Sweet Relief
4.21.2020
Today was a roller coaster day. I had a slow morning followed by an even slower afternoon. One thing was not slow: my heart.
I started noticing late Monday that when I walked up a flight of stairs my heart was pounding. When I exercised this morning-a particularly short, easy regime-I had to stop several times because it was pounding so hard. As the day wore on my heart kept on. It was only when I was moving around but it was a change.
My mind began leaping to unpleasant places. I didn’t want to call my doctor because I might have to go to the hospital for testing. I did not want to be at the hospital during a pandemic! I called anyway.
Thankfully, there’s no cause for panic. Sometimes this happens. I get to relax at home. No extra tests, no hospital, no worries. Whew!
Now, I can bask in the sweet relief of staying home. Quite suddenly, I feel better than I’ve felt in weeks! I cut Paul’s hair. The shingles and their side effects are 100% gone. My spirits are high and I’m getting a little more energy each day. Life is good.
