Granny's gone and done it again

MI? Well, I do feel bad for you. You are too young to be dealing with some of the things you are dealing with. I'm 72 and not dealing with them yet. Been through cancer, recently refusing the treatment, and dealing with high blood pressure, and you make me feel like I have it good.

 

[ValerieJ]

What is an MI?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

MI = heart attacks Ive had several. I have blockages in my legs, anurism but too small to operate on yet. Lots of different things.
Cancer isn't no little thing. Neither is HBP. Do you take meds for the HBP?

 

[ValerieJ]

Oh wow....why do you still smoke when you are having heart attacks? And I ask this as a previous smoker of 30 years. You need to take care of your self.

 

[ValerieJ]

I'm on 2 meds for BP, and currently seeing the pharmacist at my doctor's office to get it under control. The cancer is a different sort of story.

You have blockages in your legs??? And you didn't get your leg checked out??? You do have to have that checked.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

ohh they have been checked. I went to a surgeon that was supposed to stent them but right before they knocked me out I pissed the old geeser off and he didn't do anything to help me. I have a referral to go see another Dr but since all this has happened with Tom I put it off.

It seems to be a little more urgent since you are experiencing swelling in your legs. I know you love Tom and want to be there for him, but you can't be there for him if you're in the hospital. You really need to also take care of you!!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I intend to talk to his nurse tomorrow about respite care for him so I am able to take that time. It would leave Robert here alone too. Not sure I like that either. Depends on how long I would be in the hospital. Some maybe all of them is a same day thing and that would be fine but in the hospital for 2 days would scare me.
