Upcoming Chat Schedule

Hi everyone!  I finally have scheduled our chats for those of you that are interested in participating.  I also think it may be a good idea for us to have an idea of what the discussion topic will be about for those nights so if anyone has suggestions please post them.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone there

Ace inhibitors (or ARBs) are standard treatment for post MI patients. These medicines can cause the serious side effects of edema, or fluid retention. This tends to be chronic, but is an emergency for some who have just started this medicine.

I have had an MI, or heart attack but cannot continue to take these meds, until my cardio has a chance to convince me of their value in helping me (us) live longer!

I would like to hear Delta or anyone else that has found a better, but still as strong as Lasix, diuretic. I have not taken Lasix for long, but I seem to remember that it could affect your hearing. I do get good BP control with a beta blocker and Lasix, but my hearing seems off a tad (HUUH)

Just trying to help myself and in so doing, may help another :)

els, I'm so glad you set up another chat schedule. I missed alot of the last ones, so I'm hoping I will be able to come to these. I probably wont be here for july 3 because our anniversary is july 4 so I will be away. I don't know if anyone would be interested in this topic, but this is just a thought. I would'nt mind talking about how heart disease has changed our lives,as far as being limited in what we can do,etc. If you havent already discussed this the last time. Anyway, looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Great suggests RJ and Wanda, I have included them on the schedule.  Thank you!

 

Me too, I had company which is rare, lol.

Hey guys...I hope those of you that made it to chat had a nice one?  I'm sorry I missed it   .  I had alittle accident and ended up in the ER with a broken ankel and didnt get home until after 10pm.  Hope everyone is doing well...

Ahhhh Elisha, you didn't need that dear! I will be thinking about you and hoping all the pain goes away, and that you heal soon! Stay offf of it for awhile. Did it have anything to do with your BP, or the person you chose to ride with? I am being nosey, so don't answer that.

G-d bless,

Yo buddy Rj

 Hi everyone, i was so bummed out that i missed the last chat, now i am wondering who showed up, hate to admit it but i am sort of glad, i was feeling sad about not being there, great topic els, why don't you do that one again, maybe noone was there.  hope your doing better by now.later

 p.s. was there a lot of chatting about the ace inhibitors? i wanted in on that action too, did not know about the chat.

Thank you everyone for your concern.  Me breaking my ankle was rather stupid really, as I was carrying a computer and lost my balance and fell backwards...in my attempt not to drop the computer it ended up landing on my left ankle.  It did hurt pretty bad for the first few hours but then my leg went numb thankfully to my MS.  I have 2 small fractures of the ankle bone and have one of those really cute black boots they now give you to wear.  I also ended up with a 6 inch cut on my ankle from the computer landing on it so it wasnt my day...

I'm so sorry that you broke your ankle. Next time just drop whatever you have I was just going to pipe in to be careful, the numbness and pain not rearing it's ugly head can sometimes be great, but can also mask other problems. I sure you already know this. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Ah Elisha, I am so sorry to hear about how you broke your ankle. I think that has to do with the nature of your illness........? You need someone to help you with things like that! BTW how is your Mother doing? Fine I really hope.

Have a great weekend (sitting around with your bad leg propped up)....Rent a bunch of movies and pig out on popcorn and other junk, lol.

Rj

Thank you RJ,  Too sweet    I have been quite lazy the last few days.  Mom is doing very well her surgery is put off for a while as her cath showed that she didnt need it just yet, maybe next yr...which if fine with me...have a wonderful weekend!

My future son in law's Mother died yesterday. She was 51, a nurse and had taken the diet pill called phen-phen (sp?). It had damaged the valves in her heart. She was working up until she died. Her death came out of the blue. My daughter and grandson had just spent a week with her in Louisiana. She just fell in love with Sebastian, my 8 year old grandson, and he felt the same about her.

My daughter's fiancée is/was in Afghanistan. A chopper picked him up out in no man's land and he is headed home.

Take care of your Mother please. Damaged heart valves can take you at any time. It is a very, very serious condition. As you know, they can cause a blood clot at any time.

Say hello to your Mom for me and tell her this story. They are going to perform an autopsy. She was part of a class action lawsuit against the drug manufacturer.

Hope your poor ankle is being good and not paining you :) (that's hillbilly talk, lol)

Rj

It will be great to see you there!  hugs

 well Elisha, i let you down. for some crazy reason i thought the chat was on a tuesday and came down to post it and saw that it is tonite, went over there but noone is in the room  boo hoo. this forum has been a little slow lately, have not seen any of the oldsters. i am sorry   for myself as well as everyone else,  do not give up on me.    HEY, everybody, please try to make the next chat

 oddly enough i just tried to get on the chat site and i cannot get there by pushing the chat button. something is up, i was able to do it earlier, maybe it is jammed. huh??

hey dreamy...what happened when you tried to get on chat?

 

Hi everyone...Since we have only have one member interested in participating in scheduled chats at this time I am going to cancel the one for August 28 and hold off for any future ones.  If any of you decide you do want to have a forum chat night let me know and we can organize it or restart them...but at this time there just isnt enough people participating.  Thank You
