my news

Things are quiet here now.
A couple of weeks ago we had some excitement.  Wilf was not feeling good at work shaking and throwing up.  His co worker called the amulance and I met him at emergency. After some tests it was determined that he was in atrial fibulation.  Two ways to fix it, stop the heart and when it restarts hopefully the rhythm reboots or drugs to change the rhythm. They decided on shock so they wired him up and I left. When they talked to me afterwards they said they shocked him 5 times and it had not changed.  So the drug route was on. After 4 hours his heart converted and was back in rhythm.  They kept over  night and he is doing great now, on blood thinners but no side effects.  When I was talking to mom, that is what she has also. Pretty scary but ok now.  The medical folks were amazing, looked after him and me too!  One of the nurses came in when Wilf and were sitting there and talking, his rate was 140 and I said nice that after 30 years I can get your heart racing. She thought we were so cute.
I am not sure when we became that cute couple, but it is ok, better than the grumpy old couple.
