Today I went to my regular doctor. He asked me how it went the last time I saw the cardio doctor. So I told him and said I want a second opinion. I gave him Ricki's doctors name and they made the appointment for me on June 12th and 800am. Actually he is a little closer for me to go to. Thats a plus right there. So I am anxious to meet him. Thanks Ricki.
Oh and my blood pressure was amazing 128/78 that is good for me. And I have about 10 pounds to loose to get to my goal so I am almost there yeah.
For the long haul

I have just learned that our friend passed away this morning around 4;30am. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ray Pounds.
I have a lot of good memories of our families. He is the Dad of Kevin and Sandy. Kevin was my daughters first boy friend and both of our families became good friends. His Mother passed away suddenly several years ago. I still miss her to this day.
God be with their family.

Please say some prayers.

I just found out that I have a dear friend of the family, that his dad had a massive heart attack last Sat. They are going to try and take him to Madison Wi for a heart transplant. It is the VA doing it which I think its very risky and not going to CC as it is so much closer. But he told me it was the VA. So please send some prayers out for Ray Pounds he sure does need them and family as well. Thanks so much. Hope everyone is having a good day. For the long haul

Hi Guys

April 12, 2012

Well I had a different Easter but a good one. Went to church and it was good. That afternoon my husband and I drove to Clinton SC to have dinner with his brother and wife. Had a real nice dinner and I was real proud of myself as I only ate 1 hush puppy. I love them and usually asked for more. lol. When I got home had a phone call from my neighbor that her Mom (83 years old) was sick all day, and the nurse finally called back and told her to get to ER now. So I took her to Anderson and sat there from 8pm to 4am. She had a heart attack and had 2 stints put in the next day. She is doing good now and getting her energy back.

In the meantime I have been continuing my walks like I have always done. But now I think I have developed a new symtom. My feet have been bothering me with tingling and to the point of waking my up at night. Well now I am getting pains in the back of my knees that feels like a charlie horse forming. Did some googling today and it could be related to this. So maybe my day is getting close.
I have been reading all the blogs from everyone, and everyone tells about dental clearances. Well that is my fear not my heart but the dentist. I had a bad experience with pulling a tooth a while back and I do have a couple of problems that have to be addressed. So I plan on getting this done very soon to get it out of the way. Best not to wait.

And tomorrow I plan on trying to get Adams book. So with those things getting done I will be that much closer to getting there;
Well until later. Hope everyone is having a good day and recovering amazingly. And for everyone else like me we can do it.
For the long haul
