Why No Training Update?
It’s been a tough week here, with my mom in cardiac ICU, after she blacked out, fell, hit her head, couldn’t stop throwing up and later in the ER went into V-tach (a scary and deadly heart rhythm) several times Tuesday. They had to zap her two seperate times to save her. So, I’ve been working as much as I can and running up and down the mountain to the hospital. It may take me a while to catch up with life, so don’t worry if we don’t post for a few days.
We got some good news from today’s tests (no new blockages or valve issues), so my mom is scheduled for surgery to put in a pacemaker + defibrillator combo thing on Monday to keep her heart doing the right thing electrically.
I’d say that should fix it, but we’ve faced falls and heart drama pretty much every 3-4 months since she had open-heart surgery about 2 1/2 years ago. She’s never been the same, and she’s only in her early 60s.
It’s been a long day. Just waiting for dinner to cook, then it’s time for good food and dog kisses.
BTW — The cardiologist came in the waiting room to talk to us as I was showing my sister some of Lilly’s videos. He made fun of me, asking, “And that’s interesting why?”
Considering my mom nearly died and could die if she goes into V-tach again without immediate help, I suspect he was trying to lighten the mood, but still … don’t make fun of a girl and her dog. Seriously.
