There's zero irony. I had a heart attack, and I had a stent placed in my heart. The Plavix prevents my blood from clotting the stent and killing me.
The Lipitor is to get cholesterol in line so less plaque is clogging my arteries. My diet has changed drastically since the attack, so I'm hoping I can get off the lipitor ASAP. I may be stuck on plavix for the rest of my life though.
I also take an aspirin a day, and lisinopril and metoprolol, both of which I believe I should be able to get off of. He's going to tell me on Monday I hope that I can let those expire.. I'm hoping!
I REALLY hate taking drugs
Absolutely hate it!
