As
I said before I had my stress test which showed blockage. Therefore, it was decided by the doctors
(three of them) that I needed to have a heart cath to see how much blockage I
had, and to determine whether or not I needed stints. Well, on Tuesday I had my heart cath, and
believe it or not they DID NOT FIND ANY BLOCKAGE! Which is really good
news. The cardiologist said my heart and
arteries were clean. Okay, so what is
going on? I then spent the next 36 hours
sleeping off the medicine they gave me to do the cath. I was told not to do anything for 72
hours. I have a few more hours to
go. The cath was done thru my right arm
and that arm is black and blue. I get to
take the wrapping off tonight.
Miss
Penny was totally confused because I was in bed, and this is not normal. She kept coming in and trying to play and
wake me up. For a while I closed my
bedroom door so she could not get in, and that confused her even more. She is much happier since I am up and about.
Not
sure what the next step will be. I have
a hunch it will be pulmonary testing since I still am short of breath. This morning while it was still on the cool
side with a little breeze I went outside and picked up twigs which came off the
trees when we had our last couple of storms.
I thought I would do this to help Kevin since he plans to mow the grass
today. By next week I should be able to
mow grass and start weeding my garden. I
was told to treat my right arm like my wrist was broken. I picked up the twigs and weeded around my
snowball bush and now I am exhausted.
I
filled the birdfeeders before the cath, and am enjoying the birds again. Penny and I love watching the birds. I have a lot of finches; purple, yellow, and
many cardinals. Of course, there are a
lot of birds I’m not sure about. I do
know the sparrows and bluebirds. The
purple martin house is full. I am
assuming there are a lot of babies because the birds are flying back and forth,
and it looks like they are feeding them.
Penny
doesn’t know which window to look out.
Kevin mowed the back grass after he got home from work yesterday, so, of
course, she was at the back windows watching him. She just went from window to window. Between Kevin and birds she was extremely
busy. This morning he was using the
weedeater so she was busy again going from window to window to front storm
door. Kevin isn’t outside right now so
she is taking a nap to get ready for the next go round.
