This is a quote from a nurse today:
Cindy is a “sick lady doing absolutely awesome” It’s true!!!
In the Day 223 – Pulmonary Hypertension post, I asked the question:
Viagra was initially developed as a medication for _______________________.
And promised to answer the question the next day – but I didn’t.
And now for the answer.
Viagra was initially developed as a medication for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension – exactly what Cindy has.

Cindy is now taking Sildenafil, which is Viagra. It relieves the pressure on the right ventricle, improving her symptoms of right-sided heart failure. Without Viagra, Cindy would not be recovering as well as she is.
