I took the first beta blocker last night and I don't know if it helped really... yet. This morning my heart rate was high, but it's maybe averaging slightly lower than yesterday, in the mid 90's rather than the 110's. I do, however, have more swelling in my ankles. I've put my lovely TED stockings on (to help bloodflow) to see if that helps bring it down. I also bought a Blood pressure monitor so that I can make sure mine isn't climbing. It's reassuringly low at 99/59. But still, worrying times.
When G got home last night the squirrell was asleep so although he took the hole block off, we don't know if it came out. He stayed home this morning to see if we could be certain that it was out and he could block up the hole again, but there is no sign of it. It might have come out before we got up this morning, or it might be in there still! Until we know we can't fill the hole.. bah.

I wish i could think of anything sensible to say by way of help. nothing much except that there is one ending to all this and we both know it seems to last for ages... but in fact it's gone in a flash.
