Thanks @Blueberrybook.

We'll know more in 1 or 2 days which is how long it'll take to get all the water out of her system. Her legs are badly swollen as is her stomach - all water.

She's on the cardiology ward and her doctor is in the same hospital which is great. We went through a bad diagnosis before but I think this time is different. They're being very diligent and taking things step by step.

Anxiety is under control, at least physically with the Klonopin. My mind is a mess but I guess that's to be expected in the circumstance. My family is supportive.

Yes, I have a T but I don't see her until next Tuesday. I'll speak with her about this though.
