Days of rain ended early this afternoon as the remnants of Ida swooshed out of the county, leaving behind puffy clouds, blue sky, and the return of summer heat.
Next morning. No real reaction so far. However, I've learned from experience that it always pays for me to be exceptionally careful with these things.Beautiful spring day coming up here, 21°C.
Also, after 5 months of enquiries, I get my first COVID-19 vaccination today (I have peculiar reactions to most medications ... ). Both my allergist and rheumatologist/immunologist recommend the Astra Zeneca vaccine, with a number of precautions for my particular situation.
They also stated that it is a 'better' vaccine than others, based on their expert knowledge and experience. Since both are very experienced and careful specialists, I have considerable confidence in their opinions and advice.
I'm hoping that it goes well for me.
If you are going to react badly it should happen sometime between day 4 and day 28. Good luck, John.No real reaction so far. However, I've learned from experience that it always pays for me to be exceptionally careful with these things.
Thanks, Sue.If you are going to react badly it should happen sometime between day 4 and day 28. Good luck, John.
Certainly is. Hope you get it sorted PDQ. Mine varies a lot too but I dont have a pacemaker… fortunately the speedy times are relatively quick, and never last long enough for detection by home gadgets.My pacemaker is set for a minimum of 60 bpm while awake, so something is very much amiss!
Yeah, strikes me as being a good idea, Sue! I would have been done last Friday except that I needed a COVID-19 test. Had that on the way home (Thursday), and clear result on Friday morning. Been in isolation since the test.Certainly is. Hope you get it sorted PDQ.

Same here - we're having a sniff of the summer that wasn't; even though the rain may be back later in the week, the warm temperatures seem to want to persist ... an unexpected but welcome time of respite.After a disappointing August, it's turned warm again for a few days and it's absolutely lovely. The fine weather should last until Wednesday, which happens to be my birthday.

Everything was optimal . No dual septum puncture needed, thank god!Yeah, strikes me as being a good idea, Sue! I would have been done last Friday except that I needed a COVID-19 test. Had that on the way home (Thursday), and clear result on Friday morning. Been in isolation since the test.
My cardiologist is head of cardiology at the Baker Institute, Alfred Heart Centre and Cabrini Malvern, so I'm in pretty competent hands. Ablation will be done tomorrow morning (Monday) at Melbourne Private. I'm more twitchy about it than I might seem ...
My blood pressure monitor is extremely sensitive to mis-timed beats. It's a professional medical grade monitor, of a level that is used in cardiac wards.
What irritates both my cardiologist (and me ... ) is that I have a bedside monitor that interrogates my pacemaker every night, and transmits the data for examination. Someone hasn't bothered to check this since JUNE!
Just a follow up. Saw my cardiologist day before yesterday. No arrhythmia at all since the latest ablation. Blood pressure is more stable than it has been since 2003. Pulse is regular and normal.Everything was optimal . No dual septum puncture needed, thank god!
The Heparin also fixed the pain in my legs after the COVID-19 vaccination.
Just covered in cardio dots adhesive, a very sore throat and bruised tongue. Massive bruising in my groin. I'm alive, and can still talk, so all good so far.
I foresee lots of medical appointments and blood tests in my immediate future ...
