For the week, that is. I've been up early (for me) the last couple of days.
I knew you'd understand, LucyLee. I was getting quite concerned yesterday -he was so out of breath just getting in the car. He decided that he's taking the metolazone today & tomorrow trying to get this water weight off, then he'll go on the twice a week regimen. He also takes Lasix every morning. He had a nurse calling him several times winter/spring with questions about his congestive heart failure. His comment to me was, "I've never had congestive heart failure have I?" Think he realizes now just what the congestive heart failure means in retaining all that fluid. He was more symptomatic this time than he was in the spring -just had the immediate weight gain then. Or at least it wasn't to the point that it is this time. Let me tell you, LucyLee, I totally understand your own concerns.
My blood pressure yesterday was 108/68 -cardiologist said, "That's what the exercise is doing." We talked about my frustration with trying to lose weight the last month or so. Told me to just keep doing what I'm doing -my A1C is good (even lower than in August & they actually don't want it much lower than now -6.6) so he knows I'm 'behaving'. Said it would come. So I'm choosing to believe him and I'll just keep working at it. (Just now looked at my triglyceride level and for the first time it's WAY normal! It was 196 in August and 129 now -had been wondering how to get that number down. Guess the exercise is showing in a lot of places.) My doctor is going to be very happy tomorrow and so am I.
