First of all, thanks for all the well wishes. It does lift my spirits to hear from everybody.
Update: I am having one of the worst days ever. First of all, the shock this morning did its work and I'm back in regular heart rythym but feeling totally drained and exhausted. Then, pulling out of the parking lot at the medical office building I hit a post with my passenger side view mirror, which broke and swung into the side window and shattered it. Did I mention it's raining? So, I pulled into my local Tires Plus, knowing they don't do body work but to ask them to just seal it up with plastic so the rain doesn't come in. I am very short on ready cash and my credit card is close to the limit so I don't know how I'm going to get this fixed. I don't know how I could have been so stupid and inattentive - I didn't even see the post, which was tilted out into the lane anyway. Poor Bubba had to be locked into the bathroom until the exterminator finished. I put him in there before I went out with his food, litter tray and blanket. He really cried to get out, poor guy. Now I'm home and you probably won't hear from me the rest of the day.
This will be a short one for today. I've been feeling poorly with all kinds of heart irregularities for the past month. I saw the doc yesterday and had my defibrillator checked and some settings updated. He changed my meds and put me back on something that worked in the past (Amiodarone) and I was to take the first dose this morning. At 6:00 am my defibrillator delivered a shock, waking me up with a yell. It's an upsetting thing to have happen, but I have to say that at this moment I feel better than I have in weeks. I'm back in regular rythym I guess. I'll go in to the office when it opens to be checked out. I'm actually glad it happened. By the way - that stuff about it feeling like a kick in the chest are not true. It feels like an electrical shock - just what it is. The pain is momentary and minimal. Makes you jump and let out a yelp, but it's over in less than a second. Wierd feeling.
Anyhow - Gale will be here at 8 to clean. I've showered and am ready to get dressed. Then it's off to see the doc at 9. Who knows about the rest of the day. I'll find a way to notify everyone if I have to go to the hospital, but it's unlikely that will happen.
I hope to be back with an update around noon. Love you all! 
Hope all goes well and at least we'll know where you are`Take care dear friend. Just had to comment. |
I am so thankful you have that thing to give you the jolt when you need it. I do hope that did the trick and you will now be on track to getting back to normal. {{{{{{SUPER HUGE HUGS}}}}}} V |
Take care! |
Oh boy. I am so glad for the miracles of medicine. I second Veevee on this! Will check back in on you later. *hugs* |
(((hugs))) I'll be checking on you later if the power holds up. |
((((Claire))))) take care! |
Looking forward to hearing more good things later in the day :) |
Hope you feel better soon Claire! Lots of love and hugs. |
Well thank goodness you have the defibrillator even if it is momentarily uncomfortable. Hope you are feeling better and maybe stay in normal rhythm now Good to get checked by your Dr take care |
I realy hope you feel better soon Big hugs, and lots of love <3 |
Glad to hear the shock helped! It seems so scary to need a shock, but the alternative is much worse. Modern medicine is pretty amazing. |
It's so good to know your defibrillator works. Maybe the beat will stay normal now. Healing thoughts being sent your way. |
Whoa, that's a heck of a way to be awakened! But if you feel better now than you did before, guess it was worth it! Good luck at the doc's. |
you are in my thoughts claire hope you get better soon thinking of you dear friend h x |
**hugs** If the post is tilted out into the lane it's possible that the post owner is responsible for the damages since it's not where one should expect a post to be. For the moment just sealing it with plastic will work. You don't have to repair it until you get a "fix it" ticket. |
oh dear, what a day. ((((claire)))) good thinking when you asked the nice people at the tire store to help with a quick fix. |
He will provide the means. (((((Claire)))))) |
Claire, I just happened to think this might be a blessing in disguise. If the window that has been leaking, they might get the leak fixed at the same time they fix the broken window. Good thinking on smwhipple's part to suggest it might be the pole owner's responsibility to repair you window considering. I would certainly check into it, the sooner the better. Was there anyone there when it happened? Do take care of yourself this afternoon and get some much needed rest. Know you are loved and cared about. {{{{{{SUPER HUGE HUGS}}}}}} V |
I'm sorry you had such a rough day. This too shall pass. Rest and take care of yourself. Having a broken window isn't great but doesn't necessarily need to be addressed immediately. Good luck with it. |
Sorry you are having a not-so-good day and not feeling well. I hope you start feeling better soon. |
Don't forget a police report is necessary if you claim for the mirror. Take care and Good Luck! God Bless.

Sarah Acuna UPDATE: for those that are close to Claire you know I'm her daughter... She is in the hospital right now, she will most likely be in through the weekend. I will try to post on here wall as more info becomes availble. Right now she is getting care and hopefully rest. |
veevee thanks for letting us know please keep us posted , thinking of you all xx |
Thanks for updating us! I will be thinking of you and Claire! |
FROM CLAIRE'S WALL ON FACEBOOK (please pass this on to all Claire's friends you know): "Sarah Acuna Good morning all. The car will be taken care of. Luckily my friend Ian (he posted above) has a lot of experience working with cars. He is going to take care of getting that replaced, it will be done before she gets out of the hospital. Some guys at a local tire place put plastic and tape on it for her, which was nice because she just asked them for advise on who to call.I will be going to see her shortly, I'll post again when I have more news." |
((((((((((claire)))))))) feel better soon! |
Claire hope you are feeling much better. In case you don't recognize the name it's rockinmama. I've been gone a year but now am back with a new start. Hope you are up and about very soon and back to your old self. Carol |
Claire......you certainly do get everyone in an uproar when you disappear. We are so accustomed to seeing your post as the first post. When you aren't posting we get worried. I hope everything is ok and that you are home safe and sound very soon. |
You are in my prayers, Claire. Kelly Jeanne |
You just get some rest and take care of yourself.
