I did not give a doctor's report

The doctor had an EKG run before Bob's appointment the other day.
Based on the EKG and the stress test he says hubby's heart is stable but. . .
according to data from the pacemaker he is retaining fluid.
So he will be starting two more pills for that situation.
Then more labs, more appointments, more, more more.
I would agree, though, that he acts like his heart is stable. He has seemed to feel better since being treated for a bladder infection.
I hope that continues.

Thanks for the update. My mother had to take a diuretic, too, but would skip it if she had to go out somewhere.

My sister-in-law was that way. Had to drive long distances to take care of her mom and dad. She was taking them for blood pressure.

It will probably accumulate for the rest of his life and we will just have to manage it.

He is feeling motivated after some of these appointments he has had. He is going to get up and move around more.

It sounds a good report then Heather.
Now to get rid of the fluid build up.
So glad that bladder is taken care of..that is so painful.

I think that was making him nauseous and sapping all of his energy.
