I got out of the hospital Saturday afternoon. Had some tummy issues for a few days as the meds cleared my system. That seems over now.
My cardiologist paid several visits and I always enjoy talking to him. He's old school kind of doctor but modern in his knowledge. He reminds me a lot of a Dentist that visited us on the alps on weekends. He flat out told me, "you don't have a heart issue, who have a leg vein issue." The leg vein failure is giving the heart symptoms I am getting as it can't pump the water our of my legs to the kindness and less skilled doctors are not seeing the deeper issue. The good news its an out patient procedure and will direct the blood flow to where its should go.
Once the legs are fixed the heart situation is just conditioning like I did in Morocco and the alps with exercise. It's also possible the discoloration on my legs might go away too, which I have had since 2009. I just got back from a vein consultation appointment. Some sonograph work to be done at the end of the month to map out the damage in the legs, treatment obviously won't begin until after the new year.
The last three years have not made a lot of sense to me, diagnosis not matching the data, etc. But this make sense since my legs were damaged by sepsis in 2009. It makes sense there might be damage to some surface veins. Anyway I am greatly encouraged I might just be around for a while.
I have an immediate need for $50, and $200 by late tomorrow. The one donation I got yesterday just got swallowed by a copay and Rx that was unexpectedly high. I'd like to raise $700 or better. As it all flows.
I am going to focus more on the blog and ways to expand it, I think the way forward now is original writing, there is so much AI garbage being written. I think most of the doom scrolling material is AI generated.
I love you all!
