As some of you know Dee has had some heart problems the last month or so. She has had to wear a life vest (a wearable defibrillator) and also on enough meds to keep 3 Pharmaceutical companies solvent for the next 5 years. The life vest had to be worn 24/7 and has been a pain. It has wires, sensors, paddles and a 2 pound monitor that hands from a strap around her neck.
Well yesterday we had her check-up at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital and it seems the Drugs are doing their job and she is now off the vest. She will have to keep on the meds and in 3 months have a sonogram of her heart and if at that time the Meds are still doing their job no pacemaker will be needed, if not a pacemaker and maybe a defibrillator will be installed. We have hopes that all she will need is the Meds and a lifestyle change as she will at time over work.
