Stressful couple of weeks

[posiepurrs]

Week before last my husband fell and I was asleep when I heard him go down. I jumped up and started running to him. I fell ( face planted on the wood floor). Anyway, he went by ambulance to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t even think about getting checked out- dumb, I know. We are both on blood thinners. Other than being sore we were fine. This week, I was having problems with my atrial fibrillation. It ended up I passed out and was taken by ambulance to the ER. Turns out, my heart was pausing during the A fib trying to reset itself. They had a difficult time getting it regulated. I was admitted for observation due to the medicine they gave me. Evidently it isn’t widely used and needs close supervision when first started. It was a real pain because my husband isn’t well enough yet to stay by himself. His therapist arranged for him to come to the hospital and stay. He was in the ER while I was moved upstairs. My son and his wife took care of the pets. Luckily, I responded so well I was only in for a day and a half instead of the 3 days I was told at first. I am so happy to be home!!

All is well that ends well. But this was surely something you, your husband, your family (so glad they could step in to care for the cats!) and the fur family members could have done without. Be safe, stay calm, keep warm. And know we are all sending good thoughts and fond wishes to you all.

Oh my, you have had more than your share of troubles especially at the start of the new year. I'm so sorry this happened to your husband and you. Thankfully your son and D-I-L stepped in to help with the pets since I know you have a dog also. Sending prayers and healing vibes to your DH and you. So glad you're home and can recuperate with the animals by your side.

Gosh I’m so glad you are both ok!

I am sorry you are having such a bad time of it. I am glad you are both on the mend. How scary.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. What a dreadful way to start the year. But thank goodness it all worked out, your family were able to look after your pets, and you responded well to the medicine. Sending purrs and good vibes your way. Get well soon.

How scary for you both. I am so glad you're both on the mend, and very happy you had family to care for the pets so you didn't have to worry. Stay well!!

How are you feeling since you've been home? And how is your husband doing since his fall?

We are both doing okay, I guess. I am still getting tired quicker than I want to. I am worried that unless I get a pacemaker or have ablation this might slow me down. I am pushing my husband to work harder on his rehab so he will be able to stay home and care for the pets if I have to go back into the hospital again.
