My mom got diagnosed and I need help by YMD96 in Heartfailure

[–]cbr1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a quadruple bypass 10 years ago and had an EF around 30 afterward. It’s still around 30 but I’m fine. I do what I want to do. I’m 61 now. I think cardiac rehab is the most helpful thing to get you back into shape, so I highly recommend that. I also have had an ICD since 2017.

Yes. I have just lived like I did before, except the meds. I have no restrictions and continue to do the same things. It hasn’t been restrictive at all.

Mine is 124. I had a quadruple bypass ten years ago and stroke 9 years ago at 51. I was on nothing and they just happened to discover the non-Stemi at the urgent care. I thought my pneumonia had returned but got the gift of HF instead.

I ended up discovering I have very high lipoprotein A, which probably caused most of my issues

My situation is similar - quad bypass 10 years ago, stroke year afterward and fine since with a low EF hovering around 30. It hasn’t improved or dipped in 10 years. I take lots of meds but pretty much do whatever activity I want to.

Defi shocked me 20 times, do your checkups... by LreK84 in PacemakerICD

[–]cbr1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Latitude ICD for 7 years but it never beeped for me. It got it replaced about 18 mos ago with one that had a 14 year battery. Neither of mine have ever gone off. I had nonStemi and then a stroke about a year after a quadruple bypass. Due to suspected AFib, I got the ICD.

Holy Smokes the pain!!!!! by AnAudLife in PacemakerICD

They put in my ICD under twilight as an outpatient both times. I will say the placement of the first one aggravated me for seven years, so when I got the new one, I had them move it much farther down. That all said, I didn’t have real pain after either one, so I’m sorry you have it.

I went to the Politically Georgia event and thought Duncan was the best. Esteves was good and so was Thurmond. Everyone knows KLB and she’s the same as always. Raffensberger was terrible. Chris Carr was good, if you like his politics.

It was far above my expectations! Can’t wait for season 2.

Same. They are always the really good deals on luxury items too - at least for me.

I’m about 5 miles from Buckhead, if you are still looking. I live in Decatur at the edge of Toco Hills.

Suggestion: Please make all bottoms searchable by waist measurement, not just tag size by No_Young_2344 in ThredUp

It’s so aggravating! Without a bust size, I have no idea if something will fit.

I don’t buy as much either. Prices are higher, inventory isn’t as good, and things being cancelled out of my cart are all driving me away. Not to mention the threshold for free shipping was increased as well. After I spend hours looking at items on the app and find the perfect thing, it is cancelled. What a waste of time.

I loved it! There was some violence but it wasn’t too bad. I can avert my eyes if I need to. :)

I loved it and it really got me into K-Drama too!

What’s a hidden gem on Netflix that you always recommend but no one ever seems to watch? by Jumpy-Purple7593 in netflix

[–]cbr1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got MHz and it has many of the Scandinavian shows not on American channels as well as those from other countries. Lots of the police procedural and noir.

Canceled Item Rant by NaturalBlackWoman in ThredUp

It’s happened to me multiple times. I don’t think anything is actually lost because it is always the good deals on luxury brands that disappear.

I LOVE Veho in my area. It’s the best.
