Cathy Ramsey? If so then YES! LOL We are getting his blood draw at the Comprehensive Care in Pearland though, to save us a drive into Houston tomorrow.
That's her! I self test a couple of times a month, so just report my result monthly, or if it's out of range, I let them know in between. My PCP is at the Pearland facility and I did PT there after ankle surgery. Convenient to Sonic for my Route 44 Diet Dr. Pepper!
 
my husband scooted under the car to help my son place the jack because my son didn't know how
if he buggers up the sternum (and he's already in a situation with a less than ideal sternum) and the joint fails he really won't like the outcome.

It involves
  • reopening him
  • spread the sternum enough to allow access
  • abrade both sides again
  • close with fresh wires
there is increased risk of infection.

My friends father had this and then got a second go at it because he got a golden staph infection requiring a third opening.

But hey, he's free to do what he wants. Fafo Illuminatio Mea.

You are preaching to the choir.

Which facility did you do Cardiac Rehab at? I don't see one in Pearland...

I had my one cardiac rehab session at Houston Northwest because that's where I was working in 1998. Because of pericarditis, I had to stop, and by the time it resolved, I was past the cardiac rehab window. I could have appealed, but I was pretty active with two young kids, so really didn't need it. In my opinion, it most benefits those who are older, out of shape, and/or not willing to be reasonably active on their own.

Would you want to perhaps go get coffee one day? ;)
 
Just let me know when you have some time. You work Monday through Friday, right? I am off work through next week, but then I go back to rotating shift work, so I have a couple weekends off a month.
Yes, Monday - Friday, in Lake Jackson Monday, Wednesday, Friday and in Houston Tuesday and Thursday. I could meet you somewhere on my way home from Houston or I'm available most weekends, so just let me know what works for you.
