Doc and//or my daughter offered to explain things better if nned be. Pretty much got it for now.

Another ultrasound done on the heart and valves. They'll be running die through the valves early morning to confirm obstruction. Pumping it in through big vain in my hand.

They don't know for sure yet why it's week. The GF said not to to worry it procedure, even a weak heart is treatable. Well she's not worried about this part. Shoot have to go.

Hang in there Brew! 🙏 Wonder if there's a weird strain starting up? Damn it... I was hoping we were past that garbage. I had to take my Dad into the ER tonight.... couldn't help but notice that none of the staff were wearing masks anymore. I'd already decided I'm not getting anymore shots, but maybe I ought to reconsider.

Prayers up for you Brew!

Hey fellas , O2 is back up, thinking has improved a bit. Had a scare earlier, out of the blue heart spikes while at rest...O2 levels climbed, spikes dissipated.

Prayers are working.

Yea , I wasn't about to try and lay down again after my lungs gave out. I couldn't get any air into them from the time I left the bed until I struggled out the front door and for some reason or other jumped off our 3' porch. Landed flat on feet then down on one knee and received a little bit of air. With the help of a tree, began breathing enough to get somewhat functional. Had to jump up and down in order to improve that and continue to live.

That stuff in the lungs was pretty solid, but found some room in there where I could knock it around a bit. Yea, I don't understand it, never heard of such a thing...it saved my life though....got me to the Hospital. They did the rest.

My last covid test was 5 months ago. Not sure between then and now when I contradicted it. I also have another underlying conidiation, not very serious by it self and very treatable. However, when the two combined landed me here.

Still have a ways to go, but I think I'm on the mend. The organs have taken a big hit, I'll have to deal with that now. But yea...close one for sure.

Determining tomorrow whether heart surgery will be necessary or sending me home in a few days possibly with a therapeutics regimen to follow. Stress testing the heart...flow, valves and whatnots.

Anyway, sort of out of the woods for now.
