The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good. I was able to get a few very nice days in Murfreesboro, TN last week. The days were warm, the nights cool and Darrell was home for the weekend. It was as if all the stars were in their right place! We did go to Nashville on Monday but the rest of the time was spent enjoying being home! I read some on the back deck, we had friends over for dinner and we watched a couple of movies. It was all so very relaxing.

The Bad. I needed the trip home. Work has been so stressful that I was having major episodes with my PVC's and didn't have to worry about being on a treadmill. My pulse was elevated as if I was on a treadmill! I had a doctor's apppointment on the same day I was to fly home and he didn't like my pulse. So, he sent me to have an EKG. He didn't like the results of that so sent me to Cardiology. A Echocardiogram was done and afterwards the doctor told me I needed to stick around and have the problem resolved. I would be called for an appointment. A few minutes later a technician called me again and said they wanted to take a couple more pictures. When I arrived I was told he was going to put an IV in....my immediate response....OH CRAP! Then he told me he would be shooting air into the line. I was like WHAT???? I thought that was bad, very very bad. He said a little was ok. Apparently it was ok because I'm still here! HA! Now I haven't heard the results of that test but if it was bad I would expect they would have made a quick appointment for me. Instead, my appointment was made for November 12th. So, I'm back on medication and trying to get regulated again. Retirement would help!

The Ugly. Well, it is official. Thom is in Afganistan. I don't think I have to say anything else about that except maybe....keep him in your prayers!

This weekend I'm going to a pumpkin stew dinner at Lloyd and Nancy's house. I'm curious to see how that works! I also have to made about 200 greeting cards to sell at a fund raiser for work. No rest for the wicked!

More to come later!
