Doc appointment with Dr. Jeff (my friend) went really well. We talked about the injury and my last scans I had and how the dissecting aneurysm is still there but right now it’s somewhat small - so even though I have gone to see a neuro interventionist, the best option for us is to keep a watchful eye on this sucker. I think I should name it. How about I name it Lump? Remember that song?? Obviously my aneurysm is female:
She’s Lump
She’s Lump
She’s Lump
She’s in my head…
She’s Lump
She’s Lump
She’s Lump
She might be dead.
Ever since the injury my blood pressure has been wacky, so Dr. Jeff is keeping me on the beta blocker (other doc wanted me off of it ASAP - but then again, he was also the one who prescribed Lexapro for the crazies that I did not have…Dr. Jeff said anxiety is a natural side effect of having a very scary medical experience). Anyway. Yes. Beta blocker plus he’s doubling the dosage of my ace inhibitor - look at me with all my medical speak! Bottom line, more meds now and he tells me that these meds can be simplified down the road so that I don’t have to take medication twice a day…but that I will probably be on medication for the rest of my life.
Such is life, eh?
Guys, I’m still thrilled to be alive. Every. Freaking. Day.
I remain gratefully,
GS
