So good to be off the heart monitor!



Yesterday was my final day, and hubby downloaded the last transmission today and took the monitor back to Carolina Cardiology. I'm glad to have had it, so that we could figure out what the issue was, but it was so awkward trying to remember to carry it with me to the rest room, since it did not hook to my waistband as they said it would, but kept falling off. And the area where the pads were stuck on me got sore, which apparently happens to a lot of people.

I get to go visit my cardiologist in 3 weeks, by which time we will have some things to discuss, as in my feeling better on the Eliquis, and whatever things he has to tell me based on the 30 days of monitoring.

He also bought a new (to us) washer, which we will collect on Friday, from a local electronics business.  Our old one died a death, so will be going to the happy hunting ground of washers.

I guess my weight loss is becoming more noticeable - hubby said my pants and drawers were droopy on me now, ha ha! Well, as long as they aren't falling down, I'll keep wearing them. I hate wasting money, and since I only go out of the house once or twice a week, who's going to see me in my droopy drawers? Possibly my granddaughter if she comes to bring my great-grands to see me, or my friend Dimple, when she comes to clean ... other than that, I don't really get visitors.

52lbs gone at last weigh in a couple of weeks ago, but I only weigh at the doctor offices so have to wait until my next visit to find out what I've lost since. I do love my Sparkpeople site though, it definitely helps me to keep track of everything. I even added my meds as "foods" so that I can mark them on my daily tracker, as I take them. That's very helpful, as I am forgetful now and hated double thinking "did I/didn't I?" as far as taking my drugs.

We had a rainy day today, but it passed through quickly. The cooling down was an added benefit!

Hope you've all had a good day. Enjoy your evening.
