Is it Nap Time Yet?

That has been my question of the day, daily for the past couple of weeks. Since my last doctors appointment, my minor Bronchitis and CHF has been plaguing me. I am always soo soo tired!! It's ridiculous! I nap whenever Isabella naps, in fact both of the kids are napping at this very moment but i decided to try and write up a short blog in silence. It seems like i can't do ANYTHING without feeling completely exhausted. And by Anything, i mean ANYTHING. I can't even do the dishes and take Sky to school without feeling like i need a nap. In fact i find myself taking a nap at least once daily. Today i only got like an hr tops, and then Isabella woke up. That really sucked. Usually she'll take like a 2 hr nap in the afternoons if she didn't take one in the morning. I'm betting it was the obnoxiously loud jackass neighbors that woke us up. Go figure huh?? To top it off, i'm having all these on again off again chest and upper abdomen pains. I really don't feel like going into the ER or anything over it, since it's not stopping me from my daily business per se. But still. It is affecting me. I go in and see the Cardiologist this coming Thursday for my Bi-Ventricular Pacemaker. I'm going to bring up to her all of the aches and pains and also the constant feeling of being Lethargic and Sore. It really sucks. I know that if i do feel really bad i could always go to the ER, hand them my Card and i would be admitted immediately because my records show CHF in the header. But i don't want to have to deal with that if it's not 100% necessary. I feel like garbage always. And this Bronchitis isn't helping in the slightest. My chest is sore from all of the coughing, i keep getting head aches and migraines from constantly coughing. The only up side to the bronchitis is that it has helped me tone my abdominal muscles. LOL. I know, very sad of me to even notice that, right? Because of my listelessness and everything i have checked my weight just out of curiosity, it's at 46 kg, or 101 lbs.....a bit lower than at my previous Cardiac appointment. I wonder what she is going to say about that? Also, i have been looking up information on Marfans Syndrome, and received a packet about it in the mail today. I was contemplating bringing it up to my Cardiologist and get some insight about it from her. I trust her whole heartingly. She has been my cardiologist since i was about 15 after all. I am really hoping that once this surgery happens i will start to feel loads better, and i hope that my SSI gets taken care of after this next surgery, I can't believe they've been stringing me on since last August. That's the Government for you i suppose......I had read about Marfans and it mentioned that nervous system issues branches from the syndrome, if that is true it might explain my Neuralgia....i have an appointment to see a neurologist a couple weeks after my pacemaker surgery, i'm going to talk to the doctor about the pervious medication i have been on for the neuralgia and see if there is more of a holistic approach we can take. Because the last medication i was on was really strong. Don't get me wrong, it did it's job and worked like a charm, But once i took it i was out for the night, unable to function if Skylair woke up at 2am, and i really don't want that for Isabella. Not to mention the fact that i am still nursing her, and Amitryptaline is a class IV drug i believe, and definitely not compatible with breast feeding. That is, it was the last time that i checked. Who knows, it may have changed since then but i highly doubt it. I am on some new medication for my heart right now, and it has alieviated some of the chest pressure i was getting from accumulating water in my pleural cavity versus my appendeges. That's my body i guess, just weird like that. I'll post an update about the impending surgery after my pre-op appointment and everything next Thursday. It's gonna be an interesting appointent, my Mom and Step dad are going to attend as well. I asked my Dad if he wanted to come also, but he felt that it wasn't necessary unless i truly wanted him there. I'm not scared, so i see no point in everybody coming to one pre-operative appointment. Is that stupid of me?
