New Meds

Here is one of my main helpers and a slice of Merete. This picture was taken the day our new iMac arrived.



I was going to put up a more pertinent image but the new medication I'm taking makes me kinda dreamy and a bit more goofy.

It was interesting driving into town yesterday, felt like I was in a driving simulator. I am sure the effects will change after I have been on the medication for a while. I won't be driving alone or by myself anymore.

It is a new Beta Blocker. Here's the irony, my heart isn't beating as strongly as it should so they changed my meds. A symptom of poor EF is that you are short of breath. Guess what one of the side effects of this drug is......shortness of breath. So far no major effects, just this dreamy state and an inability to focus on things.

I think I've done pretty well with this post considering my concentration is hooped. Yes, to answer the imaginary question they will be putting in an ICD as far as I know. It is in the hands of Gods and Novack apparently. To describe it (an ICD) briefly, it's like an emergency brake for my heart. If my heart goes to fast it slows it down and if my heart tries to stop, this will kick shock my heart back to work and save my life.
