Ok here we go again. My next Hypertension appointment is coming up at the end of this month. The doctor told me during the last appointment (about 3 months ago) that I will have to have another Heart Catherization because I can't have an MRI. I have metal in my body that makes it impossible for me to have an MRI. Lucky me. I don't know what it is about this next heart cath. I seem to be nervous about it. I'm already fretting over it. I told my husband and he said stop worrying about it. "Just ask for more Xanax," he said. Last time the doctor prescribed only ONE pill of xanax. HA! Lot of good that does because I was so freaked out about when to take it. I mean, if I took it too early, it would wear out before the preceedure. They aren't exactually punctual on when they start these things. Trust me. I've been through enough of these and major surgeries to know this about hospitals and doctors.

I think this time with the Heart Cath... I'd like to have someone to stay at our house to help take care of me and keep my husband company. I didn't bounce back as quickly or as well as I thought I would the first time. I think a couple of days will be good. The first couple of days, I had chest pain and my heart was skipping a lot. I was tired a lot the first couple of days and the fact that I had to ly flat for the first two days to prevent bleeding from the vein they used drove me nuts.

But now that I have my new laptop, I may just tinker around with it while resting in bed.
