Update on mom - day 2

Well, good news emerged last night.  She was able to keep sinus rhythm and her heart was finally starting to come around.  He said there were several things happening at one that caused this.  Anyway, if she is was a good girl she MIGHT be able to come home today (yes, I am typing this at 4:30 in the dang morning).

But, Tom went up last night to see her and they went for a stroll and she became too winded to continue the stroll.  Now, I don't know what they are going to do since you really need to have enough breath to breathe while walking.  I heard bad things happen when you stop breathing while walking - not really sure if they are just old wives tales or not :) 

I will check on her and probably leave work a smidgen earlier than expected today.  I don't know what will happen.  I wonder if he will send her home with Oxygen for a little while.  Not sure.

I can't believe I am up - still very sleepy.  But, last night after dinner I started to get the dreadful heartburn that I have been getting since losing weight.  So, I took a prilosec to help the problem.  Well, I put the pill in my mouth and went to take a drink - cup empty.  So, I quickly went to the kitchen to get more tea, all the while with a pill sitting on my tongue.  I drank about 8 oz and the nasty little pill is now stuck in my throat. Keep in mind this was about 8:30 last night and it is now 4:30 am and it is still stuck.  I just read on the Internet to either eat a piece of bread or a spoonful of peanut butter to help it go down.  I am getting ready to try this - I want one more hour of sleep, not that it would do me a lot of benefit.  But, dang it I am tired and I have a full day ahead of me.

Off to get a midnight - I mean 4 am feeding of peanut butter sandwich.  Yum yum!!
