There’s A Lot On My Mind

There’s so much to think about.  I’m trying to concentrate on the consequences of my recent Heart Attack.  So far, so good.

I am now taking the following medicines and supplementation: Ecotrin, Simvastatin, Altace, Plavix, Coreg, Abilify, Lexapro, Uroxatral, Proscar, Oxybutynin Cloride; Iron, Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin B-2, a Multiple Vitamin & Mineral, Milk Thistle, Dandelion, and Aloe Vera.  It’s amazing that I’m still alive!

I’m actually feeling generally better now than before the Heart Attack.  Today, I see Dr. Rudy for the first time since the attack.  I am mentally strong.  I expect to see Dr. Rudy not more than once every three weeks, starting today.  I must have my psychiatric medication managed; but frequent visits to Dr. Rudy are not necessary.   

This Friday, the 12th, I see Dr. Lorenzo Fitzig for the first time.  He is a Cardiologist.  I will learn more about my Heart Disease from him.  On the 17th, I am having blood work done for Dr. Frank, and will be seeing him again on 1/24/07.  I am doing my best to stay alive on my terms.

My Mom was shook-up by my Heart Attack; but she’s back to her happy self again.  Dora, too, despite her back pain, is basically happy; and my sister and me are on friendly terms.  I’m trying to be an Artist.Kiss
