Doctor update

Although I failed my stress test they do not believe that I am in actual heart failure.
I am very unconditioned and not getting enough oxygen from all my smoking.
They believe that I do have symptoms but no abnormalities in my heart. I have to quit smoking and get better conditioned and they believe that I can reverse my condition.
I still have to wear the anti embolisim stocking for now until my sweeling and redness goes away from my legs.
Anyway it sounds like I am going to live as long as I quit smoking and get regular excersise at least for awhile.
After I get in better condition I can have my surgery.
I am so happy! She sent me home with baf full of patches and wants me to be on them and quit smoking by Thanksgiving.
I have also lost 24 pounds from my diet and excersising since my stress test 2 weeks ago.
I was doing the cabbage soup diet.
So it works.
G/F HAS TOMORROW OFF!!! We have been working out together every evening and she is going to quit smoking with me. Doctor say's they thought I had heart failure and to look at this as a second chance.
Maybe all the people who have been praying and the churches have helped.
I just cannot find the words to describe how relieved I am. I am beginning to feel undistructable! Haaaa, you can't touch this!!
Hugs to all,
Laurie

Well, I'm glad to hear you are listening to the Doc and doing so well. Kuddos to you! :)

Personally, I couldn't date a woman who smokes. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. And, I'm allergic to cat hair. Don't get me wrong, cats are fine. But, if I touch one and then touch my face, it is all over but the scratching and red eyes. LOL

Dogs that shed do not bother me. Go figure.

Working out! Wow, I wish you and your girlfriend were living close to me. I could use some workout friends. Only men want to be my workout friend. LOL But, they eventually want something I'm not willing to give over. LOL

So, there we have it. rj cannot date women who smoke, have cats, or try to shoot me up with penicillin. LOL

Okay...here I go. LOL

All this time I thought ~S~ stood for the first letter in your partner's first name. I have been spending all this time trying to imagine her first name. LOL So, this truly must mean that I'm a lesbian virgin. Or, that I'm stupid. Or, BOTH. Don't tell me which, okay! LOL

Okay, it is time for my workout.

signed,

stuck on stupid LOL aka acronym deficient

I will have to say, I am not sure why the wizard hat. I heard them mention wizards talking about the Red Sox earlier but not sure what they were saying.
Can you tell me why the wizard hat or do I have to guess again.
I am waiting....
