Fire ... I don't know how in the world you can remember all you do! When I look in the mirror, I have to wonder,"Who's THAT old guy!"
Anyway... My SO finally got approval for her test, they wanted 2 but good ole Molina said one was good enough.. Now she's tried to quit those cigs and again, Molina wouldn't approve Chantix, they said Zyban was good enough.. That sent her into orbit... I hid the rest of them for my own saftey... I think she's gonna try the old "nicotine gum trick"...
Yesterday she went for her MRI and today the doc called... Told her she had an enlarged "Aortic Root" at 4.2 or 4.3 ... Well you know me... I worry bout stuff, so I look it up... Says something along the lines of an "aneurysm" ... Great...
Now she's still puffin away... She takes BP meds and some kinda stuff to slow her "hummingbird" heart rate down a bit... I'm not liken this one little bit...
They want yet another test ... Let's see how long Molina waits this time... Maybe they think if they wait long enough, she won't need the dang thing!
Sorry to rant... I just found all this out 'bout an hour ago and I'm not really happy atm...
Like my G-paw always said,"Things will get better... Or they won't.."

I am really sorry to hear about this, Ice. It's so worrying when the people we love are threatened by health issues, particularly when they don't take the sort of care of themselves that we would like them to do. That's a tough situation to be in, for you both. Frustration added into it for you on top of fear, anxiety, worry....I hope things improve for you both and that this health scare doesn't develop into anything even more worrisome. Â Big virtual hugs coming your way.
