I'm sorry I haven't been out here, but my heart started acting up on Wednesday. I got up and I was in A. Fib. I spent all morning long trying to figure out if I needed to go the ER. I called my cardiologist early in the morning and they paged him twice and he did not return our phone call. Come to find out he was in surgery. When his office open I called and talk to his nurse and told her what was going on and she told me that it would be up to me whether or not to go to the emergency room. I just can't tell you how much this old bat drives me crazy. She needs to retire! I've been called my Rheumatologist office about my remicade and told them what was going on and they told me that I would not be able to have my treatment without a release from the cardiologist. So I called the cardiologist back talk to the stupid nurse told her what I needed and told her that I could go and get my treatment if I could get there by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She tells me she doesn't know when she'll be able to talk to the doctor because they have a lot of patients to see once he gets in. She warned me that she may not be able to talk to him till tomorrow. Do I even have to write about how furious I was? You can only imagine the verbage coming out of my mouth. After I calm down I called them back and talk to a girl who is kind of like their office manager and told her all that has happened that morning and she about blew her stack like I was doing. She told me as soon as the Dr got in she would talk to him and call me back. The Dr called me about 45 minutes later and apologized for not returning my call early in the morning and told me why and then told me that I could have my remicade while being in A. Fib. I told him that I needed someone to fax my Rheumatologist the clearance. He repeated to Tracy the girl I talk to instructions to fax office and gave her the number that I gave him. He even told me that he wanted me to see another heart specialist about finding the medication that would work for my A. Fib. So guess where I'm heading to?
I got dressed like a crazy person and headed to get my remicade about 1 o'clock. I got there about 10 minutes till 2 and there was a long line people checking in with only two out of 5 people working the front desk. How crazy is that? It took them 25 minutes to get me processed. Luckily the infusion nurses were kind enough to let me have my remicade being that late.
When I got through with the infusion I was stuck in rush hour traffic to get back home. It took me almost 2 hours. Sometimes I just hate living here! On the way home Mike called and I'm telling you I'm getting real sick of him and about to tell him where to go fly a kite! I have never seen such a piece of work. I don't know if y'all have ever been around someone who demands to have the last say and to always be right! I swear add being obnoxious and you have Mike. After nearly 10 years I have about had enough. He needs to fly away and bug someone else. He causes me way too much stress! Anyway, while talking to him I went into A. Fib. again! Luckily this time it didn't last but a couple of hours.
So that was Wednesday.
Thursday was my birthday. It was a quiet day and I heard from a lot of friends and I just didn't make the time to get out here before I went into A.Fib again. Mark was going to take me out for steak dinner but I just didn't feel like going so he went to a restaurant down the street and brought home some fried shrimp for us to split. It was very good. Luckily around bedtime my heart was back to be beating normally.
Friday we were supposed to travel to see my friend Teresa from high school and with all that has been going on and the way I was feeling I cancelled the trip. It was so hard for me to do because I was anxious to be able to see her and she was super excited about us coming. I really hated disappointing her but I know pretty quickly once I start this new eating plan then I'll be in better shape with my heart and for traveling.
I ended up meeting Mark for lunch, and then I came home and I wanted to nap that my niece Meredith called. Everybody in the family with the exception of Mark and I were invited up to my brother's Lake house 4 Father's Day. Even though we had plans to be out of town I was a bit upset with my brother four not remembering my birthday. But he could call his daughter on my birthday to have dinner and he could called my parents to ask them up to the lake for the weekend. Unfortunately I called to make sure my parents made it safely and I ended up going off on my dad in regards can my brother and his thoughtlessness. I'm so done with him! I was quite upset realizing how is it was affecting me after going through all the counseling. I just don't know why this hurts so bad! Needless to say I didn't feel like celebrating my birthday again so Mark and I just stayed home. We've decided that we would go out tomorrow night and celebrate for sure!
The good news is that I got today is that my computer has been fixed by the Geek Squad and they are preparing to ship it back to me. So hopefully by the end of next week I won't be having to dictate these posts and leaving you having to read through the typos and run on sentences and paragraphs! I have not even gone online to look at the posts, but I'm sure once I do I will be doing some major editing! LOL!
Till tomorrow... Be good!
