Hi Teri & Libby, hope your scope went well Libby. I'm too busy to be worried about anything Libby. We are camping this weekend and then I have daugters graduation on Thursday after my procedure. Hope they don't find something bad. Oh well think positive as I always say.

No Teri I don't see why they wouldn't if the council is shown that they do have the money to pay my insurance if I'm full time. I am well liked by the seniors and my boss. The problem though with the council is that they are the city aldermen and they don't know me at all. The ones that I did know that were seniors got voted out this spring. So they are looking at this very differently where it is just the money that counts to them. It still sounds good though. I will let you all know on the 7th of June. You may not hear much from me this next week with the camping and then the graduation preparations so don't worry. I'll be back. Take care everyone and have a great weekend. Barb

Heidi sorry to hear about your sons. Hope things work out with them just keep praying for them and loving them no matter what. We had a lot of problems with our kids. My son has turned out to be an exceptional young man. I think the Marine Corps and his new wife had alot to do with his change also. He tells us he loves us everytime he calls. He also thanked me for working 2 & 3 jobs all these years to take care of the family. That really touched me. So someday they will realize how much their parents mean to them and how important they are to have in their lives. Take care and have a nice weekend.
Hey at least your fur kids love you unconditionally. They listen so much better too than the human kids. lol

hi everyone,

well, i'm back home from my EGD this morning and the procedure

and results all were fine!  i can't remember who was up next for

the scope, barb or heidi?  but i know there was a lot of worry -

i have to say i remember NOTHING, ZERO after he gave me the

versed.  they said they would need me awake to help with the

first swallow, which i dreaded, but if i was awake then i don't

know it!  it was quick and easy and i was out of there and going

back home in about 2 hours total time.  so the upshot is good, too,

mostly, that he found sorta nothing.  he said it's definitely acid

reflux but also probably a "spastic esophagus" - that sounds about

par for something that i would have!  so new meds, probably, either

klonopin, which i understand is originally prescribed for epileptics,

or amytriptiline, which i've tried before and didn't feel very good

on.  anyone else tried either of these? 

just wanted to encourage whoever is next!

and i'm headed to mayo on monday for a wednesday appointment.

now i've had this test, i hope that's less i'll have to have done

there.  although may have another heart cath there, we'll see...

libby

Hiya, Libby!! It's so good to hear that your results were so favorable!! I get esophageal spasms as well. :( I guess it sort of comes with the territory-angina-asthma, all sort of feel the same.

I take Klonopin for anxiety. I take it at night and take a very very low dose, so that my BP doesn't get too low. :) It works for me and I've had no problems with it.

When are your other tests to be done??

You get a good night's rest and take care!

Big Hugs, Teri :)

I've been so overly active these past few days, had a small set back this morning waking up with an asthma attack, then this afternoon after 2 long days of shopping for my daughter's B.D. and working with the birds...I had an angina attack this afternoon that I was able to conquer on my own with out outside intervention. But left me feeling rather drained today.

Libby, I hope your weekend has turned more on a positive note, with the endoscopy results behind you?! Let's hope that the rest of your tests and problems all stay that way-positive! :)

Heidi, I'm sure glad you're doing better today!!

Ya'll take care. Hugs always, Teri :)

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers during your stay at the Mayo Clinic Libby!   

 

Woohoo Lil, it will be great having school out in just a few more days! 

 

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend everyone!  Hugs, Pat

Posted 5/29/2005 8:39 PM (GMT 0)
Libby, please check in whenever you are able to and keep us updated! I miss you already!! :)

Lil, I hope things really start going your way soon, and getting this 2nd ablation done will do the trick, I just know it!! I'm so proud of you with all you've gone through this past year-you've come a real long way!!

Today, is my daughter's 17th birthday!! :) and we're all going out to dinner tonight-they even let her off work early today!! :) Lil, I'm still having problems, but am trying to sort them out via my on call Dr. vs. going in and to be admitted. I really do not want to have my daughter remember her BD this way!! So I'm just relaxing per his instructions...They've increased my nitro patch from .4 mg. to .6 mg. had me take a sublingual nitro and I'm to do nothing. My ankle has increased in swelling on my left leg and he said it may be my heart having problems. They can't give me anything else, or diuretics as that would lower my already low BP. I'm feeling a bit better now, so just having a lazy day and letting someone else cook for all of us!! Yea!! lol

Hugs, Teri :)
Posted 5/30/2005 6:55 PM (GMT 0)
Just a quick note here for all...I am having some right sided heart failure crop up again and they're playing around with my medications the past couple of days...I'm doing okay, just feeling a bit worn out. I'm supposed to be in bed "Supine" was the word he used-so I am going to do that now and hopefully will get a chance to check in later!!

Ya'll take care and I'll pop back in before you realize I even wrote this note!! lol

Big Hugs, Teri :)
Posted 5/31/2005 2:23 AM (GMT 0)

(((Heidi))), you are a sweetheart, thank you!! Sometimes I think things like this are what keeps me going!! But, you my friend, never need an invitation, you are always welcomed here-jump in whenever you can!! Love Ya, Teri :)
Posted 5/31/2005 12:55 PM (GMT 0)
Teri, I'm also so sorry to hear about your current problems with the heart failure. I hope that you got enough rest yesterday and that by today you are much improved. I was gone part of the long memorial day weekend and just got here to read for the first time this morning. Hugs, Kathy

I'm tired, but I think from traveling. I have not driven much since Jan of 2004, but I actually drove all the way up north on Saturday and stayed awake the entire trip home while my daughter drove! I slept all day Sunday, though. Yipes!
Posted 5/31/2005 4:35 PM (GMT 0)
Hi Kathlyn!!

Thanks, yes, I am feeling a bit better today-not so much swelling when I woke up this morning!! So I think just putting me back on the small dose of 2.5 Norvasc helped. Now to rid myself of the angina-have been wearing 2 patches=.6 mg. the past 2 days and it's really helped-so play today by ear. Maybe starting the Norvasc will help that, too. :) Have Cardio appt. on Fri.

Kathlyn, I hope you enjoyed your Holiday visit?-and what an accomplishment-driving like that-how wonderful for you!! Are you back to work now, too?

Hugs, Teri :)
