Good News for Friends and Family

 


I had my annual cardio check up this morning with Dr. Garret H. Brown of Heart Specialists of Sarasota.

The checkup included an EKG.I came through with flying colours!

My blood pressure; pulse rate etc. are exactly where they should be.

I took with me the seven containers of meds which I take every day. 

 My question was "why do I take these meds; why do I need them?" Dr. Brown marked each container with the reason for their use. Now I know why I am taking the various meds.

He noted that a necessary Statin med had fallen away and immediately ordered fresh supplies.


He also suggested that I should/could cease to take one of the blood thinners.

Ole   Now I do not need to use every med every day.  (Perhaps) no more blood on my leg.

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
