I spent a lot of my days at doctor offices I was not planning on doing.  I went for an echocardiogram.  Then the cardiologist and he did an EKG.
I thought he would say that nothing was wrong like last year.  However, he said my echo and EKG showed I was in AFIB. I had no earthly idea what that was at the time. I ended up on a calcium channel blocker and a blood thinner. I already take so much medicine. He asked what my goal was and I said not to have a stroke.
I went to the EP cardiologist yesterday, to see what I needed to have done to treat my AFIB.  
He recommended at ABLATION.
I also went for a sleep study, and I have moderate sleep apnea.  I'll have to get a device for that too.
Lastly, I need to see a nutritionist.  I have been doctored to death.
Forgive me being late on reading blogs.












                                            
Saw these silly skeletons on top of the van????



                Went to visit, clean, and put flowers on my mother and brother's grave.


Remember it was grandson's 25th birthday and took him out to dinner - with wife and little one.


The restaurant was called the Iberian Pig and it was a Tapas Bar.






And yes, this was my bite of octopus - I ate for my grandson.

Speaking of my grandson - he started a new job this month.  And it is all virtual.  He has an office at home.  He made and designed this all by himself and his room looks GREAT!  His computer is on the opposite side and when he is online - that is his background.




                                

Last year I was looking all over for these Evergreen trees. I could not find any by my home.  On the way to all my doctor visits - there they were in all their glory.  Ever spring around Easter - the top of the tree grows a top that looks like a cross.  It was beautiful.

Okay, I am done chatting - love, Chatty Crone.

Dear Sandie, so many doctor appointments and some unexpected results and recommendations.
Bless your heart.
Octopus is a food I have never tried and don't want to, it makes me squeamish.
LOL
Glad you got some time with your grandson.
Your bird illustration with the glasses at the end of your post made me laugh. I love it.
I will keep you in my prayers, dear friend.

Happy birthday to your grandson. He did a fantastic job for his work backdrop. When I worked for the bank we had bank options for our computer backdrops when working from home. They did not want to see anything else. So corporate. My husband has a Bi-pap machine. They even made him have a loop put in him for about 2 years because they thought he had AFIB. Hope all goes well for you. Janice
