Goodness, Silk.......that would have scared me to death! Are they positive that's what it is? It does sound like it, though. I sure hope you get to feeling better. Bless your heart...you've been through so much! Keep me informed....I'll be wondering about you.
Yes, my husband has his hands full. I mostly just go through depression & stress. Still a lot of that going on! But, he has to worry about getting it built back...at least good enough for winter. We moved into 2 rooms. Made a make-shift kitchen. (No sheetrock, etc..) Cooking on hot plate & toaster oven, etc.
I don't remember how much I told you....won't go into long story. Just ended up not enough ins money to contract it out. No family or friends really interested in helping....so most of the time, he's alone (which is one thing depressing me....I don't understand that!) ...so it's going to take a long time. Just another one of life's mountains to climb!
Well, I've just about got everything ready for the Retirement of our Pastor tomorrow. I dread it. We love them so much. I'll cry all day. I've been getting their gifts & planning the supper, etc.
I'm gonna go get a little rest....sure do hope you feel better. You'e in my prayers.
Hi Angel, they took a sample yesterday when I was at the hospital and as far as I know that is what it is but when I called back for the results they did not have then yet. I have had a reaction to the pills they gave me and have two perfectly round dark red circles, one on each leg with water blisters in them.
I will see my own family doctor tomorrow and find out what it is from.
It rained here this morning but this afternoon is beautiful and sunny and very humid.
Sorry, to hear about your dilema with your house it must be very hard on both of you.
Hi Silk....don't have much time. Had a very long day, with Pastor & wife retiring.
I did want to let you know I'm thinking of you & hope you are feeling better. Glad you have an appointment with dr tomorrow. Maybe you'll find out more. Take care of yourself.
I'm just about to fall asleep....guess I better go. I'll check in on you tomorrow. Let me know what the dr says.
Silk sorry to hear that you are still having a tough time of it. It takes a while to get through grieving. Try to remember the good memories and try to laugh - that will take you a loooong way.
I think I told you before that we are almost the same ages. I was 57 in March.
I went for my Dr. appt. on Tuesday, and ended up in the Emergency Ward at the hospital. I have been having an irregular heartbeat for a long time, but everytime I would go for an ECG everything was fine. On Tuesday, it wasn't! They told me that this irregularity was not normal and that I could have a stroke. My heart was beating at 160 beats a min. Anyway, I ended up having to stay in the hospital until Friday. Started on a med called Sotalol which is used to treat serious heart rhythm disturbances. The Echocardiogram shows that the heart itself is healthy. Boy, what a scare and I am sure glad to be back home.
I hope you both had a nice, relaxing weekend and will try catch up here.
Hi girls, Happy Canuck I am sorry to hear you had trouble with your heart. Yes, we are the same age I was 57 in April. My husband also has an irregular heartbeat and was in the hospital just a short time. His heart rate was 158 and they used the paddles on him to shock his heart. This is the third time he has had this problem. He also had a heart attack 2 weeks after we were married in 1995, so I know how fearful it must have been for you.
Take it easy and be sure and rest often and don't yourself to hard.
Angel, I am sure yesterday must have been hard on you to say goodbye to your minister as goodbyes are always hard.
I spent a couple of hours with my sister-in-law on Sunday morning and she is coping but she is so sad. She says nothing matters anymore but I am sure she will do better as time go along.
Sorry to be going on so long, I am just sooooo glad to hear from both of you.
Angel, I am so thankful that somehow I have missed the depression and I am not a very stressed out person either. Usually take things and keep them in perspective. That has gotten me through a lot - I am, however, kind of emotional at first, then that settles down and I am ready to move forward.
Yes, Silk...yesterday was hard....but it was a successful day. Everything worked out well. That took a large part of the stress off of me.
I'm glad you saw your sil yesterday. Sorry she is so sad. I'll be praying for her, & I'm still praying for you. Are you feeling any better? I really hope so. Physically & emotionally. There are some things that can only be helped through time. Did you go to your dr today? I hope you found out what was causing the reactions.
Happy Canuk....You posted another beautiful picture! I loved it. I'm able to find quite a few images....but nothing real pretty, like that. Keep posting for us. I enjoy them. Hope you are doing allright. Take care of yourself.
I'll check in tomorrow. May be late in the day....gotta take step-dad to dr.
Ahh! A beautiful day in Sunny Alberta. Actually, it is supposed to be very warm for the next week with temps. hitting the late 80's and into the 90's. It gives me something to complain about
Silk, I hope your days are getting easier. I know you will have periods that are sad, but generally better.
I am really tired today. That new med seems to slow me right down - appetite included (there HAS to be SOMETHING good coming out of taking it)! Perhaps, now some of this weight will disappear. I need to lose about 40 pounds to be where I should be. That would sure make me happy.
Angel - I hope you are feeling ok today. Hope the Dr. appt. went well for you (FIL appt). That in itself could be a big job.
Hello ladies.........Hope you are feeling well today.
Happy.....I hope your meds aren't slowing your heart down too much. I'm sure the dr knows what he's doing. I'm a worrier, anyway. I guess the meds are supposed to make you feel that way, so you'll rest more. Take care of yourself.
Not such pretty weather here, today....kinda rainy. Dr appt went very well for SD, thanks. He doesn't go back for 2 mos. Of course, that doesn't mean he won't need me to do something for him sooner.
Silk....how are you today? I'm getting a little concerned. It's late evening & you haven't posted yet. Have you went back to the dr yet? Wishing you well. Let us know something.
Hi to the two of you, I have been looking after my grandson again this week so I do not get home until supper time. Last night I was so tired I didn't know which way was up. He is a sweetheart but I just haven't been feeling up to bar latetly.
It is a beautiful sunny day here today as well, I went to the doctors for more blood work this morning and I have an appointment with him on Thursday afternoon. It seems like it has been a long time since I have had any energy and it seems like I have to force myself to do anything. I am afraid I am turning into a chronic complainer and I don't like myself very much right now.
I am looking forward to the long weekend as we are planning to visit my mother-in-law on Saturday and it will be nice to get away for the day.
Happy, I hope your feeling better, take it easy. Angel, you always sound so cheery and encouraging, I look forward to hearing from both of you.
Hi Silk....so glad to hear from you. I knew you were taking care of your grandson.....I don't know what's wrong with me!! Sometimer's, I guess!
Hey, don't be down on yourself. I complain all the time. I thought I was complaining a lot on here. (must be another thread. ) I don't mind listening to you, one bit! I'm glad you're going to see your MIL. My poor MIL looks terrible! She fell the other day ....right straight down on her face & hand, on cement! Her whole face & both eyes are dark purple. Her hand is hurt. They took her to the hospital in an ambulance. She is a diabetic, so they checked her sugar & it was only 37. That's probably why she fell. Tests didn't reveal anything that evening. Hopefully, she will follow up with her dr. She's a tough lady. If I stump my toe...I whine all day!
Take care of yourself. Hope that kidney infection clears up soon!
I think all 3 of us just need to relax a few days. Too bad we can't just go somewhere together & enjoy some peace & quiet....away from problems! Yeah....right! I just woke up to reality too!
Going to be a scorcher here today. I don't like it when it get's that hot - all I can hope for, is that a breeze comes along to play.
Silk - I don't think you are a complainer at all. Heavens, you have had a great deal on your plate - you deserve to be able to get it out, and, of course, that is why we are here - for support!! I don't know where those little grandkids get all that energy. I could sure use some of it Hope your bladder infection is on the mend. That can sure make you tired as well.
Angel - I hope your MIL will be ok. That sounds like a very nasty fall.
I am posting this Thought for the Day.

When things go wrong
From time to time many things will go wrong. And yet very few of them continue to stay wrong. Most wounds begin to heal almost from the moment they occur. Even the most unbearable grief will start to subside as life continues to move along.
Things that are broken get repaired or replaced. Strategies that don't work become lessons that help you to discover and develop what will work.
When things go wrong it is not the end of the world. It is, instead, the beginning of progress and improvement, learning and growth. When things go wrong you get to find out where your efforts will truly be most effective. You get the opportunity to build and to strengthen your character, your skills, your persistence and your confidence.
Don't wait or wish for things to go wrong. But when they do, move on, move up and move forward.
Hi ladies, my husband and I went out for supper tonight and then took a nice drive to the lake and had an ice cream cone (just what I need). It has been a beautiful day, however, the forecast for the next three days is scattered shower, oh well thats what makes the flowers grow.
I am looking after the little one for two more days and then I am through - whew! what a busy little boy.
I was sorry to hear about your MIL Angel, I hope she is feeling better.
As usual as soon as we got home tonight I headed for the computer as I knew there would be messages from the two of you and I certainly enjoyed the thought for the day.
Good morning
Take care of yourself.
Dr appt went very well for SD, thanks. He doesn't go back for 2 mos. Of course, that doesn't mean he won't need me to do something for him sooner.
Good morning
