Hey

Post by BrownEyes » Sat Oct 30, 2010 6:01 am

Hey Everyone its me again BrownEyes

i have been very very very sick and busy since i have been here last.

geesh where should i start

i was hospitalized

April 1 - April 15 (Congestive Heart Failure, they took off 80lbs of fluid)

July 26 - Aug 5 (Congestive Heart Failure. they took off 30lbs of fluid)

Aug 11 - Aug 25 (Atrial Flutter) i had to have an TEE and a Cardiac Ablation

the cardiologist wants me on BiPap during the day (as much as possible) and still at night. right now i still wear my CPap during the day and still at night. i cant get the BiPap until i have another sleep study and the Doctor writes the order for it.

i am on Coumadin. i have to go once a week for INR blood check.

in the hospital i am on BiPap. i like the BiPap better but like i said i cant get one until i do the sleep study and etc. i found out that my CPap was just finally paid off by the insurance company so i hope they will approve the BiPap

i am tired but i am still hanging in there. one day at a time

Hi Brown Eyes,

I am not familiar with you, but bless your heart. You have been through the ringer and back, several times it seems.

Here's hoping you get your bipap quickly. Please take care of yourself.

Oh gosh, how awful for you... but do you feel any better for having lost all that 'weight' ? I hope you get better enough to ditch at least the daytime machine! Good luck.

Best wishes, brown eyes, sweetie.
My heart goes out to you.
Keep in touch. Just avoid the contentious threads--kids like to fuss at each other.

Next time you talk to the cardiologist, perhaps ask him if he thinks you could benefit from an "ASV" (adaptive servoventilation) machine.

Welcome back, BrownEyes.
Those repeated hospitalizations must have been tough. I hope you get your sleep study and the right machine for you soon, and that you'll be feeling better - one day at a time.

We're here for you - any day, any time!

Hi Brown eyes,

Im sorry you have been so sick.

I hope your sleep study goes very well, and you get your bipap.

I took one for spin, the malibu vpap, it was great..

I did some research and thought I would get this one below, but turns out I dont need it..

here is the link: I hope you get just what you want..
