Just a quick check in

Hope everybody is doing good.

Still in and out the hospital. Had trouble last week with fluid and had to go in for a couple days. Also had another echo scan of my heart. Not much of a change there. Just a little bit lower. Had a PM read done and they adjusted that some. That was a first in over two years. The EP and cardo doctors are talking about adding a 4th wire now. It seams that the wire to the left side of my heart is not working all that good anymore were it is located at. That is the real bad side of my heart.

They did add some more blood pressure meds. That has helped a lot. They still don't know as to why my pressure has jumped up the last two months.

And now on top of everything, I picked up a cold. Coughing up pieces of lung is not nice. Oh, the wife has it too!

Today, I have to head back to New Orleans. Blood work, appointment with the EP to talk about this 4th wire and a appointment with the transplant team.

Oh well, life is never boring. LOL

Take care and God Bless,
Paul

Good to hear from you. Sounds like its one thing after another, hope you and your wife kick the cold. Colds and coughing can sure drag you down. The 4th wire sounds like it could help. I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep you in my prayers. Keep on Keeping on!! Jean

Why do pacemakers beep and when do I need to call
the doctor.
