Not a question.

Just wanted to say Hi everyone.

I have an appointment with a specialist in heart rhytmology on the 28 of march. The cardiology institutes is in an other province (state). We are going to drive about 6h to get there and my apointment is early morning, so we are leaving on the 27 after noon, and we are going to spend the night in the gorgeous Quebec City in a bed-n-breackfast.

I hope my Chiari is not going to make the travel to hard especialy on the sping road with all the potholes!

My head hurt so much right now!

I saw the cardiologist in the institute in Quebec City. He told me that even the medication I'm taking are not helping much. In fact he review all my test results with me and said I have one abnormal heart beats every three beats. That makes for 35 000 pvc per day. The hospital is going to call me back in a few week, up to three months and an ablation is going to be scheduled. He said that after I should be way much better. He was very nice and explained every things to me.

I had some test done when we where in Quebec. Mostly electric heart fonction test and a nuclear scan. He review this as well with me and told me that when I will go back for the ablation I'm going to have an MRI of the heart and a tilled table test to see if I have POTS as well.

After a day at the hospital we went back to bed-n-breakfast to rest.

Latter on we went to see the largest shopping mall in Quebec City: les Galeries de la Capitale. It's amazing they have an amusment park an ice ring and an Imax in a shopping center!!!http://www.galeriesdelacapitale.com/fr/
To please my hubby, he absolutly needed to see it! I hate shoping.

And then we went in the Old City of Quebec. You can see some of the picture in my profil. That I realy love to bad we happend to get there on a cold day, when we left a storm was sarting so we had to spend all the evening at the bed-n-breakfast. I was so beautifull! We could watch the storm sitting in bed, the bay window was making the outside wall!!!

The day we were to go I asked my hubby to drive me to the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-the-Beaupré. At 30 minutes from Quebec. Sainte-Anne is a really important figure for my people. I putted a picture of the basilica in my profil. I can't wait for my hubby to be home tonight he took a lot of picture of the inside, but my picture camera failled me again!

As we were leaving Sainte-Anne de Beaupré (the village) our car started to make odd noises! So my hubby stopped at a McDo to look at it. But I decided we might as well eat first since it was already past 1 in the afternoon. After we ate he looked under the car and there was our new car problem! The muffler was almost completly falling! So I got the dogs blanket and he putted on the ground and slided himself under the car. He managed to fix it with an old iron cloth hagged and some rope! It took him a good hour. A lot of people saw us, but no boddy came to offer help. I could see they where think that we where crazy people.

The muffler hang good for a good 7h! When we were at almost half an hour from home, it was pitch dark night when we were past by a wood transport truck, and my hubby notticed an other transport truck coming our way. He braked hard to let the first one to get in our lane, and then we hitted the biggest pothole of my life, I almost hitted the roof of the car and I was buckeled! My hubby didn't stop until we got home, but the car was making the worst noise in the world! I think all our neighburg hearded us coming home at past midnight.

I have a spliting HA ever since.

Sory for such a long post
