i am just so sick of it all ! had to have the FIRST surgery cuz of my valve. then during surgery, they fix a different one. then ,not even a month later,fluid around my stupid heart. ever since that 1st surgery-BECAUSE of the stupid st.Jude's mechanical mitral valve,i now have to take coumadin everyday ,for the rest of my life !!!!!AND- there are certain foods i must avoid because they have vitamin K and that affects the coumadin...there is a test they do at the coumadin clinic. they prick my finger and put the blood on a strip that's already in the machine. it gives the INR-THAT'S the # we have to watch. broccoli,cauliflower,carnation instant breakfast,all have vitamin K. and damn it -i like cauliflower and broccoli ! and i have to go to stupid cardiac rehab and sometimes i hate it! and i don't know why! THEN-there's the pain in my incision. and taking the lyrica for it makes me spacy. AAAGGGHHH!!! hugs ! trish

i called monday to leave a message for my shrink-that i'm having trouble staying asleep. for some bizarre reason,he wanted to see me. so i went today. he had switched my clonazapam .05 mg at bedtime to lorazapam,.05 mg twice a day. so now the clonazapam is twice,same dose. AND he doubled my seroquel....that should do the trick! aint anxiety and panic attacks just soooooooooooooooooooo fun?! the weather her is BEAUTIFUL today. 70's,low humidity. so after i saw the shrink,i did a little bit of walking-it was nice ! so- tomorrow is rehab day.....i swear ,there are spots on my stupid incision that haven't healed. but i can't see them.....wires or sutures pushing thru? i think the kitties actually missed me yesterday-i had alot of errands. pandora was bugging me to play our game we play....not going into it-you cat owners can relate-LOL ! and ringo was following me around and rubbing on me ....at least they love me --of the occupants of this house.....HUGS TO YA ALL !!!!!!!! trish

I have a snake toy that your cat may like. I miss my Nana but she is with my ex-fiancee. The cat was a birthday present from me to her so it was only right she go with the ex.
My father was on Xanax for his anxiety.

The pain will last for quite a bit, but then you should start feeling better. I know it did with my dad. He can do things these days he couldn't do 10 years ago.
Take care.
HUGS!

Sorry that you have had a bad time lately. I can somewhat understand what your going through since my dad has heart problems. He isn't a candiate though for heart surgery, he has to take heart medication.

trish coumadin is a very scary drug but if they don't keep a check on it it can really mess you up! i know it all sucks right now and i am so sorry you are going through all of this. please know anytime you need to vent or cry or what ever i am here for you. you know i am going through alot of the same things but sometimes it helps me just to scream! love you and please hang in there!

Hummmmm.....cauliflower and broccoli....well, i don't like cauliflower cause it doesn't like me, but me and broccoli are best friends so I would definitely miss that!
Remember when you get to the end of your rope to tie a knot and hang on!
And don't feel bad about the treadmill..I started out the same but ended up doing 25 minutes & five miles total. And I KNOW I am out of shape!!! LOL
Take care.
