OT - Away

I won't go into details, but my doctor advised me to get to the ER ASAP.
I'll be away for a while and just wanted to let everyone know I'm not off in
a snit or anything.

We all hope they get you back together without incident and in a timely
manner.

Best of luck; that has to be a wretched situation.

Well, here's hoping that whatever it is can be fixed.

It's probably no consolation to you, but I suspect it's a case of
you being able to say to all of those quacks who've been treating
your symptoms but not the cause:

"I told you so."

First, I can't believe I'm back home already, I've never been to a hospital
ER so efficient (or maybe it was because of what was happening and my recent
history). I was having chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath, so,
having congestive heart failure I thought I ought to get my butt in. They
saw me right away, did EKG, echo, etc. Gave me some IV and oral meds,
changed the dosage on my Warfarin, got me stabilized, and sent me home with
instructions to get my butt in again at the sign of any more symptoms.
Whatever was going on didn't not worsen my heart muscles, so I guess I'm
good to go.

Thank you all for your concern.

So glad to hear this. I was worried about you.
By echo, do you mean echocardiogram?

Yes, it was an echocardiogram (which, by my experience at least, differs
from a regular only in the length of time they take (I guess they have to
factor out the heartbeats so need to look at it for ten times as long).
Here is a good article on it if you're interested -
http://www.heartsite.com/html/echocardiogram.html. They also did the EKG
and a chest x-ray.

They were able to determine that the blood clot in my left ventricle has
gotten much smaller since my last cardiac MRI (which is a *lot* different
from a regular MRI and takes 10 times as long with a lot more breath
holding).

One thing that expedited my stay there is that the this hospital's chief of
cardiology is my cardiologist and my PCP has privileges there so they had
easy access to all my files, prior tests and history. Since I'd *LONG* ago
passed my out-of-pocket limit, it was relatively painless and gave me a good
update on where my heart/clot is now (it's been a month or more since my
last visit which helped them track the rate of healing and dissolution of
the clot), and I'm hoping to be able to quit taking the Warfarin fairly soon
(and won't have to push away kneading cats when I've fallen behind in claw
clipping).
