Wow, we're very slow here today. I had to be at the cardiologist's at 8:30 this morning then across the street for an hour of rehab. Went to a class on heart attacks/angina at 10. On to B J ' s to get gas after that and got home about 11:45. Made lunch, tried to watch the rest of a movie and my eyelids kept closing. So, just went for a 25-minute walk. Now up to 6,750 steps. My plan is to go again in a couple of hours but maybe only 15 minutes or so.
When I went in to get the monitor on, Tracy said she hadn't been sure whether to put it on me or not. She'd gotten a note from rehab on my heartbeats and blood pressure through last week. Both are doing very well. For instance (mind you I've been off this second BP medicine for about 10 days or so) was only 112/68. Have to ask why that is so. Is it because my heart is beating faster and a better blood supply? I sure don't know the answer. Only know that for the most part I feel better and more energetic than I have in a very long time. If this med has been the cause it's too bad it wasn't discovered long ago. Though you'd think they would have detected it while I was in the hospital on a constant monitor.
Only know I'm trying harder & harder to do all I can to eat right and exercise as much as possible. Can't do any more than that.
Have a pork chop - a very large/thick pork chop- marinating for dinner. RVer who dh used to drive the truck to FL for brought him 6 ears of corn today. We'll each have at least an ear of that. This corn is absolutely the BEST. Don't know how they grow it differently but they always have delicious corn.
DS-R and DDIL are on their way back from the NASCAR race at Darlington. Left there about 8:30am Monday. Around Winston-Salem they had a blow out on their fifth wheel. Took out skirting and the bumper flare over the tire as well as their LP tubing for their RV. Got the tire fixed and then went to an RV place in VA (I'm surprised they were open). They didn't have the tube they needed for the LP so they went to L owe's, got it and fixed that. Then last evening around Winchester, VA they had another blow out. Waited for help to come via their insurance. Never came. A State Trooper stopped and red lighted them to a shopping plaza for the night. As it happened there was a Good Year store in the same plaza where they ordered 2 tires this morning. Had to wait a few hours for them to be delivered. Last I heard from them they were around Williamsport, PA. Hopefully they'll make it now. Think that was around an hour ago or so. Said they're taking the 5th wheel home to unpack and attack a mountain of laundry. I mentioned our favorite term, Mt. Washmore. At least that made her laugh.
Thinking of your dh, Blessed. How long has he had that port in anyway?
Begun is half done -SO! JUST BEGIN!!
