Well, this sucks: Congestive heart failure

Went into urgent care a few days ago, thinking I was coming down with walking pneumonia. (Which I've had before.) No such luck.


I'm now on diuretics, a severe diet to lose at least 50lbs, no more salty foods, (Been hooked on those since I got a rock collection as a child, and *ate* the piece of rock salt!) and researching my supplement options. Co-Q 10 and L-Carnitine, certainly, they're so obvious even Webmd recommends them.

Well, can't say this was a shocker. I've been in denial about that bubbling noise in my lungs at night for at least 6 months, and I already knew odds of getting it were uncomfortably high after the chemo regime I went through a few years back. 

Gonna really miss potato chips. And buttered popcorn with extra salt at the movies.

Hey, tissue printing researchers: Get cracking on those printed hearts, I want to put in an advance order for some time around 2025...
