GLAD I GOT TO MEET YA

Tribute to Bo Diddley 1928 - 2008

ACHY BREAKY HEART

Doing a little catching-up on my Blog since I've been so busy:

Quiet day here at work, thank goodness. Been working extremely hard in my new job as a Legal Document Specialist in a law firm and my brain is sore from all the input being injected into it! Haven't had time to pee in a pot! I AM however learning a LOT and if I should sink here, it will certainly prepare me for another law firm. But so far, so good. Didn't think I could do some of these advanced word processing applications, so kind of proud of myself being over a half century old~~~!!! Next week, I go on a 3pm to 11pm shift. Have to reconfigure how and when to eat lunch and dinner!

Since I experienced reoccuring Pericarditis symptoms pretty bad last weekend, I went back to the Cardiologist this last Wed, and she says "So how's XXX-medication working for you?"... I say "what? I'm not taking that medicine!" oh. She then informs me that they supposed to have given that to me when released from the hospital! OY VEY!

Anyway, I'm on it now (prevents irregular heart rhythm) and she changed my med for the Pericarditis. I already feel better, but it just relieves and doesn't necessarily make the virus causing this condition to go away. Says my actual heart is in A-OK (Oh really?) and it's just the outer lining that has this virus. They have no clue what causes this, but says it's more common than you think. Still, after my episode with Atrial Fibrollation and my stint in the hospital, excuse me if I don't feel totally assured that my heart is 'A-OK'!!

Tomorrow I am taking advantage of my health insurance and going for another Echocardiogram and after that then go for my eye exam and new prescription glasses, which I sorely need for this job. A lot of proofreading and legal terms!

So glad I did all my heavy duty work around my house these past few months before starting this job, like cleaning closets, moving furniture, and organizing. Makes it easy to get ready for work and nice to come home to a clean house at night. This year is in absolute contrast to last year - Last year, all physical and emotional work, and now, this year, all mental work. I've been so exhausted that I haven't even been on Ebay for months, but looking forward to getting back to that soon since I have TONS of inventory from mom's place and mine waiting to go to a good home. Oh, and coming soon, will be my Ebay listing for my hospital bracelets!! Yes! There are people who actually collect these damn things! What a hoot!

Just hope I can take Celine Dion's advice that my "My Heart Will Go On".....!!
