So on April 11 I posted this pic on FaceBook…
…I asked if this made me old or organized? It just holds two vitamins and a gerd pill, but beats opening up bottles every day. Plus when we went to Vegas it was easier to just take this.
Well the next day Jeff got sick and had to go to the doc, by Sunday he had a fever of 102 and aches, pains and chills and off we went to urgent care.
That started a whole a-fib heart problems stuff going on, that we had no idea anything was wrong with his heart, or how long this may have been going on. Is it true we are born with only so many heart beats in our heart, how many days did we lose? Am I just a worry wart?
So today he saw the cardiologist again and his heart is still not right. So they have increased some meds, and added more. Now he has this…
…so he went from taking no pills (except the one he had a reaction to) before that to needing this. So glad many of you commented on my FaceBook pic or I would not have known they have am and pm ones.
So next week they have scheduled Jeff for a cardioversion and this scares the crap out of me. I am sure it is scaring him too, but he is a tough and macho man (I mean we tease cause it was in the newspaper that his fave band in school was The Village People), he is just excited he can go back to work. He wanted to go in on Saturday and I told him he should probably take these new pills they added for a couple days to see how he feels.
So my sweet readers, if anyone has had one of these please let me know. I mean I can not even imagine a machine shocking my husband at all. I think I need to stop watching Greys Anatomy.

Diana, you know how you end your posts with "hugs, Diana"?. Well, hugs back at you!! It is harder to watch the one you love go through something than to go through it yourself.
Praying for you both……
"Complications of electric cardioversion are uncommon…" Found this after I googled electric cardioversion – so don't waste a worry!! – also you didn't jinx anything…I've had am/pm pill holders for many, many years – thank God they have pills that can help us!! Love you…xoxoxo
Diana, my father-in-law just had a cardioversion last month at the Mayo Hospital (we live in AZ too). He has a long history of heart problems and was also experiencing irregular heartbeat. Well, in a nutshell – he's 83 years old, went through it like a champ, and was released from the hospital later that same day.
Your husband is much younger, so, I just know that he'll be right as rain after the procedure. Hopefully, it will work it's magic and get his heart back to where it should be. Sending many positive thoughts your way!
Pills, smills – I would gladly take pills vs. all my injections for two kinds of insulin and then two at a time for my biologic medication. I am sure all will go ok. You have a lot of us sending, hugs, good thoughts, well wishes, and cyber hugs as well as prayers for you both!
Just sending hugs and good thoughts. We all tend to worry, only because it is fear of the unknown. Everything will probably be A-OK.
Worry is like a rocking chair…keeps you busy but doesn’t get you anywhere.
Stay positive… 😘
Di…
Yes, they have AM and PM pill containers and I have made a very small one for 6PM to hold my Step Dad's pills for that time…..Yes, think positive, I am so glad they have the knowledge and technology to fix us!
The doctors will get Jeff up and running like a well oiled machine in no time!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs to you!!!!
Hugs, Diana. I worry, too. Doesn't help any but it's human nature, I think. I'll be praying for you and Jeff.
Just talked to a nurse friend and she says what they are probably are hoping to reset Jeff’s electrical system. It’s done through a controlled system and he should be fine.
I’ve been using these little boxes for several years. Not sure it makes you old. I look at it as being organized. Everything in our house is in a container, except for the hubby and the cat. Lol! Praying your hubby will come through with flying colors.
Thank you for the update….sending you hugs and keeping you both in my prayers!!
