Health Issues

  Back in early May 2026, I started having health issues with A-Fib, pneumonia and potassium was low, I was in the hosptial a few day and came home and was back in the hospital again the end of May. A few doctor were set up to go see. The new heart doctor called in a A-Fib doctor, a kidney doctor, a lung specialist, a gastrologist and a neurologist. 

My new A-Fib doctor wanted to do an Ablation and Watchman on me when I went to see him, June 2026 but he said there was 1000 ahead of me. As my health continues to declined he updated my three procedures and tried to do them August 3, I was on the operating table after they put 40 cold patches on me and started putting me to sleep, they had to stop, pink froth was coming from my lungs, I had flash pulmonard edema, I was drowning in my own fluid. I was admitted in the hospital and put on strong lasix and potassium. in three days I lost 15 pounds and was released from hospital. From August 6 to August 23 I was 20 to 40 mg of lasix and potassium. on August 24th I went to the hospital for my procedures. After the abalation and watchmaan I was sent home that evening. 

On top of everything going on with my health, I have 3b chronic kidney disease. And it has reared its ugly head and has started bothering me with itchy skin, and my glusose, Co2, bun, creative and potassium is either low or high. My eGFR started out in May in the 50 and now is 30. If it goes down to 15 I will be on dialysis. 

At this time I need to start getting rid of all of my die cutting tools and rubber stamps. 

What's New with Me!

 My health continues to go south, May 8-10, 2026 I wasn't feeling well and I ended up in the hospital with A-Fib pneumonia, and asthma. after coming home I still didn't feel well, I woke up with A-Fib having strong heart palpitations all morning til i told my family to take me to the emergency, May 28, 2026. the diagnose was low magnesium levels, basic metabolic panel, CBC auto defferential, magnesium, NTproBNP, TSH, Troponin. Imaging test; ECG 12 leads, Trans thoraic Echo (TTE, XR cjest 1 view. And then released early evening. 

I've seen several new doctors from May 28 --  August 5, 2026, my new Oklahoma Heart Hosipal, Breathe Oklahoma and Integris doctors are: heart doctor,  A-Fib doctor, lung doctor, kidney doctor, neurologist doctor and gastrologist doctor. 

The A-Fib doctor said I need an ablation and watchman, it was suppose to happen August 3, 2026, they were about to put me out but then I started breathing pink froth so they aborted the surgeries. I stayed in the hospital four days during that time they stretched my throat with a balloon in hopes that I can eat without getting chocked. Comments from doctor: tortuous esophagus dilated with TTS balloon. Update: Abaltion and watchman has been recheduled from August 24, 2026. 

During all of this my terrible headaches has never left me. I would like to wake up with no headache. Since fall of 2014 not one day has gone without a headache of some sort. I've been diagnosed with Cluster headaches, Trigenial Neurolgia, Auro Migraines, Migraines, sinus headaches, and one headache that effect one side of my head including half of my nose, half of my lip, half of my teeth and one eye, half of my head. During those headaches my face feels cold. 

Nothing in the way of medication seems to help. I tried Botox from 2014-2021and it didn't help. 

I'm 80 now, I hope I made it through this surgery. if not I have lots of crafting supplies someone else with get to play with. I should have sold it all by now. My mind wants to get back in doing craft projects but my body says not now.
