We called the doctor’s office today to schedule an appointment for the stress test, but they were closed due to yesterday being the Fourth of July (Sunday); everyone moved their day off to today. I’ll call them again in the morning.
Katie said she felt really rested when she woke up this morning, and most of the day she felt pretty good. However, as it got later into the late afternoon, she started to feel slightly tired again. She went for a walk around the park to see if she could do it, but when she came home she said she had to slow way, way down, and almost rest a few times. She is a very fast walker; she has taken walks around Farmington for the past five years at college, and has never slowed down. She also had a heaviness in her chest that she has never felt before, which went away once she slowed way, way down.
The humidity was extreme today, so that didn’t help matters. Today’s weather was one of those days where the warnings come out for people with any type of breathing or heart problems. So I know that didn’t help the situation but she has never been affected by the extreme humidity before.
I’ll be so glad to call the doctor tomorrow and get this whole process started. At least it will make me feel like I’m doing something to help her. Right now, I feel so useless and helpless.
I love you Katie!! MOM
