Today was my target date to publish this month's blog post online, but I have been VERY busy this week, trying to deal with several pressing matters that need my attention, sooner than later, and there's only so many hours in a day.
One of the current challenges is that my heart is acting up a lot right now, which is potentially dangerous, mostly because it is also doing a lot of atrial fibrillation, and therefore must be dealt with right away. A normal blood pressure is considered to be around 120/80, and a normal pulse around 60 - 100 beats per minute.
Yesterday I was very pale and felt very weak-- almost flu-like; like I could easily faint. I check my blood pressure at home, and these were my readings yesterday, along with the monitor screen also displaying the symbol for heart arrhythmia with each reading:
82/44
94/56 with 105 pulse
105/63 with 103 pulse
89/48
111/66
I still feel rather shaky, after yesterday-- not fully recovered from that struggle my heart was going through, and my blood pressure readings are only marginally better today, with the monitor screen continuing to show the symbol for heart arrhythmia, which is a serious condition that can lead to heart attack, stroke, or even death.
I don't have these health issues crop up every day, thankfully, and I am really sad that my arrhythmia is back because it disappeared several months ago and had not troubled me for a while.
Because of trying to recover more fully, and hopefully end the heart fibrillations, as well as accomplish more things on my 'To Do List' that need doing ASAP, I have decided to aim for publishing this month's blog post next Wednesday instead, at the latest, if not sooner.
If a post doesn't occur, at some point, when I haven't provided you with any explanation or information about that, it may mean that a health issue of some kind, or something else, has rendered me unable to write my blog post(s) anymore; at least for a while.
I am 68 now, so every day I live I must hold the precious privilege of life on earth with an open hand.
Thank you for your understanding.
I appreciate your readership throughout these 6 years that I have written this blog, which has readers in 70 countries around the world now. That always amazes me!
I would also appreciate any and all prayers that you offer on my behalf.
Thank you so much!
Deb
