Bill had his last appointment with Dr. Burnett for awhile. He only made a minor adjustment to his meds and it wasn't to the meds at all. He adjusted the break-point for taking the Coreg. Now, if his bp is under 90 we're to hold the Coreg, but still take the Inspra.

His device check showed that he has been having several episodes of the bottom of his heart speeding up. But, the device is set to "pace" him out of it and it was been doing that. The episodes are only lasting 30-60 seconds and he doesn't even feel when his heart speeds up, or when he's paced back down. At least the pacing is working and he's not getting any shocks.

We're still concerned about his weight. He's maintaining at about 162 which is 15 pounds under where he should be. No matter what we try the weight still won't come back...I should be so lucky! The only thing we haven't done is actually count calories but it's probably going to come to that. Part of it is still getting used to the dentures, although he's doing quite well with them now. It's still hard for him to bite but he's chewing things that have a little more substance to them.

We're trying to get all the last minute lists made so that we can start packing to leave. We only have about 10 days left before we hit the road. There is sooo much to think of!

All for today...have a great week-end everyone!
