Mary says I can't go ten minute without motioning Wiener. She's usually right. It's only true because Ween is my constant companion. She sleeps with me and eats when I do. She even offers "sympathy licks" when I don't feel well. She's cute, understanding and ready to "GO" no matter when or where. She is also part of my limited scenarios - home, drs, yard. And yes, I do spoil her. She's sleeping right now; afternoon nap.
I'm home today. No drs. No shopping. No errands. I'm thankful for these days at home. I get to read or listen to someone read, watch silly programs on TV, or just relax with Ween; Just ordinary stuff.
I am back in Cardiac Rehab. It's a great program. They not only monitor your vitals while you're there, but they also check your progress, evaluate what is needed, and increase time or speed when needed. I didn't seem to have a problem but we'll see when I go back tomorrow.
My life isn't what I would have planned. I'm not sure where I'm headed at this point, but I do know that God isn't through with me yet. He still has plans for me.

Nausea v dizziness
Dealing with slight nausea and vertigo due, I think, to an added medication. If this is true, I'll have to stop this med too. Not only is it aggravating to feel this way, but it is REALLY something I try to avoid at all cost. If Tom were here, he would say something like, "Well, that sounds like you're fairly normal." (He was the "King" of understated witticisms.)
On Tuesday I start back to "Cardiac Rehab" which will help to rebuild my muscles and increase my energy level. It's a great program and even w/o a Rx, I can continue to visit and use the facilities. It is located in the Heart Center building, across the street from ORMC. They have RNs, therapists and monitors to keep track of how you respond to the program. I'm excited to return.
Dreams have intrigued me since I was very young. There have been so many: some of which I remember in detail; some fleeting scenarios that flash before me; And, a few have even served as "premonitions" to Real Life experiences. I've been having some similar "flashes" lately. I'm not sure what they are but they are certainly "Interesting, if not enjoyable." Can't wait to find out!
Ween is doing well since her dental surgery. Even though she seems okay, her sleep patterns must be disturbed as she whines and cries at times. She has even awaken me during the night. I'm sure she will be okay.
Mary has made me some blueberry, gluten free, delicious, pancakes. She freezes them and I can have them "whenever" I want them. She is so awesome. I don't know what I would have done w/o her. She is truly a "God sent" blessing.
"Bless The Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is within me bless His Holy Name."

WHAT IS NORMAL?
I have an appointment with my cardiac PA on Thursday. If she releases me, I am returning to cardiac rehab. There is an excellent program at the HEART CENTER and they have personnel that watches your blood pressure, weight, etc while you are there exercising. I really like their program and can't wait to start building my strength again. I feel this is so much more beneficial than just plain PT and the concern you receive from the personnel is truly awesome. They have called checking on me the whole time I have been away. It will be like going home or to "CHEERS" where everybody knows your name.
I am also excited to find out what The Lord has in store for me. I don't think my work here is done yet, but where and when and what I'll be doing, I don't know. It will be interesting to find out. God is Still in control, and I'm so glad that I don't have to be.
My friend, Vicki, has been started on a new medication. Hopefully, this will be the answer to getting rid of the nodules that are in the lungs. Please pray for her healing. She Is such an awesome example of God's love and purpose. She has been through so much this year, with a positive outlook. I hope to go see her in about 2 weeks as their H2H group is meeting on the 20th and she asked me to come over for their meeting. My prayer is for God to bless her way beyond belief, and with the power of The Holy Spirit this is truly possible.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
Just minding my own business, and I am blindsided by how someone has misinterpreted some things I have done and said. It's funny - someone I considered one of my closest, if not THE closest person I have know for years, sent me a personal message on Facebook saying she doesn't want to have anything to do with me in that I have humiliated her for the last time; I ignored her at MY birthday party; I embarrassed her in front of other people; put her in a compromising position for the last time, and do nothing but make fun of her. I just don't understand.
My response was "I don't know where this is coming from. I don't understand, but if I did all that it was done out of ignorance and stupidity. PLEASE FORGIVE ME." And, I did ask when she thought she could, would she please call and let us talk about this.
To me, this sounds like YEARS of being upset. I don't understand why she didn't say something about this before now.
This comes on top of another strained relationship with some close family members. I don't know. Could it be related to the fact that I am trying to get closer to The Lord within my own personal relationship?
It would be so easy to blame the devil and I know he works overtime to get us upset, but I'm not upset, just confused.
If you're reading this and are a PRAYING PERSON, please pray I will be guided with The Holy Spirit's arms of love. I'm so tired of chaos and fighting. GOD BLESS.

Wow
I knew it had been a while since I blogged,but didn't realize HOW long. So much has happened.
Tom came early for my birthday; I Turned 70; had an Airboat ride; friend Barb came for birthday; party; had surgery at MAYO; re-entered another hospital here due to complications; Ween had dental surgery (pulled 24 infected teeth); Charles has had several episodes with his kidney stones; Charles had "college" trips with the girls in Malibu and Arizona; I'm still on oxygen but healing slowly.
Whew! I'm tired just reading about it. But, God is good and has blessed us even in the midst of chaos.
So many people have helped to make these transitions possible-Mary, Julie, Bret, Kinzie, Kayla, Noni, Mock, Ruth, not to mention all the prayers that have been sent up on our behalf. I'm beyond grateful.
In the midst of all this, Vicki's father Bill died and she was dealing with this in addition to her own physical condition. I felt as if I had very little energy and couldn't help her like I would liked to have done. She, of course, was very gracious and understanding, and got through the main service and all that entails.
So, how am I to continue and what is next for me? I really don't know. I firmly believe if I could redo this surgery, knowing what I know now, I probably would not have had it done. You know what they say about hindsight, so who knows.
I thank God for His blessings and mercy, grace and forgiveness. He is so good to me. I praise His name and am praying for a deeper relationship with Him.
