Oh my Heart...

I thought I would just give all 3 of my readers an update on my health condition. I woke up last night to a horrible pain in my chest and in my back. My loving husband, thought maybe it was indigestion and I lovingly told him, no dear, it is not indigestion. So he called the Dr. at about 5am and she said it didn't sound life threatening, and I am thinking how could she know that by just talking over the phone. You know, I think I could be a Dr. and diagnose people over the phone, since I do work in a hospital I have learned alot about the heart, so maybe I should be a surgeon...oh well, I will save that for another day.
Okay, let me get back to the matter at hand, now what was I talking about...oh I remember, me, yes that's right I was talking about me...So after that very educated person talked to my wonderful loving husband, I tried to go back to sleep, but it was a bit of a challenge since I had a PAIN IN MY CHEST! HELLO!! I dosed off and on till about 8am and then I needed to get up because I had to go to the Dentist, but I ended up cancelling that appointment. So then I decided to call my Dr. and fill her in on what was going on with my list chest pain that I was having. Her advice was to go to the ER...well I didn't really like that option , but I had a few people that hog tied me and took me against my will. So now it is 5 hours and one big fat ER bill later, I was told by another very educated person, I really don't know what is causing your pain. So it was a waste of a day and money.
There is one good thing that has come out of this day, and that is the heart monitor that I wore for 2 1/2 weeks showed that I have a rapid heart beat and I am being put on medication for this problem and I will have to cut out caffeine. The whole caffeine thing just about gave me a heart attack! So I am hoping that this is the answer to my problems, well at least to my heart problems. I think I need a really big pill for all the other problems in my life.

Summertime...

I have to say that my favorite season of the year is summer and I love it because it is warm and usually sunny and the grass is green and there are beautiful flowers. I love the way the mulch smells first thing in the morning with the morning dew on it, it makes me think about Fort Wilderness at Disney World. I love that it stays light outside till almost 10pm, thanks to daylight savings time. I love to go to the beach and waterparks, being able to lay out and work on my very much needed tan.
Well, there are some other things that come with summer, and that is school break....yes, that's right the children are home and not just my own children, but every child in the neighborhood. So interesting how I was only given 4 children, but yet it seems like I have so many more, like maybe 10 or 15. The reason for that is because the neighbor kids think it is so much fun to hang out at our house, even though every other house has a pool and a trampoline, and all we have is a swing set with 4 swings and a slide. I had a friend come babysit the other day and she asked, "Am I going to be watching 4 kids or 10?" So I guess you can say that there is some negative things to having a summertime, so I am hoping that August 20 comes soon!
This week has been pretty good, because the kids have been going to a VBS at a local church and I have had 3 glorious hours to myself every morning this week, and next week I am sending half of my kids to camp, so that is something I am looking forward too. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but honestly absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?...

Long Time No Blog...

I can't believe it has been over a month since I blogged. So much has happened since I last blogged, i am not sure where to even begin.
I guess I will start with my new job. I am sure many of you have been wondering what is going on with my new job. Well, it was a very rocky start, by day 3 I was ready to turn in my resignation. This job is one of the most stressful things I have every done. I mean, giving birth without having an epideral was a piece of cake compared to the work that I am doing now!
Well, 6 weeks later and I still giving it my all, and actually as much as I don't want to admit it, I am actually enjoying my job. Wait a minute, did I just say I like my job...something must be wrong with me, I am enjoying my job, I think I am losing my mind!
The next thing that has happened in my life is a physical challenge. I believe I had blogged before about being diagnosed with Hypoglycemia, well, there is a possibility that I don't have a problem with my sugar. I have had a problem with fainting spells and not feeling quite up to speed. I tend to get worn out quickly and feel shakey alot of the time. So I decide to go see the Dr. about this little problem, and come to find out, my heart may be the answer to my physical problems.
I have been thru a few tests and still have yet to have any answers to my health mystery. I am currently wearing what is called an Event heart monitor. This little device it to record anything that my heart does abnormally. I am hoping that this little gadget will be the answer to all my questions.
Well, that is pretty much all that has been going on in my life, see how exciting my life is...
Don't worry, my kids just started their summer break today, so trust me I will have something more to blog about in time.
