Ok for those of you who may not know I have a pacemaker (have had one since 1997), actually this is my second one (it was implanted in 2004). Anyway for the past four or five months my pacemaker and/or heart have been having "issues" such as skipped beats, beating too fast/too slow. We aren't sure if it's the pacer malfunctioning or another new problem with my heart.
Sooooooooo today I had a stress test, echocardiogram and a thalimine (sp?) heart scan. My heart "cooperated" and started doing some of it's funky stuff during all three tests. However it was all "technicians" and nurses running the tests so they weren't at liberty to tell me anything, other than I was now somewhat radioactive for the next three days and to go home and rest the next day or two!! Soooooo we are waiting to hear back from the doctor about these tests as well as some blood work that was done earlier in the week.
Tonight I am feeling totally wiped out, like I've been hit several times with a Mack truck!! My heart is still acting up and having chest pains/discomfort, but I guess this too shall pass - or at least I hope it does.
Not much new going on in our lives the past couple of days. Just trying to get through the next 2 1/2 weeks of school - this has been a good week for Jesse - PRAISE GOD! Doing some work around the house - getting ready to have a new roof put on and some drywall / wall repairs and painting done in our living room.
We will be spending the weekend at my in laws so I'm hoping to get some fishing time in (they have a HUGE stocked pond!!), some quiet reading time, and maybe even a nap:):) Hopefully I'll have some new pix to post next week.
Have a great night and all those readers who are mothers - ENJOY OUR MOTHER'S DAY -- YOU DESERVE IT!!
