Whoa, things got busy!!

Even though I left college for health reasons, the universe isn't letting me sit quietly (and quite frankly, it isn't my style)! Here are some of the things going on:

1) I have a blog! Go check it out at www.thetachylife.blogspot.com (pretty, pretty please!)

2) I am now training to become a Healthcare Documentation Specialist online, which would enable me to find a great paying job online ( a very POTS-friendly career!)

3) Yesterday, during an episode of "skipping beats," I took my blood pressure. The machine showed a bp of 175/85 (normally 100/60 range) and a hr of 43 (PM should keep it above 60)!! YIKES!

4) I called my doctor regarding No. 3, and he wants to do ANOTHER monitor! *face palm* Granted, this one is going to be a 24-hour monitor instead of the 30 day, but still! Ugh. We still do not have results from the last one (turned it in over a month ago), even though the company claims to have faxed it to the doctor. So now I have to authorize release of the results to me, and then pass them along. Oi vey!

Too much drama for me.

At any rate, please check out my blog, and drop me a message if we don't know each other! I would love to get to know some new peeps ;)

Hi Syd, Thank You for your recent message. I checked out your blog, very well written & informative. Your Ten Commandments on understanding "POTS" and how to handle communications with patients having this problem is a "MUST READ".
I also had my retired Cardiac nurse, wife Sharon read & endorse all 10. I also hope you get good readings on your monitor.
