Back to Normal

Mom's appointment was a no-frills affair today, and the report was very positive: her heartrate is down to a steady 72 (though it does dip into the 60s) and, most importantly, is nice and regular: no more arrythmia or flutter. This has led to reduced swelling and increased energy, and it's good to hear that the changes are staying in place.

Got her back to Maryville just in time for dinner, and lined up a Thursday appointment with Dr. Unger to see if we can't reduce the prescribed diuretics since those seem to be keeping her up most of the night (she finds herself getting up 4-6 times a nice on her current dosage). More on that as it develops.

I'll probably also take some of Thursday to continue work on the ramp, so if anyone would like to lend a hand and has the time, please let me know.

Also, if anyone is swinging by a Walgreen's, Mom needs some of those disposable floss holders that look sorta like this:


I was going to grab some but didn't get a chance today, so if you have a moment and can grab a pack, let me know and I'll get you some cash (I'm looking at you, Gary/Bill/Grace). :)
