Got to leave today, but no resolution on my syncope, so I'm wearing a Zio Patch, which will record all my heart activity for 14 days. My current meds were also changed, no longer taking the Anti Platelet drug Plavix, as there is no reason to keep it as my stent has been in place for 3 yrs and has a coating of endothelials , which should not close, as well no beta blocker (my heart rate isn't that elevated, maybe low at night. For the next few days, using that anti-seizure drug, but no Aspirin as well due to the presence of the small blood bleed, but starting that back up in 10 days. My echocardiogram shows some degradation from the last time, but my heart attack then should have been a lot worse.
The Chest CT shows that my pancreas has an extension that is unexplained, maybe due to the trauma, so I get an MRI in 6 month. I'm not yet a full blown cancer patient, we'll see about the pancreas and the prostate.
I look at this journey this way, its nothing to get sad about, I just take care of it. My roommate at the VA hospital was only 35, with all sorts of auto-immune conditions that are causing severe pain and mobility issues. He was fit enough to start BUDS but had to go a different route, then this happened. He has a lot of Doctors on the case... the hospital is also a learning hospital for the UCSD Medical School. I'm giving Glen some Mojo as well.
