Pericarditis

Does anyone here have that? My daughter, who is 44, was in the hospital for this, and is wearing a heart monitor. She is seeing her cardiologist today.

I am not looking for a diagnosis or treatment plan. I just want to know a few things so I can support my girl.

and light cleaning, like dragging the vacuum cleaner around. Pericarditis wipes you out, everything is a struggle.

If you live far away, send chocolate. It won't help her condition or help her heal, but chocolate always makes most of us feel better.

I wish I lived closer. She is in California, I am in Illinois. She says her husband has been a champion.
