I'm okay, Bobby. Thank you. Thanks to all :grouphug:

I didn't get the rest of the stress test results on Friday, and it looks like I won't be able to get them online at all.

I got curious and looked up some old EKG's, and the second heart block was present on those too, so I can stop wondering about that. Since it's not a new thing, it's less likely that it's the source of my symptoms, but it's still possible. I can't believe the s- doctors don't tell people.
I need to talk to the cardiologist about it.

I have just been very tired, but anxious at the same time.

We are supposed to do laundry today, and it can't wait another week, but I feel like I need to go back to bed. I'm entertaining the thought of trying to do it myself tomorrow... I will take a shower and see how I feel.

Please try and go do the laundry at least what you really need
to do today. I'm worried about you trying to do it tomorrow.
By yourself.

I sure wish you could figure out a way someone could help you
during the week.

What a shitty day yesterday was!

I woke up to cat puke on the way to the kichen, and Rocky's foul smelling s- , so had to clean the puke and scoop the litter boxes right away... only to find that Dottie missed the box again, and there was pee all over one of the litter mats. Cleaning the litter mat isn't a huge job, but it takes FOREVER to dry because there are holes on the whole thing to catch the litter. Then once it's dry, I have to bleach out the tub.

I was hoping I would feel better after taking a shower yesterday, but I felt worse. There was NO WAY I could go out. I was afraid I would pass out. Unfortunately, that meant that I lost my opportunity to get Corey's help to do the laundry this week. I will be taking a few things, just some essentials, to the laundromat tomorrow just to get us through until next weekend. Not looking forward to it.

When I woke up from my 3 1/2 hr nap, I had to clean up more puke and scoop the boxes again. I was p-.

We had been having problems with brown-ish water, but according to the water department, we should not be having the problem anymore, and the water looks clear when we run it. But Corey noticed yesterday that there were floaties in the Brita pitcher, and the water looked BROWN. So, I emptied and cleaned it. The whole filter was BROWN! Then I had to clean and descale the Keurig too, which takes FOREVER.
I had Corey come with me to the store to buy a case of water because obviously the Brita isn't filtering the water well enough, so I won't drink it. Now he wants me to buy a Zero Water pitcher because of the commercials, but I will have to look into it first.

The new cat food arrived in the nick of time yesterday. but had to wash out the cat bowl (it's one of those raised off the floor types that isn't simple to do) and the container we keep the food in. Just more to do.

I can't imagine doing laundry, then having to do all of that other s-. What I did do was WAY TOO MUCH... exhausted today.

I'm home today. I was hoping to get some cleaning done, but it's only 10am and I'm ready for a nap already. I'm probably going to listen to my body and just lay down.

I'm hoping to hear about the rest of the stress test today...

That sounds like a rather stressful day yesterday. I hope you have a more relaxing and enjoyable day today.

I wish you could get a break

Thank you :grouphug:

I didn't set an alarm when I laid down for my nap yesterday, and ended up sleeping for 6 f- hours!!! I figured I would be up at the crack of dawn this morning after sleeping the day away, but I actually slept in an hour later than usual.

Being well rested will be an asset since I have a lot to do this week:
Today I have to do laundry
Tomorrow afternoon I see the cardiologist
Thursday is the tilt table test, and
Friday I have PT
I hate having more than one appointment in a week!

The apartment is disgusting, and somewhere I have to squeeze in grocery shopping, too.

I called my PCP's office yesterday to try to get the results of the rest of the stress test, but haven't gotten a response yet. Hopefully I will hear something today. If not, I'm sure I will hear all about it at the cardiologist's tomorrow.

OhKay 06-27-2018 07:03 AM

I forward the calls from my landline to my cellphone so I don't miss important calls, but I realized in the evening that call forwarding wasn't working. I KNOW I set it up right, but I have no idea where my calls were being forwarded to... and the only call I got on my cellphone yesterday was a wrong number.

I am still waiting for the results of the rest of my stress test, but my PCP's office usually calls my cell, or sends me a message that they've posted the results on the patient portal (they haven't), and the hospital may have called with instructions for the tilt table test I'm having tomorrow.
I see the cardiologist this afternoon. He should have the results, since I had the test done on the 19th. And I'll call the hospital's cardiology department to make sure they don't cancel it because couldn't contact me yesterday.

Corey commented on how light the (dirty) laundry bags were, but I told him I just packed up what I thought I could handle. I ended up doing okay at the laundromat by working smarter vs. harder. Because I did that little bit of laundry, he thought he was off the hook this weekend, but I only did enough laundry to get us through the week, and there's still a TON left. Boy, was he disappointed lol.

My water is no longer brown! So once we finish the bottled water, we will be going back to using our Brita. I've felt guilty about drinking so many bottles of water. I had no idea how much water I drink.

OhKay 06-27-2018 07:34 AM

My PCP's RN just sent me a message through the patient portal to tell me that they STILL don't have the results of the rest of the stress test...

What the hell is taking so long?

I see the cardiologist today, and it would be really f- nice if he had those results...

Dmom3005 06-27-2018 02:39 PM

Kay

Not sure why its not there yet. I hope the cardiologist has the
results. If not the cardiologist should be able to get the results
from the hospital and even read them.
