9/1 Visit to Cardiologist

We saw Dr. Sze yesterday as planned.

He explained that back on Aug 24 Anne had about 10 centimeters of fluid around the back of her heart, and now there are 7 centimeters. This means that the body has been absorbing the fluid naturally as we had hoped it would. Let's hope the trend continues. He doesn't need to see her again for 2 months.

Tomorrow we see the oncologist Dr. Ebrahim, and I think he'll be pleased when he sees Anne. I don't know what the next steps will be with him. Will let you know.

We were camping up at Pemaquid Point Campground last week and we went out to dinner one night at New Harbor. The parking lot for Shaw's Restaurant was hillside, from the road (Rt. 32) down to the restaurant at sea level. It was quite a steep hill such that it was a long drop out of the pick up truck if you were on the downhill side. That wasn't a problem.

Anyway, as we ascended the hill after dinner Anne fell behind the group. You know me, I didn't even notice her standing back there all alone. She had to stop and struggle to catch her breath, point being, she still cannot do things like walk up hills. It's because of the fluid that crowds her heart, lungs, and stomach. She has started to go back to Curves tho, starting slowly to try to work out once again.

Thanks for reading, and I'll keep you posted with any news about Anne. She is feeling and doing much better all the time, and happy with her curly hair.

Our best to all of you friends. Thanks for being there.
