Doctor's Visit

I have been having a hard time breathing - the Doctor was worried, so I went in today.

In the past 6 weeks, I have gained 20 ILBS, for an all time high of 325. My waist size increased 4 inches. The constriction my pants put on my torso is part of what was making it hard for me to breathe.

I had an eeg test today, and urine/blood work. EEG showed that the irregular heart beat is back - called Trigemeny - 3 beats when there should be only one. I had this in 2006, after Karen died. It could be a precursor to a stroke. We are going to do a sonogram of the heart. I had one done in 2006 - it revealed nothing. What we are looking for is weakened heart valves.

I am constantly fatigued. I feel air hunger all the time. I move really slowly.

We are also going to do an oxygen test (I forget the name), where I wear a n oxygen monitor all day, and it records my oxygen level all day.

I am having cravings for sweets again.

I love our puppy, even though she turns my world upside down
