Procedure Is Done

Went through the Cath procedure and nothing conclusive showed up. No more blockages but also no explanation for the way I was feeling so the next step is to do a minor change to my meds.
The doc wants to drop my BP a little more to see if that helps. This is the part I hate when they start playing the med game.

Well, at least I can move on to the tooth repair now....man this aging stuff is a bummer! They'll get ya one way or another.

Trip Canceled

We had planned a trip up North to meet up with our friends Don & Lucy and travel up to Moosehead Lake, Maine.

Joyce and I have been running around trying to take care of things so we could take this trip. We took the coach down for it's state inspection and I topped off the tank, etc..

Well..........other than my broken tooth which is scheduled to come out next week, I haven't been running at 100% so I move my appointment with my cardiologist up to last Friday.

After explaining to him how I have been feeling, he feels it's best that I get checked out on Wednesday. I already have seven Stents....the last five where done three years ago and I can pretty much tell when I may have a blockage. I guess I knew something was wrong but didn't want to accept it knowing that I would have to cancel our plans.

So next Tuesday I have an appointment for pre-op testing, then Wed. morning I will return to the Cath Lab for a procedure to see if there is any blockage in the arteries around my heart.

The neat part is I get to watch the procedure on the same screen that the doctor watches as the probe travels to my heart in search of blockages.

So I have to hurry up and get all my junk fixed so I will be ready to head south after xmas. We'll see!!!!!

Casey Taking Her Meds

Casey is such a sissy dog. She has allergies and has to take some meds for a month to stop the itch. All I have to do is get the bottle of pills and she comes over and lays on her back as shown below. Never taught her to do that, she just does it, I show her the pills then pop them into her mouth.
Down the hatch they go and a little neck rub helps.

Done! Now she wants her belly scratched, what a ham!

Checking In

Good Morning Barbara, glad to see you're still following us.

Off for a root canal tomorrow on the tooth I broke four months ago. So I'm in sticker shock at $3000.00 for a root canal, post and enamel crown, plus five surfaces filled. Man that would really buy a lot of fuel for travel.

Still have to get an inspection sticker for the coach before the weekend because we will be heading north for a week or two, I'd rather go south towards the warmth.

Oh well, short post today........Have a Great Day Barbara:)
