Lone Wolf, Ok | Well, when the issue arose, I was lucky enough to have some 'contacts' that put me onto compression stockings - and the 'hose lady' gave me a contact for a vascular doctor -- and i got lucky that there was a cancellation which allowed me to have an appointment in less than 3 months (IE - yesterday)
Boy was I impressed
Oklahoma Heart Hospital - most professional run place I've ever been to - Valet Parking (LOL - I didn't use it) -- Prompt, Courteous, Reception Staff - Nurses that understood, why tell them your story when DR needs to hear it -
Dr was Raha Nael - Excellent -
She listened -- and absorbed -- Everything
She gave me a plan for resolution -- and we discussed all directions/ ideas as 2 intelligent people should
In my Case -- Since they found heart blockage -- Start there -- but many other factors possible --
Bladder
Lower Back
Hormones
Sleep Apnea - (I've been a patient on CPAP since 2010)
She has ordered a LE Venus Duplex -- Ultrasound of the valves of the veins
And gave me a prescription for next level support hose -- TBD how that goes - (LOL)
I had realized the night before that nobody had ever looked at T levels. --
So since Hospital had gotten extra blood in case cardio wanted anything, I called GP - they ordered the test.
Now have also called and hope to set up the back X-Ray -- I don't have pain (but I've got lots of water for cushion) - so who knows?
Since I'm off the Super Charged Diuretics for till Angiogram is done, I'm kind of concerned that I will add the water back.
Luckily, since we got 5" of rain on our all ready saturated ground, not really much going on here on farm -- (2 sand farms may need to be sprayed soon - Easy work - I hope)
I'm tired of carrying around this xxxxxx -- Water
