Jeanette,
I got in trouble with DH just yesterday because I didn't tell him that I had chest pains in the upper right part of my chest but no tingling, sweats, tingling or shortness of breath that would make me think I was having another heart attack. However, I did take my BP and it was HIGH. I took another Vastotec and went to bed. Yesterday morning, took my BP and it was lower than the night before but still high so I took a Vasotec and tried to put it out of my mind. Yesterday afternoon, though, I asked my mom to keep it in her prayers and she urged me to call the onc to see if maybe it was chemo related. I then had to confess to her that I hadn't told DH about it and that I had to do that first. Man! He didn't say anything other than "Go ahead and call the onc and see what she has to say" but his look said '
STUPID.
Onc said this far out from the infusion she didn't believe it was chemo related and, since I already had heart problems when I was diagnosed, to call the cardiologist and see what they think. Left a message and waited all evening and most of the day to hear back from them and then left for Paris to see the Princess and get some groceries (in that order
). Saw on my caller ID they called about 5 minutes after I left the house.
I may be looking for a new cardiologist...
I realized I just didn't want to deal with yet another health thing and so I didn't. Yeah, I know -
STUPID. I just get so danged tired of it being one thing after another and it's been like that now for YEARS.
Hopefully, we'll both get out of the doghouse and bay at the blood moon!
God bless ~
