Mary, thanks for the concern..specialist said I must at least for now 'curtail my activities' now that's easier said than done..not thrilled about all the meds nor am I thrilled with having meds that slow the heartbeat...

As I drove to his office I remembered seeing him before..during our visit which I must say astounded me, I could have spent the afternoon as he was gracious enough to sit and talk and not rush me out..just before my leaving he said, 'Liz, you've got quite a sense of humour' don't know where he got the Liz, guess because it said Elizabeth on the chart..anyway he says 'you are NOT the kind of patient I like having' wow, wonder why I'm thinking, he goes through his chart and says 'it's been 15 yrs. since your last visit - we doctors have to make a living' then he starts laughing along with me....asked him to check his chart why I was there 15 yrs. ago...same thing....

Not sure I'll just sit on the chesterfield and veg though but light activities should be fine....told me to keep my trusted nitro in my pocket, make sure I'm either sitting or laying down when taking it and made me promise that after a few shots if the pain didn't ease that I'm to go to the hospital..promised..

So that's my story..

Off I go, taking my time to drive in this morning as you can't see much..it's the high wind in the soft snow that makes it fun to drive in..

Hope you all enjoy your day

and

THINK SPRING!
