The heart doctor gave me a thumbs up after looking at my EKG saying the heart looks great. I then told him WHY,
if I knew what would happen after the operation, I would never have had
the operation and went into all the details of why and what a hard time
I was having. He made some suggestions and told me to discuss with my
primary about taking Lexopro which he said is a newer and better drug than xanax and/or lorazapem. He, also, said that though it might be very hard for a few days or even a week to use an OTC sleep aid like Melotorium (sp?) and that I should cut out metoprolol.
The
strangest thing, and it really threw him, I was crying when he walked
into the room. Oddly I was getting anxious about the appointment and I
don't remember what was going through my mind when he walked in but it
obviously made him listen to me as this was the longest he ever spent
time with me. We discussed many other things--I questioned why he
didn't send me to physical therapy--the possibility of getting a pain
manager and so on.
He, also, discussed the fact, like my psychologist said, that my mind and body aren't in sync and that it can take some time for that to happen--just what I DIDN'T want to hear!!! :O)
In
any case he said he would see me in 3 months instead of 6 just to see
how I am progressing. By the way, I gained one pound since the last
time I was at his office in August.
OOOPS! Cut my mind off--think that was done on purpose???
The mind and body will find balance. You are just not used to having the imbalance so it is probably more disturbing.
