Non-productive...that's me this week.

Hello everybody.  Gosh! What a week I've had.  In my last post I mentioned I wasn't feeling well.  I had my MRI for my back spasms on Wednesday, (the results were in this morning and all is well there.)  to do the MRI, they had to turn my pacemaker off and then back on when they were done.  They also "interrogated" it, which means they run a print out of all activity of my heart for the past several months.  The technician looked at me and said, "Have you been feeling okay?"  I said nope, I haven't.  Apparently, since the end of November, I have had "several dozen" episodes of tachycardia when my heart was beating over 155 beats per minutes.  Many were well over 200!  No wonder I've been tired.  Apparently it has been at it's worst the past couple of weeks when I've felt so dizzy and shaky.

Yesterday they started me on a medication that is supposed to help.  It hasn't yet. :-). When I went for the MRI follow up this morning, they took my BP and sent me directly across the street to the cardiologist because it was so high. So I go back to the cardiologist again next Tuesday.  All this after being in the emergency room for most of Wednesday night.  A thoroughly yucky week.  

I don't mean to complain and be a "downer".  This is NOT normal for me, I usually keep pretty busy and I'm not happy about this stuff at all.  Especially because we have a CRUISE planned for next week to Mexico.  It has taken me years to talk my dear husband into going on a cruise.  We got a absolutely amazing deal on this one and if we have to cancel because of me I won't be a happy girl. :-(. Right now my doctors are split on whether they want me to go.

Okay.  Enough of that.  This and one other pair of mittens are all I've managed to complete so far since my last post.  I do like this blue color don't you?  If anyone would like a copy of the pattern, please just email me at queenbetsy2@gmail.com and I will be happy to send a copy to you.  I don't think it's on line anywhere.

I think I already posted this last month, but it's one of my favorites.  Papa reading to Piper.  She's eating a "roreo" as she calls them.  Dennis is wearing a sweater I knit him last winter. It's his favorite which makes me happy.  Mandy is hunkered down for the predicted blizzard.  I jut talked to her and it started snowing at their house about a half hour ago.  I'm praying all will be safe and the storm isn't as bad as predicted.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  I'm sorry that this was a more depressing post, but that was my life this week.  Doctors, doctors and the emergency room!  Next week WILL be better.
