Cindy RN Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Well I now have an apt. with the cardiologist-one I have worked with many times in the past so I trust him. The apt is April 2 I believe. I suppose we will discuss the options then. I will say this thing is making me much more short of breath than I am used to. I still can do things around the house cooking etc. I DO NOT clean anymore! That is one chore the girls have taken over. Just one more hurdle. Thank you all for the notes and pms. I love the support I get from here. IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

Elaine Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Cindy, Whew, a plan in place; that's good AND with someone you trust. You posted last week ab out the downsides to being a nurse and being ill, but the up side is you kinda have an inside track on the drs to trust. So that's a good thing. Thinking of you and senidng many good thoughts your way. Can I borrow those girls for some cleaning.? Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Daughter of Bill Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Wishing you the best!!! I have two daughters.........not sure if I could get them to clean under ANY circumstance!!! Just sit back on the sofa, prop your feet up, and bark out those orders!! Seriously, I have been thinking of you and hope that this cardiologist can get you back to normal! Prayers from Alabama!

Deanna M. Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I am praying for you Cindy. I hope this doctor can help you get some relief. I am so glad your daughters are helping you. Is the pericardial effusion cancer related? Sorry if I missed this posting some where. Praying extra hard for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerbil runner Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Tough way to get out of housework! Seriously, though, hope the cardiologist can get you your energy back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm glad you are going to be seeing a cardiologist, Cindy. I just wish that you could get in there before April. I'm keeping all movable body parts crossed that they have a good easily implemented course of treatment that makes breathing easy for you.

Guest Karen C Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Cindy - hang in there. April 2 sounds like a long time away! We, thankfully, haven't had any experience with this. Dave did have a small amount of fluid around his heart and his lung but nothing like what you're going through. They just left his alone. I've been meaning to tell you - for months - that you remind me very much of a old friend of mine who is about our same age and is also named Cindy. God Bless you, Karen C.
