I am glad to see last week go. It was a
difficult one for me and my family. The week started off with me throwing my
back out. I was bed ridden for a couple of days. And managing the pain was hard
to do when I finally could get up and about. It was then my daughter was rushed
to the emergency room with a potential heart attack. After a zillion tests,
they admitted her and scheduled an emergency cardiac catheterization. We were
worried sick. My son-in-law, her
children and I waited for the cardiologist to tell us the results. Fortunately,
she had no blockages that required a stent. However her heart is having spasms
when her blood pressure spikes. So they put her on medication to get it under
control. After a couple days in the hospital she was released to go home.
Getting her discharge papers proved to be more of a hassle than being there,
let me tell you. But she's finally home recovering from surgery. However, I
wasn't through seeing the inside of a hospital. I spent all day Friday with my
husband at another one while he was getting a breathing test and echocardiogram
because his COPD has worsened. Needless to say, I hope this week is better... even
if we are expecting MORE snow.
