Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

We will have to try again. They gave me their three meds and about ten minutes later, my heart was racing. They did an EKG and saw some irregular rhythm going on and we went to plan b. It's a pain for me but I understand their thinking as better safe than sorry. I see the cardio doc Thursday and if he says it's the meds and not something else, we start the clock ticking again.

AAAARGH! Hopefully it is nothing serious that will conflict with surgery! Or life in general! Hoping for the best for you.

So they medicate you up and are surprised when your heart flip flops?

Any update on surgery?

 

[Mike CHS]

I just had my appointment with the cardiologist this afternoon and he said that everything is good and sent the paperwork back to the surgeon. Now we just wait for me to get put back on the schedule.

I'm doing several racks of ribs on the smoker today. We freeze several meals when we do this plus we have a friend who is always doing something for us who loves smoked ribs but isn't set up to do them for himself so he gets a good portion of the meat.

Teresa has to stay away from heavy spices and that includes my rub so we made some using a little salt and pepper and brown sugar as the rub. It was very good.

Also for meals while you recover from surgery!

Hopefully it won't be too long.

The doc wants to schedule it for Tuesday but everything is scheduled through the hospital. And since it is already 1:30 Friday afternoon, I'm not sure that will be happening.

I always do our smoked meat in bunches. The only reason I only did five racks this time is because that's what we had. When I do pork shoulders, I usually do at least three at a time. I doesn't take anymore time or wood pellets to do five instead of one.
