Good Morning all

Hope everybody is doing good. Myself, well I'm still hanging in there. Still in and out the hospital weekly now. More meds and the list is now 3 pages long.

The weather has been great the last week here and I been getting outside as much as I can. When I went to New Orleans last Tuesday for a check up, my doctor told me I looked good. Got a little sun burn the day before. The bad thing was that I had put 10 lbs on overnight. Heck, I was drowning in fluid. Once he saw what was going on, treatment was a bunch of Lasix. I already take 120mg of that a day. As to why I put the extra weight on, just don't know.

Read your post on CHF. Nice post and so true. Everybody I come in contact look at me and think everything is good. Even my doctors till they read my blood work.Now my wife and kids know better. It took some time for them to just let me be and to adjust. Still at times they ask me if I'm doing OK over and over. I get tired of that quick.

Anyway, this year I will have 3 birthdays. LOL Last March was when a couple doctors told me and my wife I had less then 6 months to live. Blew that out the water. LOL

Next week will be 3 years with my CRT-D. In that time, it only fired off once right in front of EMT's that my wife called 911.

And Easter Sunday will be my real birthday. I think that is a first that I can ever remember.

Take care all and God Bless,
Paul

I was retaining water a few years back, and was put on high doses of water pills. Once the pills started working I lost 17 pounds practically over night.

You've brightened my night, and tomorrow will be brighter too, I always feel a bit better hearing from you, if Paul can make it with a cheery good morning I guess I can just dig in and keep going. Thank you, and lots of happy days to you. Jean
