Today

Yesterday came and went.  Lunch with Ruth and Carol; Dr's appt. All my vital signs are being monitored and everything was going nicely.  About one am this morning, my heart decided to start "tap dancing."  All my medical people tell me to document, document, document.  I was in bed, watching TV, when it started.  Nothing exciting going on; could not tell why it started.


I finally fell asleep, exhausted, around 3.  (It makes me tired.)  I woke up around 6:30 - heart still "dancing."  (Gene Kelly would have been jealous.)  I DID document the incidences on my heart monitor.  I have been wearing it for several days.  This is the first time it has been documented by a monitor.  I spaced the recordings about 4 hrs apart.  


I got up and worked on the computer for about an hour; heart still dancing.  It doesn't usually hurt but extremely annoying and tiring.


The "other" vital-sign monitor went off at 9:00.  The heart beat was 93, and it is usually around 65 each am.  Otherwise, everything else was okay.  After transmitting the vital machine info, I called the heart monitor company and transmitted my heart activities. They saw the arrhythmia and was supposed to call the Dr's office.  It is 4:30 and I haven't heard from anyone.


By 11:00 I was worn out and went back to bed.  (Ween was right beside me all morning.) When I woke up around 3:30, my heart was beating regularly and I felt fine


This is the first time that the dancing has happened in a while.  It can't be determined why it starts or why it stops, or what is causing it.  Who knows - it could be most anything.  I pray that is all for now.  I want to go to Tallahassee to see Mary and Byron. Ween will not be happy being left at home.  Oh well.  Mock will have to deal with her, until I come back.
