Lila is doing well, all things considered.  I reported a few days ago that she had some chest pains and a battery of heart tests and everything checked out well.  However, she has another short round of chest pains Sunday evening.  She went to the hospital Monday morning for the usual blood test and review.   The doctor thought the chest pains may be because she was low on blood.  She went back to the hospital Monday afternoon and they gave her two units of blood.  Lila spent a long day at the hospital Monday, from 8:00 AM until 7:30 PM with a short lunch break with me and the dog at the RV.   Today, she is feeling good.  She has a 2:00 appointment today for some sort of lung test, they want to be sure her lungs are doing what they should.
 
Lila has another blood test Wednesday morning and Friday morning.
 
I had another round of Atrial Fibrillation Friday night and spent about 4 hours in the hospital ER before they got the heart beating correctly.  I went to the heart doctor Monday afternoon.  He did not make any change in my medications--he thinks my blood pressure and heart rate is doing fine.  Looks like I will have to live with this crap (it runs in Mom's side of the family).  I had some time to talk with the doctor and got some ideas of how to handle the next round, when it comes.  Feeling good today.
 
The weather here in Houston is not great, but compared to other parts of the country, we are great.  We had a round of heavy wind and rain this morning, No damage as far as I can find to our RV, but can see a torn awning on a motor home across the street.  Not a good idea to leave these things out when storms come through.  However, they are forecasting snow for Houston for Thursday night and Friday, maybe 1 to 3 inches.  Houston will go crazy if they get 3 inches of snow.
 
This is the latest on the Reiser/Browning Soap Opera.  For what it is worth, WE ARE NOT HAVING FUN!!!!!!
