Been a super long time since I posted so it is catch up time.  Our old family dr came back to town and we immediately transfered to him - he took one look at the fact that I have a dry naggy cough (have had for over 2 years) and took me off the bp meds I was on. I knew that was the problem but the other dr wouldn't listen to me.  within just a few days my cough was almost totally gone - however now we have new issues, my pulse rate is way to fast caused by my heart not pumping enough blood and pumping twice as fast to keep up with what I need.  So now on different bp meds and I have an appt with a cardiologist in a couple of months.  Frank went to the dr for a routine follow up yesterday and he discovered a slight heart murmur so now he is on heart meds as well as water pills etc.  We are hoping it doesn't interfere with him starting the new Hep C treatment.  He hasn't been feeling well for some time now and I just want us back to the way things were before.  Also in the change we found out that the stupid dr we had before had put a weird notation on Catherine (my daughter)'s chart that read AAA which in the medical field stands for Aortic Abdominal anuerysm!  WTF!  I swear that guy is a quack with a captial Q!  Things need to slow down for us but don't see that happening anytime soon.  Oh and we went to AZ for vacation in April and the day after we got back I developed walking pneumonia and was sick for almost a month!  Please Lord I need a break!
