~Berry disappointed...~

I've been missing in action lately. So many things going on with me and my family in the last few months. I was diagnosed (when I went to have a broken foot x-rayed) with atrial fibrillation. I have been tested, and seen many cardiologists...and have been placed on a blood thinner. I don't know if many of you know what a fib is...it's an abnormal heart rhythm that can carry a risk of stroke. I had a cardioversison as an out patient the week before Christmas. (where they try to "zap your heart back into a normal sinus rhythm.) It worked first try, but only lasted a couple weeks. Sigh. A fib can make you feel exhausted, and I haven't had much energy for flickr or photo taking. My cardiologist suggested the chemical cardioversion ...but you have to be in the hospital for three days on a monitor. Well...greetings from the hospital...today is day three, and it isn't working and I am very very discouranged ,,,they are thinking about doing the cardioversion again tomorrow, since the combination has a great success rate. I could use some prayers...I keep hoping in the next 24 hours it will revert on it's own. I've been missing everyone and flickr.xo
