I gotted 3 hours of sleep today before my Mom needed me to take her to the hospital for her visit to Grandma.  I'm grumpypants. :(


She is going into surgery tomorrow.  They are going to look around, but they are decently sure that they will at least put a pacemaker in.  I've been there, done that, so I was able to answer some questions for my Aunt before the doctor even stopped by.  The whole family is weary because of what I went through, though.  I hated the damn thing, but then again when they gave me mine they broke a wire when they put it in so it never worked properly anyways.  She has better doctors so hopefully the outcome will be better.  I had to tell her that no, she wouldn't have to give up her microwave. :D  They've improved. 

But man!  Her heart rate when she was sleeping was upper 30's, and irregular.  Never before had loud, nails on chalkboard snoring been a comfort.  I was scared to take my eyes of of her!  But she slept better with someone there so she looked better this morning.  Good, she'll need the strength.


Brach's candy corn is back!!  Straight up sugar rush!  Yeah baby!

Man, I've seen how our microwave can interfere with our internet broadband router, so I can't blame her for being worried!

Yeah, and it was well publicized decades ago because people with pacemakers were suing convenience store owners for not putting warning signs up in their stores that use microwaves. Their was even an episode of The Simpons about it. :D

But yeah, I had mine put in over a decade ago and even back then they had improved so much that the only thing I couldn't do was go within 5 feet of a high voltage power line or 100 feet to a nuclear reactor. I'm pretty sure I wasn't going to do those things anyways. ;)

Those pesky nuclear reactors. Always gotta be causing problems.

I still have my fingers crossed that everything will be ok. If they do go for the pacemaker, hopefully it will be peace of mind, knowing its the problem is under control. I sleep better knowing my Dad's heart is monitored as often as it is, hopefully it will be the same for your family.

*hugs* I'll be online tomorrow if you need to chat at all.
