Good Morning All! tongue

Heidi, it's so good to hear from you!! yeah I know our weather sure has been crazy, but then I saw the news this morning and Michigan really got a barrel of snow~Eek!~Kathlyn, hoping you're not having to shovel out??

Barb, enjoy walking your dog~it's good exercise and fun for both owner and pooch! yeah

Hi Teri, we brought the dogs again yesterday and had fun. Not as much exercise since my hubby didn't have his scooter and too hard to push in his chair on the grass. Our van wouldn't start so couldn't bring the scooter. My daugters boyfriend is going to work on it for us. Had the battery tested and that's not the problem. It might be a starter celenoid. Hope that is it because it is only $7.99 from the parts store and then it will cost me a meal to pay Joel off for the work. Pretty cheap labor and I like to cook anyway. No walk today because by the time I got done with CPR training and EAD training it was cold and rainy. The EAD device was really neat. It tells you every thing you need to do and determines if the person needs a shock or not. It even tells you how to do CPR. Hope I never have to use it but it will come in handy if it is needed. Well I'm off to bed now. Have to work tomorrow. Barb

Good Morning y'all!

I hope everyone here has a wonderful day.  Today is my first day since the ablation with my children.  We also have an all school Mass today - sit, stand, kneel, stand, kneel, etc.  I think I'm gonna be sore when it's done!  tongue

Have a great day y'all!

Hi Teri, we managed to get the van into the driveway. Turns out it is the starter unfortunately. Joel and his friend took it to his friends house where they have all the tools and even a lift but they couldn't get the starter off. Joel is going to see if his brother can get it off at the truck garage where they work on the trucks they drive for a delivery service. Not sure how much of a help that will be since an air wrench was even tried in an attempt to get it off among other things. Can't really afford to pay someone to fix it. It already cost $140 for the part. Once we bring them the old starter they will give us back $40 of it. I still owe Joel a meal. His favorite thing is chicken so will make something with that once he gets my van fixed. It sure doesn't look very nice out for a walk today. Brrrrrr sad

Wow - What a day!  Mass went better than expected...not as sore as I thought from that.  I still had my assisstant bring my kids to art - I don't want to do stairs right now.  I'm so tired right now!  I've been having some major chest pain today.  I had to leave the basketball game this afternoon it hurt so bad.  And Teri, yes...before you ask...I called my cardio's office.  The nurse agreed with my thoughts on the matter - My heart has just had some trauma and it's reacting to that.  She said to take some advil or naprocin and to call back if the pain got worse or if it hurt bad tomorrow.  I can deal with slight discomfort but I felt like a truck slammed in to me during the basketball game - and all I was doing was cheering the teachers!  Oh well.  I still feel great.  No tachy today!  Woohoo!!!  Two days post ablation and no tachy!  I'm about as tickled as they come over that.  :-)

Hi Everyone! tongue

 

They took a vote and the a/c is now on here at the

house! yeah   3 against 1 (me), cuz I'm always cold and wearing a sweater inside  (in the stores especially). Though I do have to admit it does help to stop those little Texas critters from coming indoors so easily! :)

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

 

Heidi, I wishing you lots of luck and have fun!! smurf

Hey Teri, I hope it's not snowing this summer up here either. We hope we have a warmer summer than last year. I only got to go swimming a few times last year it was so cold. Summer is my favorite season. My hubby threatend to not go camping Memorial weekend if it doesn't warm up. I told him he had to because we have reservations. We'll just have to have big fires and if it gets too bad we'll have to squeeze into my sisters camper where she has a gas heater. We don't have heat in our van because there is no electric on our site. At night we bring my hubbys scooter over to the hosts site to plug in. We got our van up and running again for 56 labor and 100 for the starter. They also found a cheap way to fix our oil leaks vesus $800 that the other place told us it would cost. As soon as I'm done with work we are going to dog park with our daughter and our dogs. My hubby is so excited he will have his scooter this time. I plan on getting alot of exercise. Today is the day I started back on my healthy diet and exercise program. I'll keep you posted on how that is going. I should really lose about 80 pounds but would be happy if I could get rid of at least 60. Talk to you later. Barb

Barb, you are always so active and stay so busy, that I know that'll help you continue with the weight loss! yeah My family in Wisconsin, camps a lot, too-the last time I went camping way up in NorthWest Wis. there were so many ticks, that I've never wanted to go again! lol  I'm glad your hubby got his scooter going, that'll sure help him get around more-so keep us posted on the camping trip!
