My broken heart

WOW what a week!
Danica woke from her nap on Tuesday asking to go to Bottineau. And when I say asking, I mean DEMANDING!!! So we hit the road.
All was well until Wednesday evening when my heart started acting up again. It was very scary. So for those of you who are interested, here's the deal. Apparently my Grandma Doris sent down some of her awesome genetic issues to me. I have an extra "electrical wire" (for lack of a better term) in my heart. All of us have a wire going from the top right atrial to the rest of the heart - telling it what to do. It is supposed to stop at the lower right ventrical, but mine has an extra wire sending those signals back up to the beginning again. So stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, whatever (we're not sure what) causes it to misfire and my heart does cartwheels. So we're trying medication for a bit and a heart monitor. If the meds don't work in shutting down that extra wire, we'll look into the surgery.
The absolute worst news is that I can no longer have coffee and chocolate. I'm deeply mourning the loss of my dear friends... I'll miss you guys!!
Thank you Mom and Amma for dropping everything and coming to Minot to help me out. There's no way I could've had Dani in the doctor's office that long with me. THANK YOU!!!
