First off I wanted to say Chapter 9 of the Never Gone series will hopefully be out later in the week depending on Hurricane Helene. But me and my bride just got back from drug store shopping. And as you can see above I got a grocery bag full of new drugs. I won’t get into details but without my insurance that bag is worth more than the Kia I’m driving.
Yesterday afternoon I went to my cute little cardiologist NP, for the results and outlook of my recent heart catheterization. Sadly I guess, the outlook isn’t very good. The angina and heart flutters I’ve been having at night are do to a decrease in my hearts Ejection Fraction (EF). Normally the lower chambers pump blood at 50%, below 40% isn’t good. Mine are down to 20%. So my cardiologist recommends implanting an ICD defibrillator. So hopefully down the road, So I'm getting a Baby Bobby (Long story).
So am I worried about the consequences, huh, Yes! Do I trust the diagnosis? Even Bigger Yes! So I’m preparing myself for a life with a few new shocking surprises. I wish the news was better or at least the same. But it is what it is. My NP did say that was not retaining fluids , was is common. Or that I didn’t need another stent. Is just that things are deteriorating as is often the case with congestive heart failure. But with this change in medication and the implant as a backup plan. I’ll do my best to make sure my life is worth more time.
