A good nap is always healthy.

Robin's morning started at 6:40 awakening her because she was having heart palpations so she took a tranquilizer to help her relax and reduce the palpations.  At 9:00 she took another tranquilizer because the first one do anything.  She was feeling very weak so I took her blood pressure and it was 119/86 and a heart rate of 161.  When she arrived at the Cancer Center she asked the nurse to take her vitals again, which were then 100/78 and a pulse of 142.  The nurse said it sounded like a little choo choo train and told her to call her primary physician and lay down and relax the rest of the day, which she did.
I just checked it again and currently it is 117/59 and apulse of 77.  She is feeling better.  Tomorrow she has her radiation treatment in the morning followed with an appointment with Dr. Fischer.  Her arm is doing about the same, but thinks that the physical therapy might be starting to help.
