I don't feel up to writing all of my friends individually so I'll just send a blanket update to all.
Despite my recent hospitilization and DC cardioversion, I woke up this morning in high rate flutter again.
My local cardiologist is at the beach, my primary physician is in South Carolina, and my EP from ATL is in Augusta, GA, at the Masters. Just my luck.....it's spring break in my neck of the woods.
Needless to say, I have no idea what's next. My EP's nurse is pretty much convinced that after checking with my EP that I'll soon be back in ATL for a repeat cardioversion, and installation of a more suitable pacer/ICD to better meet my needs. I've also started taking coumadin which at 33 years old, am not completely excited about.
I had an awesome day yesterday, am bracing myself to feel like crap for the duration until we figure out what's next, and just feel extremely grateful for yesterday ( I felt amazing.....and I guess it was the calm before the storm) .
One just never knows what the next day brings.
Live each day to it's fullest, folks. That's what I always try to do.

Ya'll take care, and I'll be on when I can.
Behave yourselves,
Angelie
