Today my Mom had a check up with her heart doctor for the first time since her last episode a few weeks ago. I was worried about it, more so since she asked me to tag along and listen in for her, this job is usually reserved fro my G or an aunt. Somehow I became the lucky one to be volunteered to sit in. Needless to say the last few nights I haven’t been able to rest well and its been running in the back of my mind.
I guess the fact of not really knowing what to expect, would they make her run on a treadmill or take blood or hook her up to different machines? All those thoughts ran through my head over and over.
It ended up we did an EKG a blood pressure check and a list of her medications, a run down of how she felt. The doc checked her heart beat and talked to her a bit and changed her meds around. No big deal! Since she’s not really had any pains lately he was please to hear it and let her go until March.
She practically skipped out of the office, it was like a new lease on life for her.
She called on her cell to give the 411 to my G and PG, her brothers and sisters and Luke. Luke was happy to hear the news and planned on making a run down to see us with the whole crew in the next couple of weeks.
She wanted to go to the mall, the Doc wanted her to walk more. For gosh sakes she is always mall walking but he wants her to do more. I volunteered to help her on Mondays, with walking, so for now on she and I plan on having a walking date every Monday afternoon.
I called Jacks to let him know everything was ok, he’s been worried about it, missing out on sleep and having head aches. Typical of him, anything worries him he gets quiet and wont sleep and on come the head aches.
I slipped in a text message to Lori and she gave me a quick “Yay, I love you” before her phone could be confiscated in class.
Now, since the rains seem not to want to stop I might just go a relax a while and catch up on some sleep.
