I am at the hospital at the sleep clinic. I have about an hour before they come in and hook me up to their equipment. Fingers crossed I will be able to sleep tonight.
I was in Emporia at 8:45 this morning. We had a full schedule and were short one volunteer today. Had trouble logging on to start the day but after about 15 minutes that got resolved and we were able to get to work.
I had to leave at 10:30 for my doctor’s appointment. I got checked in at 10:45 and got called back almost immediately. I was out of there at 11:15. I am going to reduce one of my two blood pressure medications as my blood pressure has been going too low. Struggling to maintain balance! I can alternate dosage as needed. I have a cardiologist appointment in May so hoping he will have some answers as to why my heart rate is still too fast. The fast heart rate started all of a sudden the first part of August and has never totally resolved. They can’t find what caused it so they aren’t sure what to do about it. Wonder if I need a heart specialist of some sort to think of other options?
Went back to taxes and helped them finish up. Got out of there at 12:45 which is not too bad considering we were short a volunteer today.
Stopped at the Grand to have lunch and then went home. I was hoping the owner would be there as I need to talk to her about something but she was gone today. I need to remember to call her.
Didn’t do much this afternoon. I am tired so hoping I can sleep tonight. I purposely didn’t take a nap so the odds will be in my favor that I can sleep tonight.
I got a call from my accountant that my taxes are done. Wow! This is the fastest she has ever turned them around. Not sure what the results are but I will pick them up tomorrow and find out. The Doctor called in some prescriptions for me and those are to be ready in the morning too. Not sure when I will be leaving the sleep clinic. If it is early, I may have to make another trip to town tomorrow.
No plans for the weekend. Next week I do taxes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so that will feel busy. I am also hosting a meeting at my house Saturday afternoon.
There is a camera in my room all night. How fun it must be to sit at a desk and watch the feed from the wires they hook me up to and listen to people snore. There is no call light and they have to unhook me to allow me to go to the bathroom. I am to holler if I need their assistance so I can get up. May be an entertaining night! If it is clear that I have sleep apnea she will come in and hook me up to a machine during the night.
Looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. This week went by quickly and it is time for some isolation time again. I sure do better when I get three of four quiet days a week.
Grateful for a quick doctor’s appointment so I could get back to help them finish up taxes for the day, grateful for sleep clinics and hopeful for some solutions to my poor sleep, and grateful my tax package is ready to be picked up.
