What's new...
I went to see the doctor yesterday. He's scheduled a few blood tests and given me referrals for a chest x-ray and ECG to find out what is wrong with my heart. He basically said to me he could give me something to stop the pain and palpitations but he'd rather know exactly what is wrong first. I tend to agree, I'd rather not take medication unless I know exactly what it's for. So at any time I get the palpitations now I'm meant to race up to the hospital for the ECG and hope they catch it before it's over. Fun... :-S
I've been going to bed very early over the past couple of weeks. I used to survive best on about 4 hours sleep a night and now it seems I can't do well with less than 10. My days seem very full and by the time I put Jessica to bed I'm exhausted, though I'm not sure exactly what my days are full with. It seems like just simple things seem to take away all of my energy. I'm hoping when the doctor figures out what is wrong with my heart he will be able to fix that too. I'm tired of being tired... lol.
In other news, I'm learning to play the violin. It's slow going at the moment compared to what I'm used to with other instruments I've tried to learn, but I have made a lot of progress. It's been about a week since I started and I'm able to play 3 notes on 2 strings and the open strings as well. The sound quality is still a bit squeaky at times, but I'm guessing that will take a while to even out completely.
