Very good news on one hand and not good news on the other.

My heart is really good. The echocardiogram came back really well. No problems likke that, but the tests for esophageal Ulcer came back very positive. He thinks that I was in so much pain that I might have put myself into like a meditative state, lowering my blood pressure. LOL LMBO I thought of Blair Sandburg and laughed. The doctor didn't see the humor in it. *grin* I'm thrilled for my heart being all right, but not happy about having to take more pills for the ulcer. *sigh* WEll, it's still better than a heart attack. I'm so relieved. Gosh, this has been a long damn week. Thank you all for your positive prayers and thoughts. :)

Hugs, Patt

An ulcer is definitely better than a heart attack. I had to grin at the fandom associations too, although I get why your doctor might not have been so amused.

I feel better just knowing that this is what it is. Now, I can get it under control and go on with my life. :)

An ulcer is most definitely better than having heart problems, Patt so yay for that. I must admit I grinned at the fandom association too :) Take care of you *hugs*.

Thanks, Beth. :)

I'm very relieved too! Can't have anything happening to you!!!!!

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I'm going to get healthy now. Eating better and all that jazz. :)

I am so glad your heart is okay! Ulcers are no fun, but in most cases manageable.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

He told me he's not surprised that I have an ulcer, but was surprised at how bad it got over time. Now with treatment, I'll do great. :)

I have ongoing ulcers from my surgery. They are along the incision. So when they flare up I get Prevacid. Seems to help.

So thrilled about your heart! And you can work on the ulcer! I would have thought about Blair too!! HUGS and take it EASY!!!

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

He told me to take it easy on the exercise until I feel 100% again. Geeze, I have to wait that long? LOL

Glad your heart's okay! Ulcers are more easily fixable, though still not something to take lightly. You be careful.

Thank you, Sheila. :)

In the grand scheme of things, ulcer so much better than heart probs. Well done for beating the medics and getting the right advice at last. I'm sorry you have had to go through such a worrying time, but the right knowledge helps you recover almost as much as treatment, I think, because you know for sure what you are fighting. Take your meds like a good girl ;) and take it easy too! :))

He told me to give up the exercise for two weeks and let my body heal up. So, I was a little disappointed with that. After all, I'm lost 28 pounds now and wanted to lose more soon. But, there is always two weeks from now. I must stop being so impatient. LOL

[unbelievable2.livejournal.com]

Gradual loss is better than quick loss, and when you restart your regime, your body will have that kick start and the weight loss will pick up again - promise! :))

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

I'm holding you to it. LOL

I'm so glad it's such good news - well, not good that you've got the ulcer, but yay for not having heart problems \o/ !

I hope the pills and potions sort out the ulcer quickly so you can get on with your life and having fun. Big hugs and much whoopeeee!

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Snail. I've been so happy since the news. I was worried. He said it'll take about a month or a little longer to heal it properly. I've got nothing but time. LOL

[grey853.livejournal.com]

So glad things are headed in the right direction.

Take care of yourself!! Good golly, ouchies.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Grey. :) I'll be right as rain in no time at all. :)

Thank you, S. I always needs love and hugs. :)

I'm sorry to hear you'll have to take more pills for your ulcer, but I am glad your heart's okay. {{{hugs}}}

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

In the grand scheme of things, this is going to be just fine. LOL I'm happy with this news.
