Thats rough.
Not a candidate for pacing, ablation or ICD?
Sorry it’s effecting your daily life so much. Not being able to cook or feel like it must really suck.

Not suitable for pacemaker. I could have had ablation but chose not to as it was under control with medication. Now, because I also have heart failure ( a specific condition where the heart doesn't pump properly) i don't know if ablation is possible. At the moment my thyroid levels are out of kilter so that must be sorted first as it can cause atrial fibrillation.

I was genuinely under the mistaken belief AF (re heart probs) was a known abbreviation worldwide.

It probably wouldn't be in Spanish, because everything is the other way round.
UNO = ONU
WHO = OMS
So AF would be FA - which might be the football association, but might also be sweet FA.

As I mentioned in the "Plans" thread, DH & I headed out after brunch and had a lovely afternoon at the Art On the Zoo Fence, there may be a purchase made later from one of the artists who can send out her work from California, saving us on shipping costs.
Then we took a stroll through Kapiolani Park and what did I spy?
The Royal Hawaiian Band setting up in the Bandstand ... I forgot that this was on Sundays...
This is the Pu Kani or blowing of the Conch Shell or Pu, followed by the Oli or pray/blessing.
Chills went up and down my spine.
The last song preformed was Aloha Oe - I cried as I sang along - sssshhhh, don't tell DH, he didn't notice.
We took a leisurely stroll back to the condo.
What a lovely Sunday afternoon.

Ah yes that's sounds like the familiar mix of things that complicate matters.

My Pa has thyroid issues and likes a tipple so that and his swollen feet (heart failure) doesn't make for a simple solution.
But the meds are working for him and at 77 he's happy to simply go home.
 
Whaaaaa 😭
Im going outside, I may be sometime…

Full on blizzard here this morning. Total white out for several hours. Down the road, 2-3hrs drive which in Aussie terms is not far, they've had over 50cm of snow overnight alone, with more still falling. It's unusually early this year.

Parts of Queensland are expecting frost in the coming week, which is going to be a surprise to them.
 
The pizza party this Thursday has been cancelled :(
The bosses realized they were not available so it has been rearranged for next Thursday, probably a good thing because the weather report for this week does not look good.
