Quinton Update

By popular request, here is a current picture of Quinton. He looks so nice and thin! He's about 40 pounds lighter than he was at this time last year. His skin is much clear too.

As of this week, Q has been out of the hospital for a solid 4 months. Recently, he had been having bouts of little to no energy. He describes it as his body shutting down, but his mind was running a mile a minute--a strange feeling, indeed.

These feelings were most pronounced shortly after he took his medication. I suggested that he test his blood pressure. It was very low, so I urged him to go see his doctor.

Q saw his primary care doctor on Tuesday morning. He agreed that he indeed need to have the dosages on his BP meds lowered. He even quit taking one of them altogether. Unfortunately, it wasn't the expensive one. Q also made another appointment to see the doctor again in a month.

It's only been a few days since the he's been on the adjusted medication, so it's a little soon to see any major changes in his energy level. But he has been able to spend more time off the couch.
