She scheduled for a stress test Tuesday, and has to wear one of those wireless monitors for 21 days starting Friday. But all the doctors think her problems—high blood pressures, fast heart rate, palpitations, etc.—were caused by anxiety. I guess that's good news, at least of a sort.<br /><br />It is sunny, though cool, outside. Lovely, actually. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your concern and note. I do appreciate it a lot.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-86088147128038771502010-04-28T09:21:19.069-04:002010-04-28T09:21:19.069-04:00Just checked in to see how your ladylove is doing....Just checked in to see how your ladylove is doing.

I can't tell you how many times I've spent a rainy day or two (or a rainy night) camped somewhere, listening to the drumming on my canvas or nylon roof, or the aluminum or fiberglass shell of my pickup's camper. Also in tiny cabins roofed with tin or cedar shakes. I love that feeling of snug security—to be warm and dry while around me the rain patters through leaves. It's a primordial happiness. <br /><br />As a kid, I'd take one of Mom's quilts and sit in the big red glider on the front porch, watching the storms move in from the west, and the rain approaching in visible "sheets" through the field across from the house. Mom would let me stay out until I began getting wet, or the lightning came too close—and then I'd go and stand inside, looking out the screen door, feeling the wet wind on my face through the mesh.<br /><br />A snug hideout, a good book, something to sip…that's a great scenario then and now, one of the very best!<br /><br />And thank you, I'm sure there'll be sunshine to follow this rain.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-90014970393563308902010-04-26T13:43:44.834-04:002010-04-26T13:43:44.834-04:00I have always loved the rain.

All tests so far have proven negative. Later this week, they'll do a stress test and then put her on a monitor for about three weeks—one of those new tiny wireless units where, if you think you feel your heart doing something funny—skipping beats, palpitating, beating too fast, etc.—you push a button and the unit sends a report via your cell phone to a lab where it's evaluated and, if necessary, subsequently reported to your doctor.<br /><br />At any rate, things are good at the moment. She can go back to work today if she wants. There doesn't seem to be heart issues involved…and the symptoms will most likely turn out to be stress/anxiety related. So all in all, good news.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-18121475413842925972010-04-25T16:21:14.425-04:002010-04-25T16:21:14.425-04:00It never rains but it pours.

Naturally, I was out of here in not more than a minute and on my way to meet them at the hospital's Emergency Unit. Upon arrival, Myladylove's heartrate was 130BPS, and her blood pressure was 180/110; she also had heart palpitations. They put her on monitors and began running various tests, trying to determine if it was a heart issue, possibly related to her recent potassium problems, or something else. Late yesterday afternoon, they admitted her to the hospital for an overnight stay. I didn't get back here until very late. The news is (at least as of last night) that it doesn't appear to be a heart problem, potassium levels are back to within normal range, and the consensus of opinion appears to be stress/anxiety. Good news, to my way of thinking. Guess we'll see what today brings.
