UPDATE OF MY DR'S APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD TODAY...

Hello... First of all I'd like to say Thank You so much for keeping me in your prayers today! That means so much to me! ♥You all are the best!♥

The news I got from my dr. today wasn't what I was hoping for, by any measure.. My blood pressure was on the high side. I don't even remember now what it was now. My dr. has put me on Metoprolol 50mg tablets and also I have Nitrolingual pump spray, just in case I have chest pains, and need to use it.. I will start my Met. medicine tomorrow morning, to take along with my Norvasc and baby aspirin.. He also said that I need to set up an appointment with the dr. who gave me my stress test, and have him put a catheter in and check my heart to see if there are any blockages, and if I need to have any stents put in..and if so, that they'd put them in right there. The stress test office is to give me or my dr. a call with a date and time for my appointment with him.. No calls from them today... as it's after 5pm now.

I need to also get some blood work done where I usually go to have it drawn.. My blood work, I'll be doing either tomorrow morning or Friday morning.. Probably the sooner, the better, I'd imagine. Then my dr. wants to see me in a couple weeks for another OV, to check and see how I'm doing.. He said my results on the stress test were, if # 1 was good and # 5 was bad, I did a #3.. Not what I had hoped to hear.. So anyhow, that's how my OV went today.. I really should check my BP once a week or so, just to have an idea on how it's doing. He didn't say this to me today, but I know from other dr visit's that he's mentioned me doing this.. but, I haven't done as good of a job as I should have..

It's just kind of scary since I know there have been heart problems that run in my familys history..

I then decided to go to Michael's Craft Store after my dr's appointment and picked me up some items that I just absolutely had to have.. We all know how that goes, I'm sure! I hadn't been shopping in there in ages! Then, I went and picked up my med's at Walgreens..

It's been a gorgeous day out, quite windy, but gorgeous out just the same!

My hubby called a little bit ago and said we can let someone else cook supper tonight for us.. I said All Rightie!! I always like it when someone else does the cooking!

I'd appreciate it so much, if you'd still keep me in your prayers.. I think I'm going to be fine really, but just in case something goes haywire, beknowns to me right now... Thank you so much!

You all have a great evening and Thank you for visiting me on my blog today! I'll keep you updated along my way...

I'd like to say ♥Thank You♥ to my daughter Michele for pushing me to make a dr's appointment with my dr., for when I got back home from my visit with her in AZ...

Blessings,
~Lynn

  1. I'm sorry that the results weren't quite what you wanted. But it's better to find out now instead of in an emergency setting! Prevention is the key!!!

    I agree that it's always wonderful to hear let someone else do the cooking.

  4. It's disappointing to get news you didn't want but it is a good thing you went and got checked out. I am overdue for a physical myself...have one scheduled for the end of April. I will add you to my prayer list :)

    Thanks for visiting me the other day and commenting on my post about the family trip to the speedway!

    Enjoy a wonderful Easter with your family.

  5. Hi Lynn. I am just now getting time to catch up on my blog reading. I am so sorry to hear about your test results. That is scary to think that something might be wrong with your heart! I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a nice Easter.

  7. Lynn: Even though the news wasn't what you had hoped for, now you have a base. Get that BP down. Please tell hubby that you need AT LEAST two nights out at a local restaurant PER week....one massage PER week will also help tremendously! Nothing better than a pedicure!

    If you're not feeling well, you may as well *work it*. Keep us informed.
