But I can’t work at all if I’m dead.

Tis true, but remember, even it's a little bit of extra money, it all helps, so if you went back to private duty, you may not be able to save up for that bit of land as quickly, but it would likely mean you'd be around to enjoy it! ;o)

I went into A-Fib again on Sat. morning, and am still there. But I don't have the weakness and clammy feeling I had the last time, so I haven't called the Doctor, because I just don't want to have to be stuck in the hospital and have to do another Cardiac Version. I've had this problem for years, and the A-Fib always went away before, so I'm seeing how long it takes to go away this time. I'm on Warfarin, so I know my anti-coagulant levels are good, so there's not much of a chance of throwing a clot, so that's why I'm comfortable waiting it out. Also, I want to prove that it can be done, because I'm going to MS in a couple of weeks, then to Perdido Key for a week in Sept., and I want to know that even if I go into A-Fib while I'm either place, that it will go away on it's own. I don't want to have to go into the hospital every time.

You know, I’m thinking I’ve even had runs of it...and that it seemed to be hormonally related and that sure enough, after a time it would go away on it it’s own.

Keep me posted.

And you’re right...I want to be around and I felt like death last night. All I wanted to do when I got home was sit.

I told Steve I wanted to be able to holler at my grandkids someday. I even made up a grandkid name...Jimmy Joe. I told him I want to holler “JIMMY JOE! QUIT CHASING THEM CHICKENS!” Or “JIMMY JOE! DON’T YOU GO DOWN IN THAT RAVINE!” (The ravine being where we put all the carcasses of our livestock that passes on...like from the heat or whatever...so the coyotes will take it off and maybe not mess with the living stock.)

Well that's not good - prayers and hugs and best wishes coming your way!
