NSR

Three sweet letters.

Normal sinus rhythm. NSR.

Which means, no messing with cardioversion, no zapping me with paddles, no nothing. Just a friendly "well done, keep doing whatever it is that has worked so far" from the EP docs, and I'm done with them.

Moreover, they've updated one of my diuretics, Aldactone (spironolactone) to a more modern form, Inspra (eplenerone). Since eplenerone is far more selective as an aldosterone antagonist than spironolactone, some of the side effects should abate. Hopefully, some of the resultant tissue changes will also abate (though I've been warned that will take months, if it happens at all).

They also transitioned me from generic warfarin to name-brand Coumadin. That'll be a bit expensive, but so it goes. I won't mess with a DAW order from a cardiologist. (Well, not a Fellow, anyway. A resident would get a debate, and an intern, a full-out argument, I suppose.)

So anyway… woot!

Now I just have to file the paperwork with the court, buy and receive all the oils, finish the curriculum, and work on the website by January 9….
