Happy anniversary to mom and dad. They have been married for 72 years today. I trust they are celebrating on the other side. I sure miss them.
I went to the Cardiologist this afternoon. He isn’t sure what is going on so ordered a bunch of tests to be done. They did an EKG today and it didn’t show anything strange. The Heart Center in Topeka is to call me soon to get them all scheduled. He wants me to wear a monitor for at least two weeks so it can capture one of my episodes. I have to do the nuclear exercise treadmill stress test and a Echocardiogram. He said he has some ideas what is going on but he needs facts before he can come up with a treatment plan. He did tell me not to take the Beta Blocker for now.
The last time I had the stress test done it was done in Emporia. The Cardiologist wasn’t impressed then with how they did it and asked if I would drive to Topeka this time. I’m hoping the three things can be taken care of in one visit but we shall see. Not sure when they might be calling me to get things scheduled. As of now I am still planning on going to Stillwater tomorrow but we decided to take two cars so I can come home early if needed. I have to go to Topeka tomorrow for my thyroid ultrasound – it would be nice if some of this could happen then but not counting on it.
The bug guys came today to spray for wood bees. They also sprayed inside the house as they hadn’t sprayed for a long time. It will be nice to sit on the deck and not get dive bombed by wood bees.
The new wall oven finally got here today. It is the wrong size! Damn it! I have a call into Best Buy to see what my options are. They went ahead and hooked it up and he told me I could use it. Not sure why they would take it back if I use it but I trust him I guess. There is a 45 minute wait for the help desk and they are to call me when it is my turn.
It was nice sleeping with the windows open last night. It got down to the low 60’s and it was nice and cool. It has warmed up today to almost 90 but so far we have left the A/C off. We will turn it back on tomorrow before we leave.
I handled three calls last night on the Crisis Text Hotline. Had to get my Supervisor involved with one as it was a mandatory reporting type of case. I never know what the final outcome of those cases are. The other two were routine calls that were fairly easy to handle. It amazes me how their system works to help get people calmed down. I don’t panic now when I get a person that is suicidal. I do worry that I will miss something and not react enough but I can only deal with the information the client gives me. I have another shift tonight.
I need to finish getting the house cleaned for the house sitter that is coming to stay while we are in Stillwater. I warned her that my schedule may change and I might have to be here part of the time. I’ll see when my appointments get scheduled and go from there.
Grateful for a caring Cardiologist who is curious, grateful the wood bees are gone, and grateful for the cool sleeping weather last night.
