My sexy Doctors appointment

Ok it wasn't all that sexy but the gown was pretty skimpy. I was at the hospital for 5 1/2 hours, for one visit!!  The Dr's kept adding new tests.  So drumroll.. here are the results.

Ultrasound- Excellent, my Dr said that it is better than my last one.  
EKG- Good, my pacer is working and I had minimal arythmia's
Pulmonary- Poor, I have to see a Pulmonologist and I am on Oxygen whenever I'm at home, not just at nights. I could have asthma or something else besides my damaged lungs.
Stress Test-Poor, My heart rate refuses to go up when I am active so I am going on a new drug and getting a new all improved Pacer.
Blood test- I haven't heard yet.

Conclusion....My Heart is good but my lungs suck...literally HaHa.  I will be having a little hospital stay to start on my new medicine and to replace my pacer.  AND  depending on what the pulmonologist says a catherization.

if any of these words confuse you just ask in a comment and I will tell you. :)

LOVE YOU ALL thanks for the prayers

Oh man! There's always something to add to the list, right? Glad to hear the ol' ticker is doing good! Now for those blasted lungs!

Oh, and I think I just have to let my baby cook for another week or two and I'm all yours, gender finder!

What the?? I didn't know you were having problems. Keep me posted and I will pray for my Hollzy.

Lots of people pay money to get oxygen at those oxygen bars. Maybe i can come over and get a wiff or two.. might help my brain cells.

Love ya girly.
