Well finally I've received some good news. I got a phone call 2 weeks ago from Ann with the LVAD team with results from the x-ray. Dr. Vega doesn't think we need to drain the left lung, and I will not see him again until July 25!! I'm only going to the coumadin clinic once a week now, so hopefully that will get all worked out for once a month visits. So far, the last two times, I've been within my range which have been 2.0 and 1.8. YAY!!
Last week was a really good week for me. It was my 8th week, and I started feeling like my old self again. I was sure I was going to feel better by week 5, because some of the other LVAD recipients talked about how great they felt around week 5. I was really starting to get frustrated, and when that happens, I go to the "feel sorry for me" place. I luckily didn't stay in that place long, and started to feel better by week 7. Now I feel amazing and feel like my old self again.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!! I will try to update this more often, so thanks for all your patients!! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th.
