Did you guys talk while at the laundry mat? Did you read? play cards?

While we were waiting for the laundry to wash and dry, Corey wasn't interested in conversation, and just smoked cigarettes and played games on his phone... not surprising because was pouting because he didn't want to be there.

I used the CVS and ATM drive throughs yesterday, and had a short walk in and out of the store to buy cigarettes. When I got home, I made myself clean the sink and toilet, and took my nap. I slept from about 2-6pm. We usually eat at 7, but it took me FOREVER to make the meat sauce for the pasta, and I ran 1/2hr late. Corey was not happy about it, but he gets mad when I say I'm sorry.

I'm getting my nails done this morning. Judy was leaving to get her hair colored when she finished my nails two weeks ago, and I can't wait to see how it turned out. She couldn't do it while she was pregnant, and she really needed it.
I chose pink and purple the last two times I had a manicure because they were pretty new colors, but I want to go back to my favorite shade of red this time... but they may have some new shades in stock, one of which I may be able to get talked into lol

I've already showered, but I don't have to leave for an hour. I guess I will take that time to switch pocketbooks. All of my leather bags are too heavy, so I have to go back to the canvas bag, which is black... so much for the pretty spring colors :(

I hope you enjoy judy's new hair style and manicure. I know she cheers you up!
Have a good day!

I woke up very short of breath and lightheaded with some dizziness this morning. Usually it happens mainly with exertion (not that I exert myself much), but sometimes even a walk into the kitchen is enough today. My BP is 122/74 and my pulse is 102. I'm NOT going to urgent care or the ER unless I develop a more emergent symptom(s). I see the NP in my PCP's office tomorrow morning.

I have my first pool PT appointment at 11am today, but I don't know if I'm going to make it. I don't care about the cancellation fee. I just need the PT. If I'm feeling like I am now, there's no friggen way I can go. I should just cancel.

I want to make damn sure that my symptoms aren't related to anxiety, so I've been diligent about treating it adequately. I have been taking 1/4-1/2 mg more Klonopin in the morning, even tho that means I've been breaking my rule about not driving if I've taken more than 1mg. I've overmedicated myself a bit a couple of times, but even then, my symptoms persist. I need the extra Klonopin now because my anxiety is rising...
Otherwise, I'm holding it together.

It was so good to see Judy! :)
It turns out that my go-to red isn't the red-red that I remembered it to be, but it's still a great color, and my nails look beautiful :)

I am sorrry you are having symptoms.

glad that you are seeing your PCP tomorrow.

Kay,

Do you make your own tomato sauce?

So happy for you that your nails are beautiful.

I drove home from the dentist once with a little under 1.0 klonopin that I had taken before the appt. I was not comfortable with the driving. And would only do it again if I was sure I was the only one on the road so I could go slowly.

I have the appointment with the NP in my PCP's office at 9:30. I will post an update when I can.

The NP thinks I probably have a heart arrhythmia- probably atrial fibrillation or flutter. She ordered a 24hr halter monitor and an echocardiogram (that at my suggestion)...

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get appointments for the tests until next Thursday. I can’t believe it... I feel like I’m being thrown to the wolves.

She is going to review my case with my PCP to see if he wants to do anything else. A different department schedules the appointments, so I’m sure they’re unaware of the wait involved. Don’t know if they would care.

I woke up again this morning with symptoms right away, but there’s nothing I can do but wait and see how things play out I guess.

Thanks for the update, you have to wait a week before the tests happen. I am sorry for the wait.
And I am sorry you are having these symptoms.

I'm guessing they wouldn't be surprised at the wait. Its honestly
not to bad a wait on especially the halter.

Now you might ask if the echogram if you could get on a cancellation
list. But then you would have to be ready if they get one. So not
sure if that would work.
