Well Good Morning America. I wondered how much longer we will be able to say that after the disturbing news I heard from Yemen that our government ordered our Marines who was guarding our embassy personnel to surrender their rifles before leaving the compound to the radical Islamist who took over the country. This was the country our potus bragged about in his state of the union address that our endeavors or his actions where resulting in so much success there. I'm afraid we will see more of this type of surrender in the future to these animals who butcher, hang, rape, behead and set on fire all in the name of their ideology as our government makes excuses for their cause and religion.
Well Thursday on a personal note had many up's and down's as well as nothing was routine for us. We had to be at the cardiologist by 8:40 so after a 6'ish roll out and a lite breakfast we headed out into the chilly morning with temps in the middle 40's. I had to forego any pickle ball today. There was plenty of sunshine but the breeze kept it nippy until lunch time when it finally warmed up enough to be comfortable outside in the sun and then by late evening it had warmed up to the high 60's. Amy and the kiddos came for lunch and stayed until Nancy had her dental appointment around 2'ish.
The cardiologist had some profound news as they were able to detect the root cause of Nancy's tachycardia. It seems to be a congenital defect when she was a fetus as one of the electrical nodes was competing with each other so at times there are two signals from the SA Node that cause the heart to beat rapidly and thus the blood is not getting into the chambers adequately. There are two methods to correct the problems and the first is with mediation which has about a 50% success rate and then their is ablation where they go into the heart through the arteries and cauterize the competing signal which is nearly 90% successful. If neither of those works then its a pacemaker.We were hopeful and thankful to hear there is no heart problems with structural damage or blockage. After leaving there we made a stop at Sam's to fill up which now has gas prices on the rise again. It went up 20 cents a gallon over the pass two days but still lower than the nearly 4 bucks at one time.
We dropped off her prescription and then she dropped me off at the house while she went to our dentist again over the painful tooth that had been worked on last week. Our dentist sent her to a root canal specialist and sure enough she spent the next two hours getting an expensive root canal. Seems this bridge she wanted is costing her a lot of pain and discomfort as well as tons of money. The last root canal resulting in finally pulling the tooth after an x-ray failed to show an abscess on the root that was supposed to not be there, oh well!!
I spent the afternoon piddling around in the garden and reading until she got back around 5'ish. I cut some Swiss chard from the garden as I knew she would need something soft for supper. We had bought a rotisserie chicken at Sam's so supper was going to be easy. She was able to eat slowly as the Novocaine finally began to wear off. There was still some pain in the area but hopefully just the one molar will need the root canal. It was strange as the Tylenol took care of the pain at times before the root canal which usually doesn't happen to my way of thinking, oh well. After the cleanup we settled into the day's news and were flabbergasted to hear of the actions our state department towards our Marines. I've never heard of such orders and we all know they came from this administrations lack of resolve to fight for our country against those he perceives as his friends with appeasement. I certainly hope the repercussions in this country will be such that we finally wake up. History repeats itself and England did the same thing with the rise of Nazi Germany and we know what happened there, LATER
