Friday's Target Autumn Marigolds
Friday's Target Marigolds (SOOC)
I survived, and that's a good thing! Baruch Ha Shem!!
I awakened early on Friday and took my morning meds. I was quite anxious!! For the first time in a month, I took a sip of Jim Beam & felt calm. I took some almost-dawn photos of a heritage pomegranate flower. 🌸 I realized that my heart was not racing. Wow. That was a new feeling. I thought - perhaps the medication I have been taking for a month and a half is beginning to have an effect.
Finished packing my overnight bag and was driven to the hospital. Checked into the cardiac unit where the fabulous staff prepped me for the cardioversion procedure. It is supposed to shock my heart to beat more at the proper rate, and more coordinated, so it would actually pump blood. I undressed and donned the hospital gown.
An EKV was taken. I asked them to measure my heart beat rate because I felt pretty good. The said they will tell the nurse to measure my heart rate. The normal procedure was followed, so that never happened. :-)
My upper torso was shaved and I rested. As I was dozing, my nurse came in for the first time. She introduced herself and said the cardiac surgeon had just seen my EKV. He said my heart rate was normal, I did not need the procedure, and I should go home!!!!! He also said I should schedule an appointment with my cardiologist.
So, the curtains were closed, I got dressed, and called my caregiver firm's office. An hour and a half after my arrival, my caregiver picked me up and drove me home.
Later, after finally eating breakfast, we went to Nadine's Bakery and then to Target to pick up some things for Shabbat. Seeing these potted marigolds, I realized that I might be able to actually function in the garden, so I bought one pot.
