We saw Dr. Li today. He is pleased with my progress. We are increasing my new med by a quarter of a pill. I am decreasing my atenolol to every other day. I need to start monitoring my heart rate during my aquacise class (I hadn't been doing that...) He ordered some lab work today to test my electrolytes. Mostly my potassium as I have been having episodes of severe leg cramps, my thighs in Florida and my calves this week. We did ask him about taking quinine pills, as they are for leg cramps. He said no, lets not do that as it can cause some potential heart problems and low blood pressure.

We anticipate some drowsiness again with each increase. We are anticipating about a two to three week adjustment. I will go back to Dr. Li in three weeks. If all goes well, we will plan to increase to a full tablet at that time. :)

I had another good day today, except for my calves, I over did it in my aquacise class on Monday, some how and my calves are so sore that I can't walk quite normal. Dan mentioned something about a penguin and so did one of my students...
