Got to bring Dave home yesterday. Typical hospital discharge scenario: show up around 2:00PM, leave hospital at 5:30PM. Cardiologist appointment this morning for the transplant folks (yearly evaluation). Hospitals are lousy places to get rest.

After he got home from the appointment we were off to Target for a couple Rx for me and 5 buckets of cat litter (40 lb Scoop-Away for $9.00).

Next up Walgreens for Byetta - first dose tonight. This should be interesting.

One weight-loss doctor I saw several years ago suggested Byetta for an off-label use of reducing belly fat, which is evidently one of its more peculiar (and common) side effects.

Not that I'm suggesting you need to lose weight.

("Does this dress make me look fat, dear?")

But Scott (my doc) and I think it's an excellent idea - to the tune of ~20kg. 15kg is probably more realistic, since I can't see myself much below 210.

And yes, he and I have picked drugs based largely on beneficial side-effects; eg, Wellbutrin for the "Zyban-effect" when I was still smoking.
