Dinner tonight

I didn't cook for us tonight. I didn't feel like making anything fancy. But I was craving something cheesy, buttery, and with ranch dressing. So I made 2 cheesy buttery English muffins and 5 GF Dino nuggies dipped in ranch dressing. It was delicious! I used queso quesadilla cheese on the English muffins. It was so good. Exactly what I needed.

Except

It was very salty. My feet, ankles and legs are going to swell up tonight and now I don't have anything to make it go down. I'm kinda worried. I gotta figure out when I can go to binsons for compression socks. I could have gotten them today when I was at the hospital but I was in so much pain after lunch and just wanted to go home. I asked pauley if she was mad at me for not doing it today and she said no she was glad I didn't push myself.

Currently I am sitting on the couch with pauley with my leg elevated and shes organizing our meds. I'm exhausted. I went to bed at 6am and woke up at 8am. I should go to bed early tonight.

New meds

I got the new meds that my cardiologist wrote. It's called diltiazem. Tomorrow I drop my losartan to 25mg for one month. I am really hopeful.

I have the ultrasound of my heart next Wednesday. The follow-up appointment is on Valentine's Day. I'll get the US results before the appointment so I can do research if I need to.

I really like my cardiologist. She's very nice. On the paperwork I filled out there was a section for preferred pronouns. I told them right away I'm trans and go by the name Nox. They were so accommodating and considerate.

Ok

I've got my alarm set for 8am so I can shower in the morning to get ready for my appointment with the new cardiologist. I'm getting picked up around 930am. The appointment is at 1030am. I'm very optimistic. We have a spreadsheet for all my meds and a chart of the last 2 weeks of my HR and BP. I'll be very curious to see if I've lost weight after taking lasix for the last week. Wish me luck.
