What a difference a day makes.Last Friday I was driving to work, all my sewing supplies in the car because I was to attend a weekend quilt retreat after work. My heart started racing, my arms and lips went numb. I started to black out, reached up and hit the On-Star Emergency button. They called an ambulance, dialed my husbands office and dialed my work. They were fabulous and I won't be without them.
I was diagnosised with A-Fib, on heart meds and blood thinners. My how your life can change in one moment.
Thankful to be alive. Meds are making me so tired, Cardiologist says I will get used to them and I won't be so tired. I'm going back to work Thursday. Hoping I can make it through the day.

Good morning Shirley, I am so sorry to hear this but so glad you handled it so well and you are ok. I missed your Pink Saturday post and now I know why. Rest and take care of yourself. Saying a prayer for you.
Oh, Shirl...I am so sorry you had to go through this. It's frightening. But I'm glad you are on medication now...that it was caught. Take care of yourself.
XO,

Oh wow, I am so glad you got help quickly. You will be in my prayers. Yes, please take it easy and take time for you!

Shirl,
So happy to hear that you are alright. Will they be starting you on Coumadin as a blood thinner or a Baby Aspirin a day? Any other cardiac meds? Be sure to take them as prescribed and don't skip any dosages.
Okay, that was the nurse in me talking!! LOL!!
Take care, my friend!!
Hugs,
Debbie

Oh Shirl thank God for on star, glad your o.k. and good thing you did not hesitate to push that button quickly befor you blanked out completely. Yes it's definately time for Shirl. God bless you,Hugs, Pearl
Goodness. what a shock! My DH has atrial fib...has had it for about 15 years...if under control is usually labeled as "nuisance" rather than worse cardio probs. Stress does make it worse, so....Chill! :)
