A request from kat- new blog posting-April 2010

Thanks, friends. A joy to share from today:

Saw my new primary care doc. She is SO good, nice, calm, etc. I mentioned how calm and calming she is...she said she doesn't get upset at anything any more, she's seen it all.:-)

Anyway, she was very positive about how I am doing other than we are going to get me off the zoloft and maybe try something else OR not, depending on what she and the therapist feel with my input. This makes me very happy as the side effects have been getting worse each time we upped the dosage, really effecting my sleep and energy.

Just the echo and bloodwork results to get through now, but I am not anticipating anything but good news. The worry is gone. Thank you all.

It makes a WORLD of difference having a Dr. who is calm and kind, doesn't it? I'm so glad that your doctor is both!!!!

Here's to feeling better, and FANTABULOUS reports!!!!

(((((Hugs & Love)))))))

Michelle who can't sleep because they fussed with her meds so I feel your pain!!!!

Hey Kat,

I've just stumbled upon this thread and didn't realise what you've been going through these last few months.

Rest assured, I'm sending love, sloppy kisses and bear hugs from the Great Downunder.

luv

Last night I foolishly drankl a Coke - my first in months - after 6PM. Realized it when I simply could not fall asleep. Damn caffeine. No fun counting backwards from 100,000 and reaching 59,998.

KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR zOLOFT REPLACEMENT, KAT. ooopS. dAMN cAPSLOCK...

Turns out they've decided to keep me on zoloft for a bit more. I am going to talk with them more on Wed.

The nerves could use some calming as I go for the first echo-cardiogram since surgery, almost five years ago, at 230p Mudcat time. Rog will be with me and I am taking my special pillow so I won't get a crick in my neck and shoulder. I don't mind the procedure; it's what it might show, but the other tests say all is well, so I am concentrating on that. Thanks for your help.

love,

kat

I am back and I was so calm I almost fell asleep! Thank you lot!**bg**

DougeR...thanks for the laugh...politics was far from my mind. I sang little positive songs in my head, throughout (I am walking in the Light; I walk in beauty; and a couple of others.) I also watched and heard all different aspects of my heart. Saw the mechanical valve and heard it, too. It is LOUD. I also saw a shot of all four chambers. It was fascinating what little bit I could identify without bothering the tech too much. Rog watched, too.

Used to be it took longer as they put it all on videotape. Now, they do it all digitally, so they get specific shots, lots of them, the doc can bounce around looking at them, comparing, etc. without having to rewind the tape, etc.

Also turns out they normally order an echo six months after surgery which never happened with me.

I do visualizations of my heart, too. My current one is of a beautiful red rose about halfway open. In the centre is my darling grandson, Morgan, with a beautiful smile looking right at me. I could just see that in my mind's eye whilst there.

Mudcatters are awesome! Thank you, so much. I will keep you posted, but do not anticipate anything untoward just as the cardio's PA said.

love yew,

kat

Well, I missed the whole thing, spending the day with my daughter and taking her back to college. But my day was filled with love and laughter, and some of it surely radiated your way. I'm so glad it came out the way it did- I LOVE the image of the rose-Morgan-heart.

Bless you, dear.

Sounds like you handled things just fine. And for once I agree with DougR--don't think about politics at a time like that!

I had an orthodontist appointment one morning and they put me in that nice comfy chair to wait for the next dentist or assistant to come adjust my wires and the room was dim and I was out like a light. . . I woke to hear the dentist chuckling in the doorway. I think they probably don't mind if you're so relaxed that you'll sleep, Kat! It's a good sign.

Not just one nap! I didn't realise how much energy I used up. I remember lying down about 430p or so...didn't wake up until Rog came strolling in almost at 6p!

Thank you, Dear Ones.

Well now you all are making me blush.:-) Thanks, again, my friends.

I forgot to say, all day before the test and while we were driving to the test, I also had Max in my head singing Oh Glory How Happy I Am (youtube video). Talented kid, ain't he? The part which kept running through my head was the title line, BUT, I thought it was "You don't know how happy I am!"

Thanks, again, so very much.

That's great news, kat, and you got an additional weapon you never had if Rog ever accuses you (I'm sure he never would though)of beaing heartless! You can just scream, "I do so, and I know! I SAW the damn thing!"

I gave in and call the cardio, today, as he had not called me and it's been over a week. The PA was going to call me back, but he called himself!

Anyway, the echo didn't show anything particularly new except that we have a better working valve (big surprise, eh!) The plan is to keep doing what we are with meds, weight, and exercise, all of which are helping and I go see him in August for an annual. Thanks for being here with me!

Yes, thanks to you all! I may have sounded a little unsure or circumspect. Suffice it to say, the echo wasn't any different from the last one, pre-surgery except for very important fact there is a well-working new aortic valve with no loose stitches! (Last summer the cardio scared me with THAT as an excuse to get an echo which I said no to!)

Anyway, it IS good news because it means my heart has held its own and NOT enlarged any more than it was before. He also agreed with me that the losing weight and exercise will help regardless.

My other doc and therapist are working with me to get off of the zoloft. I will be going for biofeedback next Monday. I am really happy about that!

Thanks, again,

kat
