Ugh, you guys (you know who you are), I'm SO sorry again, for not being around much at all.
Literally have been eating Vicodins then sleeping for about four hours at a time til the stitches started hurting again then popping another and going back to bed.
Regarding that: If I'm not caught up on my sleep by NOW I never will be.
Anyway. The new drug didn't make a change in mom's heart beat, so she's scheduled for another cardio-version tomorrow at 10 a.m.
I went and saw her last night (brought all the owie stuff, cuz it kinda was bleeding a little last night and I can't pretzelize to the extent that I can clean it and put a clean bandage on) and the nurse took care of it for me.
SOOOOOOO nice, she didn't have to do that. She mixed the peroxide with saline so it hardly hurt, then put a new bandage, and she did it in about 45 seconds, lol.
Was very sweet of her.
Anyway, mom was doing well, just disappointed that her heartrate was still all over the map, and upset that the drug hadn't done anything.
I hope the second heart shocky works; she can't go on being so exhausted all the time.
Speaking of which, I WILL be better, I'm almost back, now, the stitches only sting a little periodically, and until about 45 mins ago I'd been drug free for almost 24 hours (it got MEAN with the stinging, so I took a half).
I've missed you all so much and I hope you've not forgotten about me.
Much love and moosh, and hope everyone is doing well.
