Don't know if it is necessary to start a new thread with this update , but I am sure I will be told if I have messed up!
I've been reprimanded more this week than the time I was caught skipping in junior high , but if you give me enough time I will come up with a new plan. Alot of you have told me to be more agressive with my own health care and many of you have suggested I should seek another cardiologist. Well, I've been listening to you.
When we moved back to WV from Houston, we moved to a town that was pretty much right in the middle of Charleston and Huntington. We gravitated toward Charleston for our medical care. This past fall, I moved closer to Huntington. I've opted to participate in the cardiac rehab program at St. Mary's in Huntington where a brand new Heart Institute has just opened. St. Mary's has been around forever and has a great reputation. I believe I will be exposed to a lot of spontaneous and open conversations regarding cardiologists in the Huntington area during my rehab. I'll be able to do a little detective work while I am working out and I think it will lead to a rather natural transfer of my care to Huntington. So that's my plan and I'm sticking to it!
As far as my progress goes, I am getting there. Still a little tired, lungs still feel a little funky at times, but I can go all day without feeling short of breathe....except when I bend over....what is that all about? Overall, life is good and getting back to normal. Hope all of you mom's out there have a great Mother's Day!
Thanks again for your concern this week!
