Blessing that you are home and back on FR. Now for some advice from a nurse.
1. Many doctors one pharmacy. If you have to use two, make sure that the the immediate pharmacy knows about all of your medications that you take, even the over the counter stuff.
2. Cherries work great to rid your body of uric acid.
3. Make yourself a medical information sheet. On it place your name, address, phone number ICE (In Case of Emergency) name and phone number, Allergies, Conditions, Doctor List, Surgeries, and Medications with the amount and why you take them. Carry one copy in your wallet and one should be entrusted with a family member. When my mom or husband get a trip to ER I product this sheet. More than one triage nurse has pledged their love for me upon receiving this information. It make their job easy and eliminates 99% of errors of information, especially meds. Then all they have to ask is if the patient has eaten and what is the current situation.
Continued prayers for healing and good heal.
Excellent advice on the Medic Alert card.
For my dad I printed a foldable credit card size with all the info you named plus a big red cross and bold medic alert on cover with his name, insurance numbers and ICE, inside primary and cardio Dr info, surgical history and meds list. Laminated several copies, wallet, neck chain, and car visor clip-on. Served him very well in severe multi-car pile up when he was unconcious. Cardio implant and blood thinner note was in bold.
And as you said EMTs and OR nurses and Drs really appreciated the quick, concise detailed info when minutes count with cardiac conditions.
