CARDIAC CLINIC APPOINTMENT

On March 18th I had an appointment with cardiologist Dr. Abben.  Due to my abnormal EKG showing Left Ventricle Hypertrophy and my heart palpitations I felt it necessary to make this appointment.  My family doctor has not been able to get my high blood pressure under control and that is what leads to LVH. 

Dr. Abben ordered a holter monitor for me to wear for two days and I am to see him again on April 1st for an Ultrasound and a CAT Scan.

EATING BAR-B-Q

I was getting used to being a vegetarian but did still crave meat and seafood.   However, today was the first time in 2 years that I was able to enjoy eating meat.   I had to dip every bite of Applebee's riblets in sauce so it would go down easy but had no trouble swallowing.  Had mashed potatoes with it as well as cole slaw.  

I do still have trouble eating lots of different foods especially chicken.  Rice is still a big challenge.  I have been eating bread again as long as I dip it in tea or coffee I can enjoy it.

It appears that I have had an increase in my saliva production lately.  This is probably why I can swallow some types of meat more easily.  

I feel so normal today.   Yes, today is a good day.

Going camping tomorrow.
