today was a double dose of office visits. first to Dr Romero, where the cumiden level was checked and found to be perfect at 2.5. next check in about a month. Blood pressure reading was 154/91. They will relay this info to Dr Romero who will change the medication if he deems it to be necessary.
Then off to Dr Limeres office, where we filled out all the pertinent patient info for them. We now have a GP to go to for any future situations.We talked to his assistant for a while. He could not get a BP reading with his automatic machine, so did it the old fashioned way. Manually, he got 148/70, which is better than most, though still higher than we like. He explained that the arrithmia(?) causes the device to stop when beats stop, then starts again when the beats reappear, causing the device to read higher than it should. this makes sense. After talking with Dr Limeres for a while, he issued a prescription for water pills, and blood tests. Next visit, next Friday. The visits were not as productive as we had hoped, but at least we now have several people trying to help us.
For the moment I guess the heart is more important than the knee, but the knee continues to improve, and I am very close to putting weight on it.
