Later, the folks went out for a walk in the nice autumn weather. It isn't supposed to stay nice for all that long, so today was the day. We three ate orange roughee for dinner and then the folks watched the Ugly Dachshund, an old Disney movie.
In the evening, for no particular reason, Thomas took out the blood pressure monitor and took his reading, then Lois' and found that Lois had a heart rate in the 40s. Despite taking it several times, it was always low (a few times in the 30s). Since she's had heart problems, heart attack history, we got to see the emergency room last night. We were there for two hours, then Lois was discharged with a 24-hour heart monitor.
It was determined that she had non-symptomatic bradycardia (slow heart rate without any symptoms). It is likely that some of the medicines that she's taking are now at too high of levels and are pushing her heart rate down too low. Well, they'll determine what they will do later.
