Hi Brenda 715,
I will keep you posted, my internal meds doctor are in a special clinic and appointed by the hospital. The clinic is the ACC which is the "Ambulatory Care and Transplant Clinic". I have just been assigned my new doctors and was surprised that all 4 wanted to meet me. I'm still a listed transplant candidate because of my rare blood type.
I take 11 to over 20 pills a day depending on how I'm doing and I'm just thankful that I have them to take and not have to run to the hospital. And I'd like you to keep me posted as to how you're doing.

Hi Robin It is so good to hear from you. I am doing fine just a little tired and less energy today. I did go to the gym this morning. It seems to give me more energy. I am having Migraine headaches again. It seems like they are triggered by bad weather, like the recent hurricane even though we, in Alabama, didn't have nearly as much rain like Louisianna, just the barometric pressure changing so much. My Migraines had gone away after my triple bypass surgery in April 22 and the dr. placed me on a beta blocker, Metoprolol, which I read later was good for Migraines. But for a 75 yr. old lady I am doing very well. I am blessed.
I am glad to hear that you have some good doctors that are taking good care of you. Please post us and let us know how you are doing. You are in my thoughts and prayers my Friend. I hope you have a restful night and a good week. Take care of yourself and may God bless you.
Robin, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know how you are doing.
