Some girls will do anything…

to see the lovely Dr Clarke before Christmas.

and I’m one of them.

Tuesday was not a good day. I went into Atrial Flutter, as soon as it clicked in, (2.00 p.m. if you must know) I Knew it was going to be In that rhythm for a long time even with medical intervention, rather than the fluttery, that pops in and out for a few minutes just to remind me that I have this condition before disappearing.

To cut a long story short. I feel like shit. I can’t do much. My surgery is planned for Saturday where they will zap my heart back into normal sinus rhythm whilst I’m under a general anaesthetic. (I’ve not had this done before and its quite frightening for me, I normally opt for a drug route but that takes time, eight days last time) I’m on anticoagulants and more heart drugs. And I’ve had to make a decision that once all of this is over that I will need to go ahead with the heart surgery that rights this condition.

The Christmas tree and everything else are going to have to wait. (although I have a marzipaned cake that may get a very child like covering of royal icing, maybe thats a job for the boys this year.

Apart from when I’m at the hospital having blood tests or anticoagulant injections I’m sleeping, knitting for a short while makes me quite tired and I need a four hour kip in the afternoon!

I’m sure I’ll be fine, 😉

    Eek – what a decision to have to make just before Christmas! I’d give you a call but it’s still antisocial o’clock in the morning so just know that I’m thinking of you and praying for you.PS I think it’s a great idea for the boys to ice the cake – tell them to aim for natural snowdrift look and you can tell everyone it’s a designer cake!

    Thanks Girls, Dreadful day again, as you might imagine. My left calf woke me in the middle of the night in pain, which was quite worrying. I’ve had a scan for a DVT and I’m clear, which is good news and bloods taken to check how thick I am.. (well we all know the answer to that!) Had a couple of funny turns at the hospital again today. (heart completely racing and I’m nearly in a state of collapse) I’m that good I’m thinking of starting a cabaret routine!Anyway I’m home and comfortable and as soon as hubby returns with some ham for lunch and I’ve eaten I’m going to bed for a little while. So, afternoon kips, what could be finer. thanks for your lovely messages and thoughtsxx
