Tuesday--day 2 at home. Carol is NOT using her walker and has been up and about several times, even getting up out of her chair herself. The biggy was taking a shower alone. After all that she is ready for a nap. We are waiting the Home Health nurse right now. I think once that is over with she will be enjoying a LONG NAP. She is doing great, even slept well last night.

Tuesday day 2 at home. How fast things change, by 11:10 am Carol experienced a racing heart SVT super ventricular tachocarty, my spelling is awful I know. She had just made her 2 week appointment with her cardiologist, so called them back, they wanted her to come into the office for an EKG. The home health nurse arrived at the same time and confirmed Carol's thoughts. She helped me get her into the car. Off to the Dr., whose EKG machine wasn't working but the Dr. was in the office and checked her. He sent us to the ER rtight next door so he could do a procedure. They ended up giving her a shot in an IV that stopped her heart then it began beating like it was supposed too. Scarey for me, not being around anything like that before. Anyway she is now home again and just fine. He did put her on Denizen once again, upped her potasium, and magnazium. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Day 3 of being home. Once we got home from our little adventure yesterday, all went well. She had a good nights sleep, and is not using her walker or needing help getting out of the chair. She is even sneaking by me at times, quiet as a mouse. I think that's her intention to tell ya the truth. She has eaten a good breakfast, taken her vitals and all is GOOD. The PT is to come at noon to give an assessment. I'm amazed at how well she is doing.

Day 4. Another great day. Carol is doing really good, doing her exercises and walking around. She isn't a complainer, not on any pain meds or anything. She is looking great too. We are enjoying the quiet, just hanging out reading, reading, reading. She appreciates all the cards and calls.
