Did any look fun to you?
Have you tried any?

Just curious. I haven't checked them out yet. 😁

[countrygirl2]

I am too but don't really feel good enough to do anything.


Going to go soak in the tub, read, fix my hair. I will do mine tonight and DD's in the morning before we go. Need to go down and get bags for my groceries. I got us goodies, mangoes, avocadoes, strawberries, cherries. I LOVE cherries.  I know I forgot some stuff but for the 2 families I spend $250 ouchie.

Where are you off to? (If you don't mind me asking.)
Have fun!

I head to go to my primary care doctor this morning and was supposed to pick up groceries.


After I told her about the heart doc nonvisit and more dizziness this morning she wanted me to go to the ER.  

So here I am in my hospital bed tonight. Just in for overnight observation. Hubs went and picked up the groceries and got DD to take her home. They did chest xrays, cat scan of heart with contrast and head scan. Did a troponin check, last time it took hours for it to come down, here its ok.  My blood pressure is 162 over something, not sure why so high heart rate about 57 . They just came and checked and its back down to 112 over something, where it normally is.  When I have some of these episodes is when it goes up. Yet they tell me I'm fine.

We have talked and going to monitor my low blood sugar issue for awhile. So I'm getting a monitor for that.

But my labs and everything are always good.  They said the d dimer is a bit high. I wish they could figure out what is wrong with me. All they did is give me 4 aspirin, chewable.

Dinner was good, order from a menu even in our little home town hospital. I had a grilled tenderloin with lettuce and tomato, cole slaw, and green beans. Not bad at all, the kitchen kept trying to get me to take a cheeseburger, didn't want that.  Likely had some leftover.

I feel so much better but that's the way it is. I get very sick and later just come out of it. Wonder why, maybe one day they will hit it when it happens and find out.

This is a great little hospital, its closed to visitors with the covid issues, hubs had to drop my computer and stuff up front and they brought it back. I think there are only about 4 patients in here and noone was in the ER, not good for their revenue, guess  they made it off me, LOL!  Very nice staff, I've never had any complaints here, for myself or DD. We are so lucky to have it.

Yikes! Doesn't sound fun.
But I'm glad they are treating you well and that your food was good.
When I've been in the hospital for my heart and blood pressure, the food contained no salt or seasoning. I've never had such bland, horrible food, as that was. Yuck!

I'm sorry they don't know what causes your problem. But I'm glad you're feeling better.

Get and stay well. ♡

Take care of yourself, countrygirl2.

I already bake bread and have for at least 60 years, maybe more. And I don't make jam anymore because nobody here will use it anyway. Nowhere on my patio to string lights. Backyard theater? Nah. 80's dance party? Um. Don't think so. Only got to about #10 before getting bored with the list!

Guess I'll stick with online solitaire

[countrygirl2]

Normally my blood pressure is so low, heart doc told me to use more salt!  I told hubs bet not many people get that advice.

I'm just waiting for the doc to come by, don't see any reason to not go home.  Not taking meds, just on a heart monitor. They said it got to a low of 54 bspm last night. They told me even 60 is ok. I also took my pain med last night, wanted to see how low it got with that.  

I had one time it was heaviness on my chest but not shortness of breath. Slept from 12 to 3, then with monitors going off, asleep and awake the rest of the night.

My nurses have been nice, both guys, and they are traveling nurses. Apparently they lost 2 here so had to get them. One guy said I was the easiest patient he has had, LOL! I said well I'm not sick, he said doesn't matter. Wonder why people give them such a hard time. I try to be nice.

Ok, my take a nap and read a bit. They came and took my lunch order, I got a chef salad, sounds so good.

[Happy prose]

Hope all goes well countrygirl2

Which site are you playing solitaire at?

solitr.com

You can also play spider, mahjong, and sudoku.

Hope you got to go home.
Maybe you just needed a break?

I don't know why people treat others poorly, either. Do they really think they will be treated better, or get what they want?! Or maybe that they look smart, or tough?
I think they look like jerks.

Feel better soon, countrygirl2!

Thank You!  I'll check it out.

If you ever feel "adventurous", check out msn zone games or pogo games.  Both have tons of different games to choose from including several types of solitaire.

I'm ok, home at 2. Nonconclusive anything.  Except the doc that is new here thought it is thyroid issues. I told her I thought the same but doc said it was ok, had the test the other day.  This one wrote down where she said it should be.  Humm, my doc may not like that.

And she said I likely have sleep apnea, don't doubt it.  Plus she told me if I should take statins again to take Q10 complex and a 1/4 tab, start the Q10 a week before. Plus she said my ear drums have scaring so could be what is causing the dizziness.  I asked her if she is going to be admitting to this hospital and she said yes.  I told her I like my doc but might be interested in changing as I want someone that admits here.  That would give me an excuse. My doc is ok, but....


Hubs straightened my garden fabric for me, he said only a few onions got displaced.  And he sanded off and primered a door at the house I was going to do.

I ate lunch before I left, a wonderful chef salad, wasn't going to waste it.  I bought Subway for hubs and DD, so didn't have to cook.

Little DD went and treadmilled without me asking, I explained she needed to do more to help her weightloss, maybe that helped motivate her.

It's beautiful out today, wish I could have been home and finished planting my veggies and cleaning the one flower bed. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow and I can.

We were all cleaned up for the evening by 4:30, real wild bunch, LOL!

I would need to go through the list. I sent it to my granddaughter who is quarantined.

My H. and I are geocaching. It gets us out and he seems to enjoy it.

I haven't done any art in ages. I have been baking but mostly desserts. I do have a low carb mug muffin recipe that could count as baking bread.

I tried to get an online game of billiards to work but couldn't figure out how to use the cue.

I have been on Calvin and Hobbes Rides Again FB page. The cartoons are so funny. I bought 6 books from the used book store. I also found Zealot and The Girl Who Lived Twice (or something like that) for my H. anniversary gift.

[Artemis Windsong]

H. is faithfully doing duolingo for both spanish and french with occasional german.

I could do dance with zumba and some other online classes the local Y sends but I don't.

I do meditate.

I know a lot of you have been planting things! And journalling - I do that daily.

I'm not into scrabble. I spend enough time online and H. would beat me IRL. I also read a lot of books.

I do have a list of place I would like to visit. I think geocaching falls into this category.

I watched all of America Unearthed episodes. I am now working on Legendary Locations. I'll then go back to Destination Truth if I can find them.

I already said I haven't done any art but might. I will do a fairy garden in a pickle jar!

My bike is ready. I have not ridden.

I miss happy hour with my old neighbors.

I do not want my H. practicing guitar.

I want to learn ASL. There are supposed to be videos online.

No to bubble baths. I haven't been in a bathtub to soak in probably 40 years.

I will continue to support local restaurants.

I have no karaoke stuff but my GF does. I can find some on youtube and I sure don't need a mike.

Calvin and Hobbes on FB is my funny stuff and I do get vids on cute animals.

I will be baking some bar cookies in a few days. The list reminded me.

The magic trick I would like to do is make Covid 19 disappear before it appears.

How slim and trim I would be if I did 10000 steps a day.

I do get vocabulary words daily in one email box so that counts as learn something new everyday.

I fb message most of my friends but I sure miss my H.S. GFs.

I do sleep in. We do go for drives geocaching.

I didn't like the virtual rides at Disney the first time I went through the list so I won't try again.

I have no fancy wine. I'm not interested in a free online class unless it's to brush up on chess or bridge.

No to composting.

I do have regular spa days at home.

I'd love a drive in theater or be able to project movies on a sheets. I don't know what kind of projector to use. Anyone know?

We do take photos.

I have not done a virtual visit to an aquarium or zoo.

I have not picked up anymore state opening catch phrases.

That's what I have done with the list so far.

[Artemis Windsong]

I don't know why I am getting the photobucket notice in my post. I wasn't trying to add anything.

[irishpad]

countrygirl2, hope your health is improving.   Just saw this thread.   Take care of yourself

[countrygirl2]

Me too, I think if I persist long enough, we will find out what is causing my issues.  Some new insight from the doc that I saw at the hospital. Well worth pursuing.

[Artemis Windsong]

My craft project will be a Calvin and Hobbes fairy garden in a pickle jar.

[Artemis Windsong]

Here is some amazing art work.
