Are we there Yet?

I am ready to get life back to normal. Being down for a week takes it's toll. I still can't fathom what this has done to me. I keep saying to myself I am just fine. Just exhausted all the time. I can get up and do little things like do a load of laundry. I feel very productive after doing that. I can straighten up the house. I can't vaccum yet. Maybe in the next few days I can without tiring out. It sounds so silly just typing it out.

I even took a bath today. Carl wasn't happy that I did it by myself at home. But it made my legs feel a WHOLE lot better. I also don't have an open wound. It's just black from the heart cath and very sore. They didn't want me to swim or anything for a week. Today I hit my week mark and I did just fine soaking it.

I am hoping to go into work and try and get out of the house for a little tomorrow. I am starting to have cabin fever a little, I think. I have gotten dressed for a little bit each day. That helps too. I started doing research on heart attacks/pulmunary hypertension/cardiac spams and reading the books they sent me home with. There isn't much information on cardiac spams (what they thought I had originally). I have a follow up Monday afternoon so I am sure the dr will be able to explain more.

I am enjoying watching the Olympics, I missed gymnastics last night because I got sick again but I did catch a little of the track and field today and the river rafting thing. I have very much enjoyed most of it.

We have also officially met all of our neighbors. I had a rough last night -so this morning I wasn't in a hurry to get up. I guess I didn't hear the phone ring. Karen my neighbor kiddy corner from me came over to see if I was okay! They have been awsome. But I feel kinda silly! I hope things get back to normal soon for the most part. I am ready to get back to work, but I don't know if my body is! Here's hoping!
