We had an appointment with a Slidell Cardiologist. Dr. B.
Nice, friendly staff, we were crazy about his Nurse Practioner, and we both very much liked him.
False alarm on the Left Ventricle. Doc said that it was a shadow. Thursday's Carotid Ultrasound was fine.
Here's something odd.... Dom's always been on blood pressure medication. Today, they had to take it 4 times. His pressure was around 80/45!
So, we're going to stop taking one of his 2 blood pressure medications, and return to Dr. B. in 2 weeks.
Man, this has been a ROUGH year. Thanks for all of the prayers and calls!

Just Got a Disturbing Phone Call regarding Dom
Dom has been feeling extremely lethargic for a few weeks. Dizzy spells and very little energy.
We went to our Dr. C. last week.
He sent us to a Cardiologist for a Nuclear Stress Test on Tuesday.
Dr. C's office just called to say that Dom had to get back to the Cardiologist. He has a blocked Left Ventricle. We have an appointment for next Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, we're having a Carotid Artery Ultrasound tomorrow.
I immediately did some quick research.

So.... Agent Orange quite possibly raised it's ugly head yet AGAIN.
