Much easier day today!

We tried to watch the home run derby last night, only made it to the end of the first round and didn't see who won the bat off! Both of us slept much better last night and felt more rested this morning.

Our first stop today was with the infectious disease doctor. Bill has to repeat the Hepatitis B shot. Apparently the ones he had from Memphis didn't take because his blood work did not sho any antibodies. Not a major problem and it can be done after we get home.

Since we had 3 hours to kill we came back to the hotel to do some research on medications and just rest. But on the way back our coordinator called and said there was a change in the schedule. Bill was supposed to have his treadmill test this afternoon, but the dr. decided that he wanted to have all of the other tests done first, especially his device check, so that has now been scheduled for Monday. And, our appointment with the nutritionist that was scheduled for next Tuesday was now scheduled for this afternoon. So, Bill could relax because he was really stressing over the treadmill.

We saw the nutritionist and she was very pleased that we were already following a basic healthy heart diet, especially low sodium. After that we saw our nurse practitioner and she was pleased with his overall health. His blood pressure was still low. The first time she took it he was laying down and it was 80/70 which is a very weird reading. The second time it was 80/60 standing. The strange thing is that most people with a pressure that low wouldn't be able to function, yet he's up walking around and talking.

We got back to the hotel about 4 and we've since had supper and got that cleaned up. We're going to try to stay up long enough to watch the All Star game, but don't know if that will happen. Tomorrow is heart cath day so it will be another long day with Bill laying flat for most of the day. Uncomfortable for him. At least I can get up and move around. May take my laptop with me tomorrow so I can update this earlier since I don't know just when he will get released. We will have to see how the morning goes.

Have a great night everyone! Try to stay cool if you're in the heat wave states (and most of you are)!
