Not the best of days...
I started out the day with our doctor calling me to tell me that the EKG he did the other day had some abnormal SP changes. He wants me to make an appointment to come in next week for him to repeat it, see what it shows then. Guess he'll decide from there if we need to do anything further. Since one of the things lupus can attack is your heart that has me a little scared. I'm trying my best not to worry and to just wait until he does the second EKG.
The other thing happened just a bit ago. Mom's tv, our 12 year old 35" Mitsubishi that sits in the living room, seems to be kaput. I can't get it to turn on at all. It was okay when I turned it off for mom last night but it's not doing anything now. I didn't know there were any problems until I went to turn it on for mom after dinner. Lee's been working on a project for work out in the garage most of the day and mom's kept me company while I've worked to clean out our flowers from the front of the house. This was the first day we've had lately that both the weather, and the way I've felt, worked out together so I could get it done.
I don't know what we're going to do about the tv. We sure can't afford to replace it right now. Plus I think our credit would be too crappy to try and finance anything. We'll probably just have to do without. At least until I can put back enough money to have someone come in a take a look at it. I know even that will be expensive but, what can you do? That tv is the only entertainment mom has if Lee and I are working on other things and can't be with her.
I know that we already have another two day trip coming up for Lee for work later this month that I'll have to put money back for. That will have to come first. Everything always seems to come at the worst times. But, realistically, financial wise there doesn't seem to be very many good times. I just hate that mom will have to do without. I've got her parked in the kitchen watching the little set we have in there for tonight. That will probably be all we can do for a while until I can save back the money for anything else.
Guys, please think good thoughts for the repeat EKG next week. I sure can't afford for something else to be wrong with me right now. I've got too many people depending on me.
Love you all, hope that your weekends are going great. And that those of you at the con are having a wonderful time. :)
