Dying Man’s Daily Journal – A-fib is back

I always seem to struggle when I sit down to write a post. How many times have I said I am a rambler not a writer. That is exactly what I am running into as I try to get up a special post to thank all for helping me achieve the 500,000 hits. That was a milestone for me. Actually on my fantasy bucket list. I will get there. Likely going to just let loose with a ramble and see what comes.
Just not feeling so spry this past while but I will get it up. Just know I so appreciate each and every one.
Must be about 6 weeks ago my heart went into A-Fib. Doctors tinkered with medication. After a bit of an adjustment period it actually seemed to work. After about 2 weeks that began to change. It became sort of a day by day thing. One day good, the next not so much. Gradually good days became fewer until now it is constant.
What is A-fib? It is like the heart has a mind of its own. It decides on its own how fast it should beat and to what rythem it will beat. That is irregardless of what I am doing.
Example this morning, I literally had just rolled out of bed, checked rate and it was 119
Before they can do any sort of intervention, my INR levels must be between 3 and 4 for 4 consecutive weeks. That is measuring the thickness of my blood. This reduces the risk of clotting. Have made it past 3 weeks, the blood test next Monday is in the big one, I hope coming in in the right range as Wednesday I have an appointment with a different heart clinic, one that specializes in this sort of thing. Cardiac Ablation sounds to be the treatment of choice but that will be up to this new group of specialists.
Thought hit me. I tease Vi about wanting to see her in a harem girl costume. Now, I don’t actually remember dreaming but maybe in dream land there she was and I spent all night chasing her around. That must be it, would explain the elevated heart rate this morning, all that running.
