He's Got Rhythm

Sometime during the night my husband's heart went back into rhythm. That's very good news and our fingers are crossed that this will last far in to the future. But (isn't there always a caveat?), the arrhythmia drug is very toxic with horrible side effects and the doctors already told him that they didn't want him to stay on it very long. He called and had his dosage cut in half since he has been vomiting all day long. Now the sleep specialist that he consulted (sleep apnea is a corollary and a danger in atrial fibrillation) did say that he should lose ten pounds but I don't think he would recommend this method.  The pounds went on when his activity level dropped so perhaps there is hope that all of this will work in harmony with increasing good health to make him a fit and happy guy again.

I have finished all the small blocks except for one blade on one square. That was done too but when I checked everything after the work was done that one blade was wonky so I took it off. I won't get it put back on until tomorrow since a son is coming to dinner and I am making osso buco and risotto milanese. It's too bad my husband's stomach is somersaulting.
