Are you doing any self healing work silver? Well, what is your idea of self-healing work? I do my best to do all the normal things like get plenty of rest, calming myself with mindfulness/meditation. Anything really that involves attending one's ailments / weaknesses in a more natural / holistic way . I find meditation helps in many ways but I find that within the meditation zone so much more can be accomplished just by creating a focus . Something that has just come to mind was a medium / healer called betty shine . I remember looking her up about 15 years ago and she wrote a few books on mind healing one was called mind magic if my memory serves me correctly and she speaks about how to heal self with mind . I resonated with much of what she said at the time although I only skimmed the surface of her ways of working / healing . For myself I use a lot of mind magic in my healing work . This way of working may be of some interest to you .

I went to a gp yesterday and told her I thought I had cellulitis - a skin infection - on the leg that was operated on during the open-heart surgery. She examined me and gave me an antibiotic for it. I suspect that I've had more than just the 2 bouts with it a while back, but hospital staff and gp's seemed not to know how to examine and/or test for it. It's going to be a part of my complaint - just got my letter today assigning me a case manager. The extreme lethargy from being sick from that and a-flutter was starting to get on my nerves.

For anyone interested, I've been dealing with what they call 'a-flutter' since early November - visited my heart doc's assistant yesterday - did an ekg - I'm definitely in a-flutter still which I knew. On 24th of December, I put in a complaint about the er doc etc. I've been referred to a heart specialist for evaluating me for a treatment called an ablation. Ablation is done when the heart's electrical system goes a bit haywire, resulting in a-fibrillation (a-fib) and a-flutter. It's scheduled for the 20th of this month. Fwiw, mindfulness keeps me on an even keel. Did it happen silver?

I saw the specialist today, and he said my heart is still in a-flutter, and that the ablation procedure can probably fix that for me. Within the next two weeks, he said someone will call me to schedule it.
(I often brag about my mindfulness, but when I have the heart problems bother me at night combined with my noisy upstairs neighbor, things can and do often fall apart.)

It's normal, these are difficult things . But you should continue to brag, you are doing well I think!

Got my 5th cardioversion early this morning -- went to the ER about 3:30 a.m. -- My a-flutter was a-flirting with the a-fib.

It seems like yesterday but it's been four whole days since my 5th cardioversion. My fatigue is so deep that I don't sleep all that well; last night I thought I'd try sleeping without my Tylenol pm and it didn't pan out so very well, but now it's morning (6:30) and the sun's coming up -- can't see it yet, but the sky is a pale aqua backdrop to some gray clouds that have turned into salmon-y pink lovelies. I had the heebee-jeebies when I first woke up, felt anxious until I thought 'what's wrong with me? Oh, it's just the heebe-jeebies of not having a whole lot of energy - yet - to do the many things I want/need to do around here. I felt I had to write this down as sort of a diary entry, to remind myself, and as my grandma would've said "This too shall pass."

And hope you'll remember this kind of things if you can't sleep well again : ) ----- During a visit to the mental asylum, Nasrudin asked the director, "how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?" "Well," said the director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said Nasrudin.. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No..." said the director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

It's been almost a week since the 5th cardioversion and even with other challenges to getting enough restful sleep (sinus condition mainly), my legs no longer feel like rubber and that makes me happy. The deep fatigue is fading slowly, but it is fading! I don't know why, but when I opened the curtains this morning to a totally gray sky, it made me happy. I guess it felt like 'ah, no need to push yourself' or something like that.
A gray day can be just what the doctor ordered I am the gray day.

This was a gray day, too (few days ago) and I was happy, too : ) Glad that fatigue is passing.

Oh, just wanted to share something: For the past couple a weeks, I've been watching MIB III over and over; it's more inspirational every time I watch it.
