Post Family Day
I should have titled the above blogging. It should have been Family Day. I forgot!
Family Day was a surprising day of respite. Felt lovely to have a surprise 3 day weekend. My family comes this coming weekend for a visit. We will be a houseful of love. I soooo look forward to them being here.
Life has changed! I can hardly believe it. I had an unsuccessful cardio version a couple of weeks ago and have been taken off a major medication is preparation for another ablation. Being off Dronedarone is a blessing! My heart is beating too fast, thus the need for the ablation. But the Dronedarone was not doing it's job so Dr. Crystal took me off and I feel waaaaay better! Not as many naps. More energy. Better spirits. Yaaaay for getting of medication that is not doing it's job.
I actually do not FEEL like an ablation is unnecessary and am tempted to skip it. However, just adjusting to a fast heart beat isn't the answer either. So I will listen to the doctor I trust entirely and listen to myself as all unfolds. I want to be able to take care of Clo, should the cancer take over again for her. Thus far she is tired and in some pain, but largely doing well. We are taking care of each other, as my mother used to say about her and my father. Good job!
Take care of your beloved. That is what life's journey is about: love, care, safety, belonging, being wanted, feeling connected to more than yourself. Be intentional and mindful about saying and doing things to help your beloved feel secure with you. Take a big breath. Let it out slowly. Think: what would s/he like me to do that I haven't done in awhile? An extra big hug? A warm bubbly bath together? Nice music and a glass of wine? A walk in the woods? .......something easy and loving and fun. Be intentional.
Email or phone me. I love to talk. Especially now that I feel so much better. Hugs, Nancy
