Hey, Wow, we could be sisters, nothing wants to run right for me either.
And I seem to always be backwards with everything.

I had the Right Heart Catherization yesterday. It showed my pressures to be 26 and 27, so the cardio who did it, says it's normal. I wish I was thinking yesterday, as the PH specialist said anything above 25 was abnormal, but I was so tired, and just wanted to go home, and it was getting so late, and it's a 3 hour drive. My husband drove me, but still, it's really hard on me.. I'm so exhausted today.

I got a little scared, as my cath site had a couple drops of blood. but I haven't had any since this morning when it happened. If it happens again, I'll go down to the er.

Last time I had this happen, I had to have that stupid clamp put back on..I really hate those.

I'm sorry, they haven't been able to do anything yet for you, from what I was told, one should see a PH specialist to be certain, it's not something to mess around with.

You know though, the expert, who is very nice, and is probably one of the tops PH specialist in the country told both myself, and my husband that he was pretty confident that I had PH. When he listened to my heart, and chest, he said I sounded just like all his other PH patients , and my echo said my pressures were 45, so when they checked through the cath, and it at first said 27, so they were kind of thrown off, and redid the test, and it said 26. So now, they're saying no.

Can't understand it all, but I'm going to just trust that they know what they're saying, and doing.

I've wondered how you're doing often.
Love Lizzie
