Tablets Don't Seem to Be Working

Similar to yesterday not a great deal occurred today as the doctors only come in on Sundays in the case of an emergency. One thing that did happen is Judy's heart was not responding to the heart tablets she started yesterday as she had spells where her atrial fibrillation (AF) stayed around for long periods of time. This is effectively the technical term for her heart beating irregularly which in her case is beating far quicker than normal giving the effect she is running a marathon even though she is resting. The result of this is she is extremely tired which makes it very difficult if she has a large number of visitors as she tires extremely quickly. This was confirmed again today by me not getting to the hospital until 3pm and finding that she spend 99% of the time that I was there a sleep.

I will write again tomorrow by which time hopefully the tablets are being more successful and her heart begins to beat normally as the AF places huge amounts of strain on her heart.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP
