Life goes on

Slept late this morning, I thought it was 7:30 when I got up.  But I looked at the clock wrong, it was 8:30.  I am normally up around 5:30 or 5, I may take a break around 8 and fall back to sleep, but I usually have cleaned the litter boxes, fed cats, dogs, and fish, and have done a few other things first.  But I was up late last night mulling over the need to stay home by myself while the kids are gone, and their fear of me being home alone.

I prayed about it and know that it will work out.  We will come to something that will help each of us feel good about the end results.  I know that they are concerned for my safety as I do have some very different medical issues.  But I know that I can deal with them effectively while they are away. 

It has been two weeks now since I went to the Cardiologist and she increased one of my heart meds. I have not had to used my nitro since.  So I think we have that under control for now.  The other issue is that I may have another TIA and that it could lead to a stroke.  But I think that having my heart under control at this time will help that as well.  Because what happens with my vassal spasms is that they not only restrict the oxygen going to my heart but also it restricts it going to my brain and this is what causes the TIA's.

I wish I had not slept so late this morning as I wanted to do some yard work this morning before it got hot, but it is already 103 and to hot for me to work outside.  But I was able to get a couple things done in my pond. I love to sit out there and watch my fish swimming and playing in the water.  The dogs try to eat the fish food when I throw it in.  They try to drink all the water thinking that way they will get the food.  They can be a pain, but it is funny to watch.  The bigger fish actually come up to the top and watch the dogs.  I have even seen them touch noses with them.

Well I am going for now I have a few things to do before I have lunch and then take a nap.  I remember when I could go from sun up to long after it had set.  Now I spend more time in bed that out of it.  I seem to have a pill for everything except energy.  How I look forward to a time when I will have all of the energy I need or want.
