Remember yesterday when I said I was going to visit Sherry if God didn't have something else planned? Well He did. About 7:30 this morning my heart went into supraventricular tachycardia. Goody, now I have two kinds of heart malfunctions! Actually had both for many many years but now I have names and a cause. I called the cardiologist and at 9:45 when they hadn't called back I called them and told them I was going to the emergency room. "Well, you can have a 1:00 appointment if you like." Grrrrr-"No, I think this requires more than an appointment."
Once again I could avoid triage just by saying "heart arrhythmia or chest pains." Into the wheelchair and off to a trauma room. Today didn't take as long, all the tests were run last Tuesday. The ER doctor came in and injected a drug in my IV that would (hopefully) immediately pull me out of tachycardia. It did, not necessarily a pleasant experience, but it worked. They watched me for a couple hours and sent me home. I blame my more recent troubles on the beta blocker the cardiologist gave me, so I'm skipping it tonight and taking my old beta blocker. The I'll call them tomorrow. I am just ready for normal!
The blanket is progressing, I'm getting into the next repeat of colors. It's sitting out on the deck right now, finally got cool enough without rain so I can work outside. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel well enough to go see Sherry. Must call her!
I have a friend who had that for years too but finally one day it just got out of hand and now she's on meds to keep it from getting out of control again. Hope they are able to get you sorted out. It sounds like a very unpleasant experience!
