Mom's heart rate has slowed down again. Her baseline has lowered back down to the low 40s, she has a hard time even finding her pulse many times, her heart beat is irregular and now, she is sometimes lightheaded (this has happened 2x's in the past 2 weeks). So, we're not waiting until her scheduled 6 month visit with Dr. T, we have an appointment for July 1st. Thanks, A, for making that happen.
Maybe this time, the recommendation will be for Mom to get a pacemaker. I don't know yet if she is ready for this. I just asked her about it and she said, "Maybe I'll live longer if I get it. It Ralph lived until 90 and Jean M. has had one for a long time, maybe it would be ok for me to get one." So I think we are making progress. She was adamantly opposed to getting a pacemaker in the past. Now, her attitude is softening towards it. So if Doctor T believes that it is the best course of action for Mom, she may be getting one.
More updates on this topic after our appointment next week.
