Doctor update

Wed, 10-20-2004 - 7:51pm
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

Hey I just got a second chance at life according to my doctor. Soooo, I have no fear!
Haaaaaaa haaaaa!
G/f wants us to do the quit buddy thing here so if you will, that would be good plus Pam mentioned wanting to quit when she got back from M&G so let do it!!
Anyone else that would like to try it would be nice to hear from too. I wonder if anyone else still smokes even.
Hugs Robin and thanks for all your support!!

Yes, but you said the wizard had another meaning to you too and you never said what it was. Or was I dreaming?
I do remember the voting booth silly.

Now, what in sam hill is going on with the ball game. We will be sick if the Yankies win this game.
I can't get WHO'S YOU DADDY OUT OF MY HEAD?

Hey Laurie! I think I'd like to join the "quit smoking challenge" you and nurse have going on. I'm thinking of going over to the "kick butt" support group on iVillage if I have time, I hear they have daily chats and all. So glad you're doing okay! Keep up with that working out hun. "take good care of yourself, you belong to us!"

LOL, Pay no attention to that man. Haaaaa haaaa
That's what I'll say on my way out of the booth.
I don't want to jinx the last inning but I think the Red Sox are going to do something that rhymes with pin.
Now I am curious, I want to hear some of you great wizard situations.
Can you think of some for me Lee.
Like after my Doctors' appt today I am the great and powerfull wizard of Oz.
Er... pay no attention to that man...
I love that part.
Hugs,
Laurie

Yayyyyy Sadie,
and thank you. Robin said the kick butt board is really good to visit so I will see you over there.
It sure will be nice to have company in this and thank you for your kind words.
Maybe we can all quit and live long enough to all meet IRL someday.
Hugs Sadie,
Laurie``````
