This Clockwork Heart

I think I may have finally found the right combination of meds to keep my heart under something resembling control. My blood pressure has stopped doing crazy things, and my heart has (mostly) quit trying to run marathons on its own. I am extremely grateful for the pacemaker, since it’s keeping my heart rate from plummeting down to nothing, and I can finally take meds strong enough to keep the tachycardia at bay without resorting to ablations or surgery. Although it is kind of strange to feel the pacer going off and on sometimes. I don’t always feel it, but sometimes the transition is just… odd. Not enough to really mind it though. 

I’m pretty happy with things at the moment, hopefully my doctors will be too. Hopefully there won’t be much further sign of arrhythmia when they interrogate the pacer.  If I have to wear another heart monitor I may hurt someone.  Everything will be perfect. :D

I’ve pretty much been a couch potato since this whole thing started in November, but I’ve finally set plans into motion so I can start to get things back to normal. I know I’ll have to start slowly to build my stamina back up, but thus far I’m looking into: school, volunteering, ballet and belly dance. And also work. 

Umm… what was that I was saying about taking things slowly? Haha. Oops. I may not be so good about that bit.
