Life Happens…

Well, the dogs are adjusting. Yesterday, I left them, and for the first time, I didn’t hear a peep out of them when I closed the door. All seemed to be going well in my life, and I was just thinking last night, how happy I am! YAY!!!

But, of course, a kink was thrown into my happiness this morning. I got a call from my pacemaker people. I have a monitor by my bed, and each night, my pacemaker can send out information. I was informed that Beldar (my name for my device, due to feeling like I have an alien in my chest) is about to give up the ghost and will soon need to be replaced. yay…. And the last time, it cost $96,000. And I have a $10,000 yearly insurance deductible. And $5000 out-of-pocket after deductible is paid. Sure am glad the cabin sold. And, get this, I was told it will start beeping at me soon. This morning, I went to a ladies’ Bible class. At the start of the class, a woman was saying a quite lengthy prayer, and I heard BEEP. It sounded like it came from across the room, but I thought it might be my chest being a ventriloquist. Don’t think it was, but I did ask the lady from the pacemaker place just how loud this beep would be, and if it would be disturbing during church. She said she wasn’t quite sure how loud it was. Great….now we play wait and see!

    So you have to wait for it to start beeping (which sounds an awful lot like you have to wait for it to fail) before they can do anything about it? You should ask if there’s any way they can alter the next one to sound like wind chimes or, at the vey least, play a song like The Entertainer.
