I've had good days since my last post. My diabetes appointment went well. I feel stronger, I'm walking further, and I just feel better overall. I am getting more sleep than before, too. That probably has helped more than anything. I really feel like I am close to being back to myself. Well, except my taste buds. I am having trouble with spicy food. I used to enjoy spicy dishes, but now even medium salsa is hard to handle... too hot! WTH?!? What did they do to me? This isn't fair! I think they did it on purpose to get me to enjoy bland "heart healthy" foods. It's a conspiracy... but it won't work. I'm on to it and vow to eat spicy foods again!
I see the cardiologist on Monday, May 4. That will likely result in a change in meds, which I worry about a little because I feel as if my progress is going well now. I know they have to put me back on Cozaar to decrease the chance of a stroke, but it also lowers my blood pressure. Hopefully, all goes well and some of my restrictions are lifted. If not, I see the cardiothoracic surgeon on the 14th and that should result in getting the green light provided I give the correct answers and have good test results. May 18th could be the date I get released from house arrest. I'm not sure who will be happier, me or Erin? :-) Then, I can go to work and bring back the chaos!
Wish me luck on Monday.
