Four appointments this week, three of them yesterday! I was so incredibly exhausted. I have five appointments next week. One of them is a treadmill test that involves two isotope scans of my heart. If that comes out clear, then we shall set aside the chest pains for now. SIGH.
The fast heartbeats are either arrhythmias my pacemaker is not picking up, tachycardia, pacing, or a figment of my Fitbit, since my pacemaker it not show the same high numbers! THAT surprised me. My GP suggested that I also use my pulseoximeter to double check my heart rate. She has such a brilliant mind! Of course, I forgot to do that at 5:31, 6:09, and 7:11 this morning. SIGH.
I haven't accomplished much the past three days. I am bothered with how fatigued I am. Instead, I mostly languish on the sofa and sternly tell myself to DO SOMETHING. Then I do the tiniest of somethings on the computer. Well, Wednesday, I did reconcile my checking account, which I had not done for a month. Usually. I do so every two weeks. It was good, because I had forgotten to transfer the money from savings for a few the purchases on the credit card this past month. The credit card whose payment is automatically made on Wednesday.
Yesterday, I put a birthday card out in the mail. I did not catch up on the dishes. I did not finish off the two pots I promised to do last May. The pots I got ready to do when I began the Grand Fall Migration last Friday and left the two donor sedums plants downstairs instead of taking them from the front porch on up to the solarium. I did not make the pots Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. I hope to do so today. Maybe. The pots are ready. The donor plants are here. The pruning scissors are here. The rooting solution is here. The mulch is here. It will take me all of about 10-15 minutes. SIGH.
Leslie popped by yesterday. She arrived before me and napped. That warmed the cockles of my heart, because I have been telling her that she could do that anytime she wanted. With the market so hot in Fort Wayne, sometimes she has unofficial offers before a house is even listed. It is rare for a house to stay on the market past a couple or three days. She has been working at breakneck speed since last year, without the usual break over the winter.
I had received a $10 DeBrand's gift card. She has oodles of gift cards. I was hoping she would trade me chocolate for food. Sure enough, she did! I now have a $10 Chick-fil-A gift card. So, instead of chocolate I have never had, I get to have a salad I normally wouldn't buy because of the cost but really, really enjoyed once. I am happy and she is happy. Trades are wonderful. I wish I lived in a place (the south) where trades were more common.
I have an appointment the 11th with one specialist and the 12th with another. After that, I am hoping that I can take a break from doctors for a while. It has been exhausting just doing physical therapy twice a week, much less all the doctor appointments on top of that.
Even though I just said I am getting nothing done, I would like to clean my home a bit.
