My dad and I went and saw my electrophysiologist on Thursday and I now have a well established treatment plan. I feel such a sense of hope and peace just knowing that I have steps to take towards getting better. It will still be a long road but I at least know what the first mile of the course looks like.
I have dehydration issues that effect my kidneys and don't help my heart so on Monday or Tuesday I will be getting a PICC line put in and 2 times a week I will get 2 liters of IV fluids to keep my kidneys functioning correctly and help my heart to work properly. BJC home health will teach me how to do this and do dressing changes and all that good stuff so that will be fun but it should help me to feel a lot better because my kidneys are already showing signs of the dehydration.
I was given some ideas for home exercises and a list of diseases to give to any physical therapist that whether they know my condition or not they will know one of the 7 diseases on the list and if they treat me like they would treat those it will be effective.
I was also given more drugs to help me with retaining fluid and a massive potassium pill to go a long with it as well as another form of nausea medication. So, I have surpassed most people in pills and I will soon have a permanent IV for saline infusions to go along with my compression stockings and abdominal compression band. In conclusion it is now official I could not become any sexier than this. goodnight and sweet dreams.
