Hello all my FS friends. I just got out of the hospital, I had an AFIB episode. My heart rate kept spiking and when they tried to fix that my BP went dangerously low. They finally came up with the cocktail of medicines that eliminated the spikes as well as maintained a normal BP. I am very grateful to the staff of the hospital, they worked day and night. I am so very happy to be home now and feeling so much better. Please don't take a day for granted because you never know if you will get another. Take care and God Bless.

gaining 2.8 lb a week

This weight gain is due to water retention. Since my heart was not working properly I started to retain water. I actually shed a couple of tears when I weighed in and discovered I had gained over 10 lbs. in just a few days. I have cankles! Presently I am on a reduced sodium diet (2000 mg per day) and fluid reduction (2L per day). It will be a wild ride but I am up for it. I don't want that experience again so I will do what I must to prohibit it.

Thank you Shirl, it was. Unfortunately the drama is not over but I am not dwelling on it. I believe with the team of doctors I have and the grace of God I will make it through this crisis.
