Food prices are already going through the roof.
Thanks.
My wife saw her “medical team” today...no clues...though they did find an arrhythmia and scheduled heart stuff. (Why the ER people didn’t find it when they took her vitals, I’ll never know.)
She takes BP meds...and it appears they may be zeroing in on an adjustment.
She is tougher than shoe leather...seems you are cut from the same cloth...
Thanks again.
And I guess I would have to say I hope it is just mental. What is he doing?
For anyone who’s interested, here’s an article on the Illinois Route 66 Association website about this year’s motor tour, along with photos taken over the weekend. I checked, and I’m not in any of them. LOL
If you see something in a photo you want to know about, just let me know. https://www.il66assoc.org/2021/06/motor-tour-2021-recap/
Prayers for your better half, you and rest of family.
I think it’s because I’ve tried everything for fleas and I can’t get it on him or it doesn’t work. I went to vet’s, across the street, they told me I can bring him in tomorrow and they will administer some good meds. I can’t even get that wild and crazy guy in his carrier so my son says he’ll come help me.
I was up until 3 because the 3rd attempt at meds I thought I got on his face and maybe eyes. Rusty was so easy to take care of. Now at my age I’ve got a wildcat that’s very loving as long as he is in charge.
“....though they did find an arrhythmia and scheduled heart stuff. (Why the ER people didn’t find it when they took her vitals, I’ll never know.)”
Stylin, when my lung doctor put me on oxygen I bought one of those finger oxygen testers which also shows your pulse rate. Sometimes I would see it at 30 beats per minute and if I did much exertion it would go to 100 or more. When I went back into him I told him and showed him as I brought it with me. Even their blood pressure machine showed it at 30 bpm. He said let me take a listen and then he said “No wonder you have an arrhythmia” and asked who my cardiologist was. I told him I haven’t since about 3 yrs. ago. So he put in a referral. They called and said it would be OCTOBER before they could get me in. I then went to my regular doctor and told her about it. She took a listen and then did an EKG. She said she didn’t hear anything and the EKG didn’t show that but it did show I skip beats which she said is no big deal. I asked her how could the lung doctor hear it and not you or the EKG show it. She said it could be INTERMITENT. She said she could maybe get me into a Cardiologist sooner. One who still has his OWN practice and NOT connected to the hospital. I HAVEN’T heard a thing.
Another thing when at the Lung doctor he said he wanted to change the inhaler I was on to a different one. To ANORO ELLIPTA. So I looked it up and it has a steroid in it and it said don’t use with Beta Blockers. So I looked up a BP pill my regular Dr. had put me on several yrs. ago because I told her I had headaches EVERY DAY. It was like a vise was squeezing my head. She said these BP pills were used to get rid of headaches, which they seemed to. But anyway I looked them up and they are Beta Blockers. I also checked the side effects of those BP pills while I was at it. The list said.
1. Slow heart rate (yep have that)
2. Diarrhea (which I get every so often and don’t know why)
3. Dry eyes (very much so)
4. Hair loss (every time a run a brush through my hair)
5. Weakness or tiredness (It got so I would get up and just sit back down in my chair the rest of the day. I couldn’t function)
6. Cold hands, or feet. (sometimes not to bad)
7. Dry peeling skin (It is awful)
She told me how to wean off of them and I just finished and I feel better already as far as being weak and tired all the time. I guess more time will tell.
Basically ALL medications are poison. I wish I would have checked on the side effects that it (Propranolol) could have on people and maybe the last few years could have been better. I was just blaming all my weakness and tiredness on having to care for my dying husband.
Hope everything gets figured out for your wife. And don’t think doctors know everything because they don’t. They are pill pushers. One needs to be in tune with their OWN body also.
I hope you don’t mind I have posted some of your memes on facebook.
I guess I should have asked before doing so but if I recall you told someone else it was ok.
What’s the last picture, with a lot of old cars in a building?
My gosh, he’s a terror!
I pick up Roy to put goop in his ears, syringe liquid in his mouth, clean his eyes and ears - and he purrs. I feel guilty - but grateful - that he has to go through all this.
Interesting...they didn’t mention us stopping there at all in the article that I could see! It’s the Corvair Museum.
If you didn’t catch it in the article, here’s a video of this year’s crossing of the Chain of Rocks Bridge; different videographer. https://www.facebook.com/12819592/videos/10104331268470189
I just now clicked on the link in the Association article that goes to a newspaper article specifically about the banquet at the American Legion in Lincoln. It has additional photos. Here’s the link for convenience. https://newherald.news/illinois-route-association-celebrates-th-motor-tour-with-lincoln-banqu-p17072-103.htm?fbclid=IwAR3JTbyIompQqoEDbt0IHkl_4kE895zzNBPfz-wUdb7VwRNRi-NlnklvkDI
I’m glad you did your own checking and figured out the side effects. Sadly, doctors should be doing that. And pharmacists as well. That’s why they get the big bucks.
Oops, I meant I feel guilty he has to go through this stuff. But I am grateful it’s him and not crazy sister Cotton.
Speaking of her, she has been limping and the medication she was given a month or so ago made her sick. So I had to discontinue it. I brought her to my new vet who gave her an injection. For the very first time she went upstairs. She’s also been locked in the basement three times. Which is good, means she is finally getting to explore. Poor little thing her paw hurt so bad that all she did was hide in my room.
No problem at all.
Anyone who likes please feel free to repost anything I post.
Most of my MEMEs are political commentary of some sort so the more they are shared the better!
