.

Donna :grouphug:

My high anxiety returned yesterday again. I feel rotten. I finally feel asleep at three. I am not looking forward to the doctors' appointments. I am eating so much. I am so worried about my weight. It is easier to walk when I lose the weight. I spoke to my cousin again last night again. His son with brain cancer has a girlfriend he met on one of the internet sites. He spends the weekends with her at my nephews house. He still works on his four computers. He is a computer genius. He definitely has a quality of life. another cousin who I met maybe once is dying of prostate cancer. I think he suffers from mental illness.

I hope that when your cousin hears his prognosis it is good, and he makes it through this okay :hug:
Bad news like this can drive anxiety up :hug:

I'm sorry you have all these doctors' appointments coming up. Just having to go all the appointments is bad enough :hug::hug::hug:

thanks. He has radiation five times a week. I was so glad to hear about his girlfriend and his ability to keep on using his computers. I think it is his first girlfriend. Allan is going through Hell, my cousin. He is a self employed carpenter. His friends have offered him money. He turned down some so he won't be lazy. He is an animal lover and so is his son. He has a daughter out west who might be bipolar. His exwife is bipolar.

Have you seen or heard from Cecilia or Stella lately?

stella I haven't seen but I talked with her. I saw Cecilia yesterday. she said she didn't know what she would do without me. I said that isn't true. I was shocked. Great news. She got the cutest and friendliest puppy yesterday named Prince. I adore him. He is another Papillon. His face is all black and he is about three or four months old and already bigger than Sofia. He already seems a bit obedient. What a dollface. Maybe Sofia will learn to be less timid. she was that way the day Cecilia got her from the same breeder. Cecilia is in heaven. I hope she lets me see him again today. You can eat him up.
I have been constipated. I took citrate of magnesium but still am constipated after it worked.
I am going to try to walk in the hall three times today since I have two doctors' appointments back to back close by and I hope I can walk. It is not even a block. That episode really scared me.
I have spent so much money this month I am afraid to look. I told my psychiatrist about my out of control spending.

I am glad that you have some friends.
I need to get some more.....:(
puppies are such a joy!
good luck with the walking and appointments.
bizi

I just visited Cecilia. Prince is such a dolface. I forgot. She doesn't want him to lick me because of all the medication I take,. I don't blame her. I forgot.

Bobby
She can remind you, or you'll start remembering. She knows you have
issues with memory.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

I will tell her so she will not feel embarrassed. what a let down

I am pretty sure that a vet would say that it's o.k.

I will call my vet but I don't think cecilia will believe him if he says it is all right. thanks Mari, Yesterday Marcia said she will come on Tuesday afternoon too. I can't believe it. I got on the scale and I lost weight. I have to check it again. I don't believe it. I have been constipated lately and the phillips isn't working.
I walked twice in the hall yesterday even though I felt tired. I didn't thinnnk I could do it.
