I'm getting more scared.

Ok...this is whats going on. I think I can remember. The day before and yesterday, my body was swelling again. I had gained another 10 pounds! I have been in my bed, trying my best to get the swelling down. And the pains of everything else I have going on as well. Yesterday was a pretty bad pain day for me.
My doctor had called me to let me know that she got me in to see my heart doctor. Well...mine left the practice so she got me in to see a doctor in the same practice. I think it's the one that my best friends moms sees. Dr. Czajka. (Sounds like Sycka) It's this morning at 8:15! Yesterday when my nurse came, I told her about my appointment for today. She told me that that doesn't really happen...meaning to be able to get in that place this fast! Oh Geesh! I just froze! She said that I must not be doing good for them to get me in so fast like they did!
I'm scared. I know I'll get through this, it's just a bit scary for me! Well...a lot really!
Also today is when someone from Legacy comes to check the air in my blood. I think thats what it is. Thats after my appointment. Whew! Then my physical therapist! I highly doubt that he will be able to do much today with my body swelling again. But, thats ok too.
Oh....I also printed out a few of those pictures I took of my legs, face and feet. I hope it helps.
I need to go. I woke up shaky again...and electricaly feeling again today. Meaning that I have the feeling of being shocked and it makes me shake! The shocking has gotten worse and everytime I get the 'volt' (lack of a better word), my body jumps and it makes me make sounds from my vocal. At first it kind of scared me, now I just laugh, because some of the sounds are pretty funny! lol I have no idea whats doing it, but it makes me laugh. :o)
Please, if you will keep me in your prayers. I appreciate it tremendously.
Bye........................

'Shocking' is a symptom for some from Effexor antidepressant.  Do you happen to take Effexor? Blessing to you always.

Gaining 10 lb is not good Lisa. Sounds like the Lasix isn't doing the job at all. Good luck with the appointment, keep us posted.

Sending up prayers for you. I am pretty sure the odd noise coming from your throat is water buildup in your lungs pushing the air out. At least that was what a nurse told be about my mother when she did that many years ago. I pray that the new doctor can get this under control. Hugs, Helen

Lisa,
Sorry to hear you're not doing well, but hope this new Dr will be able to get you back on track. The nurse shouldn't have scared you, it wasn't her place to say that to you, perhaps the Dr just had a opening from another patient canceling, who knows. :) Cheer up, keep faith & hope.
Will keep you in my prayers, going to light a candle too.
Hugs,
Sugar

Lisa, somehow we lost touch, that saddens me and I hate to see that things are not getting better. I'm sorry we lost touch, I will try to be a better friend to you this time around.
Much Love
Angie
And even though we haven't been as tight lately, I want you to know I'm never far away from you. You ever want or can have that massage you know to let me know, it's on me.  Anything else you need, I'm a drive away.

Oh yes, Lisa, I will certainly keep you on permanent prayers.  I know how scared and worried you must be, but to laugh at something in the middle of it all, that is great!  You are such a character, finding humor in everything, someway to enjoy your predicament and life the least little bit.  That is why you are an inspiration and so worth the getting to know you even though it scares me too as you describe your symptoms.  I am sure the doctors will be able to help you who are experts at this, so you will have to have faith in them.  Gerry
