It was an interesting day.

 Last Wednesday started out as a normal, nice day. Cool enough to walk, got errands done all was well. Bill had gone in to lay down. He gets up around 2/3 a.m. every day so he needs his naps. I was sitting at the computer when I felt a thump, thump in my chest. Hum? I've had that before after too much coffee or aggravation and it has always stopped. So I kept playing on computer. Well the thump thump didn't go away. I got up got a drink of water walked around in house a bit. THUMP, THUMP,THUMP. Got the little thing you put on your finger that shows your heart beat and oxygen level. Heart beat was bouncing between 130 and 145. And not slowing down. So took my blood pressure  183/89. Well that's not good. So I waited a bit. Not getting better, called my walking friend who is a nurse. Told her what was going on. She suggested going to ER. Either call paramedics or drive myself. I woke Bill up. Told him what was going on. Not getting better. So decided not to drive and called the EMTs. So trip to hospital, luckily they let him ride in ambulance. Ended up being there 10 hours. Poor Bill was stuck there with me (he was freezing the nurse finally brought him a blanket.) Any way. Blood enzymes showed no heart attack. I actually felt okay except for thump thump. EKG showed no problems except fast beat. Heart beat remained around 115-120. Blood pressured above 180/89 - go up once to 212/98! Then a CatScan of chest because doctor told me my blood oxygen was low.  Well that was new. Scan showed nothing. About 9 o'clock doctor came in and asked me if I wanted to stay overnight and have more tests or go home. Duh! Go Home. He said okay but if it got worse or anything else happened come back to hospital. As soon as they said I could go home heart rate and blood pressure started to go down. So called an Uber went home. Had something to eat and went to sleep. Next day everything kept returning to normal . Blood oxygen remained a little lower than usual for a day. Now I'm fine. All is normal. Blood pressure is normal, heart beat is normal. Oxygen levels normal. So maybe I had a Panic Attack.  Had one years ago and spent the night in a Mazatlan hospital. I've been taking it easy, haven't gone back to walking yet. But might tomorrow. 

Yesterday I got pictures from Havasu of all four of our great grand daughters cuddled up in their new quilts. Now I have to decide on a new project for my sewing. 

And that was a wake up call to get our affairs in order.

So nothing else going on to write about. All is well. The Sphere getting an early start. It looks so real.
