that the one closest to her place is delivering lots of smoke.
We had smoke from the Black Forest fire, but the wind must be
blowing such that our air is quite clear.
I had a blip in my recovery. I have been diagnosed with
ventricular tachycardia. That essential means if I don't get it
under control it'll cause death without warning. I did drive
home from the doctor, but shall not drive again until and if and
when it gets fixed.
I am to have a procedure, heart catheterization, to be done on
Tuesday the 25th of June. At that time it is hoped to find that
the by-pass has collapsed. In which case a stent will be
inserted and the situation will be remedied. If that isn't the
problem a defibrillator will be installed, but at another time.
Sooner than later, however.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed. Things had been going
so well at rehab, it was hard to believe that anything was wrong.
However, I now find myself quite short of breath, just walking
around the yard. I do a lot of deep breathing to keep my blood
oxygen level up.
In the meantime, I am enjoying the fine weather and being
thankful we have moved from the mountains so that one area of
concern does not exist down here. We could have a grass fire but
hopefully it would be put out long before it reached us.
I worry about my friends in the mountains, especially, Betty, who
is living alone in the midst of a forest. I hope that she will
be safe.
