More Medical Testing

I finally received some of my new medication in today's mail. Metoprolol Tartrate (Brand Name: Lopressor) 25 mg -- Take one-half tablet by mouth twice a day for heart/blood pressure. Simvastatin (Brand Name: Zocor) 10 mg -- Take one-half tablet by mouth at bedtime for cholesterol. I'm still waiting for Niacin, which will also be taken at bedtime for cholesterol. I have questions about drug interactions and won't start taking anything new until I'm certain. For one thing, I'm on a current regimen of Lisinopril for high blood pressure and low-dose aspirin for heart health.

I Found Out By A Fluke

I've spent a considerable amount of time writing this and trying to find the right words. I'm not sure I would start Thursday over if I could, unless I knew the results of the day would turn out differently.

On Thursday, July 14, 2011 I received what for me has been the worst news of my life. It was both devastating and shocking to me, and I spent most of the day bawling my eyes out. I'm too old to be a big crybaby, but I did it anyways. I simply couldn't hold back. Now I'm contemplative, fearful, and perhaps a bit paranoid. I'm really tired and worn out from thinking about it. I know I will have lots of research to do and questions to write down and ask my new medical team.
