Hey, thought I'd take a moment to peek in and give anyone who was keeping track an update....
Lessee... After a wild and wooly fight between me, my PCP and my cardiologist, I now have a new PCP... Long story short, my old primary care physician (actually, the group practice manager) dumped me from their service. I talked to the doc, he was apologetic to some degree, but still, I was NOT a happy camper and neither was my cardiologist.
After several months of hunting, I found a new PCP AND, on my first visit, for an introductoy physical, she decided she would look at my nagging acid reflux cough instead, the one I've had since I had my valve replacement in '03 (by the way, my fourth anniversary was last week.)
She put me on Nexium.
Ahhhh.... FINALLY!!!!!!
I've been trying this for ever and she hands me a bag of sample pills and a scrip for more. I have to get bloodwork and some other stuff to confirm or rule out stuff, but she put me on the stuff right away. I like her.
We still have yet to spend a night in the hosue we bought in September, 2005. Another long story but it's fit for Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and so are we, but we're trying to work it all out ourselves.
Still at the paper as a reporter, still a volunteer firefighter, still an EMT and I added "occassional" status as a part-time "ambulance driver" (they hate that) for the local commercial ambulance service.
Good stuff. Still kicking tushy and taking names.
Take care all, I'll pop in another time when I have more of it, soon....
