hi everyone
i am back from disney. we had a great time. we wound up going to 6 parks in 8 days. the walking was great and i never felt tired. my brother on the other hand seemed to be tired alot and i practically begged him to go see my cardio ( a family friend ). i am afraid that he may have a heart problem. he isnsist not but I had a bicuspid aortic valve and he could too due to it being herediatery.
my daughter annie insisted that she get a horseback ride EVERYWHERE (the parking lot, the park, the airport, the airplane, the bathroom and even on lines). i pretty much carried her everywhere. i felt like mr. ed. but i loved every minute of it.
of course the trip was not completely perfect. on monday 2/3 i started have blood in my urine. it started off as a dark yellow, to brown, to orange and eventually to very bright red. i called the cardio the next day and he told me to stop the coumdin until i stop bleeding. then i went to a walk in center and did a urine test to check for any infections. nothing but they gave me cipro just in case. the following nite ( wednesday) i woke up with severe pains in my lower back, side, and groin. a few hours later i felt the stones pass. it was hard to see them due to the blood clots in my urine. i kept bleeding until friday and then it stopped. my cardio and my sister in law ( general practioner) both feel that the coumdin made the bleeding seem more severe than it really was. either way it scared my mother and wife and eventaully me too since i was bleeding for 5 days. all is well now. i went back on my coumdin yesterday. i don't know why since i was told that i could stop on 2/15. i will probably take it for a extra week just in case.
florida was nice and warm. came home to a foot of snow and then it snowed yesterday. we build a big snowman last night and today i shoveled the driveway and the walkways around my house. oh yeah i forgot my blood pressure went up to 140/96 the day i went into the walk in center. i will go see my cardio next week to get a new reading.
take care
