He felt bad enough to visit his doctor today, and the doc was worried about his COPD. Prescribed Prednisone, Azithromycin and the meter. I set up the meter for him and got readings of 98-100 for me, low 70s for him. I had him breathe deeply several times and his readings climbed to the 80s, where his doctor wanted them. I have a terrible fear that this could be the end game for him. Speaking of which, my pulse today (shown on the oxygen meter) was always 90+; I firmly believe that AFib recurred shortly after I left the office when they zapped it with burst pacing. So: more ablation? Paddles?
