A couple weeks ago, I went in for a cardioversion hoping to set my heart back in proper rhythm. I found out today I'm back in a-fib. Been having regular check ups as well as the occasional EKG with no problems till this past December. No symptoms... just a-fib.
Of course, I'd like to be physically delivered from this but that doesn't seem to be His plan at the moment. My first concern is Mrs. abcaines. She's not going to be too thrilled when I have to tell her. My next concern is the need for wisdom in how to deal with this. I'm not really thrilled with the NP I visited with today. She can't understand why I don't want to layout $85/month for better health (The cost I will have to pay for a very expensive blood thinner... it's complicated). In addition to that, I'm not hearing anything from her that gives me much confidence. "Well, we can try ... and see if that works." I told her I'm not a Guinea pig. It's obvious we were coming to loggerheads when she said maybe I just need to think things over. There's no urgency.
A co-worker has been through similar and seems to come through fine. His condition was far more severe than mine. I may want to talk to his cardiologist if he can appreciate where I'm coming from.
Yes, I'm rambling on right now but I'm just trying to process everything and there is no one to talk to right now. Perhaps that could give you some idea where I need prayer.
Thanks for the chance to vent...
