No real news on the implant front! I had a meeting with Dr. Pocock this morning regarding a change or rather an addition to my medication list.
Apparently I left Dr. Novak's office on December 22 before they could give me a prescription. That, I found amusing because they told me to get dressed and leave. In the letter to Pocock they made it sound like I ran for the hills after being examined.
For those of you who are counting or wondering what and how many drugs I'm taking here's the current list.
Bupropion 150mg - 2x a day
Carvedil ol 25mg - 2x a day
Digoxin 0.25mg - 1x a day
Rampril 10mg - 1x a day
Lipitor 10mg - 1x a day
Warfarin 5mg - 1x a day
Spironolactone 12.5mg - 1x a day
Symbicort - as needed (inhaler)
Salbutamol Sulfate-as needed(inhaler)
Nitro-Dur 0.2- 40mg Patch released at .2mg per hour at bedtime
Vitamin B-50 - 1x a day
I thought of a question while I was driving into see Dr. P so I asked about possible side effects of these drugs on my Liver. He said my Liver should be fine. He also mentioned that the new Spironolactone will increase my Potassium level so now I have a standing order for that blood test as well.
This drug will counter some of the Potassium loss caused by the Lipitor .
That means I won't have to eat so many bananas.
That's a good thing because I had started dragging my knuckles on the ground and raising my hands over my head in a waving motion when I laugh.
