they did another echo this morning. he said even he could see it was bad and he doesnt have a clue about what to look for. another angio tomorrow. if things dont pick up then a LVAD may be needed.

he is no way fit enough for a transplant right now.

hope your dh gets better soon misdee. lots of positive vibes for you guys.

lilibet · 21/06/2005 21:28

Sorry to be dim, but what is an LVAD? REally hoping and praying that his health imroves and that you keep finding the strength to go on

LGJ · 21/06/2005 21:29

Misdee so sorry to hear this,

If it is any consolation I have struggled with the heat, last night DH got a bit of a fright, I went to put my shoes on to eat supper on the patio and my feet were so big that the only things that fitted were my slippers.

I had to take a double dose of Frusemide, which did the trick, piddled like a pup, but the down side was that I was having out of body experience feelings this morning.

So, whilst poor Peter is in a worse place than I am,what I am trying to say is I know the havoc the weather will be playing with his heart.

Not sure this will help, but it made sense whilst I was typing it IYKWIM

Much love

LGJ

noddyholder · 21/06/2005 21:39
