Mountain Highs and Valley Lows

Her Cardiologist appointment last week went well. She is off one of her heart medicines and cut back on the other one.

Even with wanting her home, I want to be sure she is good enough to be home where I will not have to take her right back to the hospital. I am glad we are getting there. So far Medicare and the insurance supplement have covered everything so far.
