waiting...
I see the pulmonary hypertension specialist a week from Monday.
Meanwhile, I am trying so hard to stay positive and occupied.
I am crafting like crazy- fall wreath, crocheted candy corn, crocheted dog sweater...
But I am crazy scared...
Pulmonary hypertension is a really bad thing to have.
My primary care doc said to avoid exertion.
I don't know how to do that when the tiniest things feel like exertion to me.
Taking a shower exhausts me.
I can't lift the crockpot, or take out the trash, or hold the dog's leash when he tugs.
Everything makes me winded.
I took almost everything out of my purse, so that I could carry it.
And the clot is gone. Both the CT w/contrast and the V/Q scan show that.
I should not be feeling this bad.

I hate that you feel this poorly and hope you get some answers! In the meantime, take care of yourself the best you can.
Hope you improve and am so sorry you are having all these problems from the PE.
Hope things improve soon. Let us know the outcome of the Dr, appt., meanwhile do what YOU have to do to make YOU feel as good as YOU can.
Thanks JEB2007, Dixiemom, and dero.
Dero, good questions.
I am doing a lot of crafting, enjoying my dog, had my niece and nephew over yesterday to make halloween cookies... I am reading silly books and watching movies. I am doing my best to stay entertained and not get down.
Thanks.
I am really thinking of you and praying for you. Keeping occupied is the best way to deal with things...I do the same thing. I really hope that you find answers and a way to successfully treat whatever you may have. Take care, Nancy
