It's been quite a month. I'm ok if we don't have another like it for a LONG time! My back/hip pain is still with me. The doctor prescribed some medication but it's not working. The next thing was PT and I'm scheduled to meet with them today. We'll see how that works!
The other nasty news is that my wife has been slowing down a lot. Eventually her doctor suggested going to the ER! Well, hell! So we go over there and they immediately put her on some drips and in a couple of hours had her airlifted over to Las Vegas! Talk about a fun afternoon. Here's the machine showing her 128 heartbeat while she was lying in the bed.
She's been in the hospital in Vegas for a week now. They said she had excess fluid in her lungs and worked to drain that. That took two or three days; then they finally got her to a place where they could address her real problem: atrial fibrillation or AFib. It is when your heartbeat is either racing or flashing back and forth between normal and superfast. She has had a procedure for that and we are hoping she can come home today. Our daughter came out to see her and is going to bring her home if she gets released.
All that makes for a fun month. However, I've been driving into Vegas every day to see her. It's a lovely drive, going in through the pass over the mountains and coming down is just great going either way. I'm kind of a close-to-the-speed-limit guy so I mostly stay in the right lane and let the speeders have the left. There are plenty of speeders for sure. And plenty of way-too-loud motorcycles. I did even once get passed by a state patrol cruiser - not blue lights just wanting to get home I guess.
Here's a photo of a slightly overcast sky.
See, it's not always sunny in Nevada! No rain of course. But then we also get views like this.
Gotta go. Can't see wifie come home to the mess I've made of the house! Take care. Thanks for stopping by and keep washing those hands!
