I thought you might get a good laugh out of it. I also wondered what happened to Suz. I've missed her postings. I enjoyed hearing about her dad and how well he was doing after his surgery. I see Mark is posting again. I'm so glad.
Sure go and wallow a bit..why not..wallowing is a good thing for a short time..you deserve a good wallow once and a while. My husband was in the hospital about a year and a half ago..they thought that he had CHF and pneumonia. His legs were swollen beyond belief as well as his abdomin and his Creatinine was way up. He is a diabetic and was on Actos and on Norvasc for High Blood pressure. It turned out that the combination of these two drugs was deadly for him..they both tend to have a nasty side effect for many people of fluid retention.After two blood transfusions and running Lasix IV's for 6 days and 20 pounds of fluid excreted..he went home. He will never use these drugs again. The Cardio people called in a Nephrology team right away. I belive it was Nephrology that got things under control quickly rather than the cardiac team. I would encourage you to try and have the Nephrolgist see you quickly so you do not get any kidney damage or they can prevent any further damage if any has started. My husband has the start of some Renal failure due to his Diabetes and some arterial kidney blockage in his right kidney. He never really had CHF..it was all due to his meds.
