I know I have ignored my blog for a long time but there is a reason. In September I went to my doctor and found out I had AFib. Not what I had gone to her to cure but I guess it was more important.
One week ago I had a procedure on my Heart they call an Ablation. I was put on a second medication to keep my heart calm. I could do nothing but sleep, wheeze and cough. My head would feel like it was blowing off and my eyeballs were not far behind. I was dizzy, panted to breathe, couldn't eat and my legs looked like telephone poles. I called my Heart doctor and he said I could quit the medication he had just put me on. The next day I was feeling soooo much better. I stopped panting as much and didn't have to go back to bed after tending to the animals. Now I am four days without the medication and I did most of my usual chores today and can actually breathe with my mouth closed once again. I have an appointment with the doctor on Monday so he will tell me if the procedure worked or not. I now, Thank God, am on the mend.
The cats and dogs have been so good during this whole ordeal. I used my warming blanket on my side of the bed because I was cold all the time. I would turn on the blanket, get my jammies on, turn back around and there would be Binx and Paddy taking up the whole thing. Paddy was so happy he purring most of the night.
Zoey won't stay in the bedroom because she hates Binx. She does on occasional walk through so I won't forget her.
My husband has done what he can to help with the cats and dogs during this time but I have realized that he is not able to understand what needs to be done or even what I just went through.
Oh ya....I forgot to mention, I bit off part of my tongue during the surgery. When I woke up I couldn't figure out why my teeth and tongue hurt so bad.
I'll update soon
