First of all, I want to apologize for not keeping everyone updated on what is going on. I've been feeling really down lately and had pretty much shut everyone out.
I did go to Boston and did not get the answers I was looking for. I wanted solid answers and all we came up with seemed to be more questions. We have exhausted the cardiac meds route because my blood pressure will not tolerate even the smallest of doses. They did find out that the episodes were not causing any long term damage at this point. So, we are just going to try and treat the pain. They are really going out on a limb and trying anything that could possibly work. We are going to try and get me set up at a pain clinic to see if we can find a way to keep the chest pain at bay.
We did discuss heart transplant but my EF with my Pacer is at 55% so it is not an option. At least not right now anyways.
We also agreed that my current position at the hospital was too hard for me. So I've been out of work for a while now. I am supposed to have a meeting on Monday to discuss this and what my options might be. Hopefully, we can find a secretary position for me. I got a call back from the cardiac floor with my hospital and I have an interview next week.
I went to school to discuss getting reimbursed for my tuition because I didn't even make through the first week of school. The school bluntly told me that the only way I would get any reimbursement is if I were in the military or I had died. I thought that was pretty calloused but that is the school system for ya.
I'm still fighting the effects of that darn flu vaccine. I just wonder how long it's going to last!
