My 3 guys and the Hospital

Still in hospital.    Eric came to see me and bring Swedish cookies and chocolate moose and was with H here to talk about his assignments for the trip to Parker Island that he and Oskar and bean are planning…..only overnight Saturday.    Peter brought me a green smoothie later .
Plan to go home tomorrow.    Here’s part of the deal.  Bottom line:   The aggressive diuresis to dry me out did nothing for the shortness of breath but did make my head swirl.     So…. Another thing that didn’t work…. But not wasted as more is revealed.     Talking to one of these docs, we are reminded  there is a pulmonary part but don’t have an appointment yet.    This doc thinks the only other logical thing is  to fix the other leaky valve.  ( tricuspid).  The mitral clip working fine, but it’s being overwhelmed.     Frustrating to say the least.    Not quite ready to curl up with a bottle of oxygen, the idea needs to be pondered.   The world’s longest quest for a diagnostic answer. (seems to me anyway). Sometimes there are none. 
Stay tuned.  Thank you for listening….
