A Stowaway?

Guess who made the trip from Michigan with us? That dreaded atrial fibrillation monster. This was not completely unexpected as I am tapering off of my heart meds in preparation for the ablation procedure on Friday. It was, as always, an unwelcome guest in the early hours this morning. To my surprise my heart converted back to normal within an hour or so without the extra meds. I had been AF free since a cardioversion in mid November which was a great stretch compared to weekly and/or long lasting episodes before.

We spent most of the day hanging around the hotel. Melinda picked up some kind of nasty stomach flu and we are praying it is the 24-hour variety. I went to a nearby Safeway store for groceries and 7-up for her. I had to park in the area marked "compact only" because it was so busy. My Chevy Malibu rental car barely fit in between a BMW and a Range Rover!

If you think of it, please pray for a speedy recovery for Melinda. Tomorrow starts to get a little busier with a visit to the hospital lab for a blood test and I sure could use her support.

Side note: I started this blog in the Eastern time zone so I will continue to use that time zone for the posts even while in California.

Take care everyone.
