All healed up

This is a sewer line. This means I am going to have a bathroom in the barn. This means I am overjoyed. This means I won't have to make mad dashes to the house as soon as I get to the barn. It also means I should be able to get Sage out of her pen tomorrow because the ditch got filled in this afternoon.

I am great. The hole in my groin has healed shut so I can do a few more things. Like carrying the laundry basket from our room to the washer. Whoop. Can I fib a bit.

Blessings

Sunshine in my heart

Sunday Stills on Monday

So I am a day late but had to find this picture. That is Mount Hood in the back ground. We were taking a potty break at Government Camp, Oregon. Nikki and I were on our way to Burns in February. The topic was flags and I thought immediately of this picture.

No other pictures. This was my best day since the entire hospital event. Felt great and did my best today to get my house in order. Not done but certainly a good start. Can't go work with Sage yet because I can't lift and if she gave a big tug on the rope it would be like lifting something and that is against the rules until Friday.

The sun was shining and Jesus in my heart so all is right with my world.

Better Still

These are the flowers from my dear daughter Nikki. Aren't they pretty.
I was starting back on my walking regimen today . I stuck my little camera in my pocket. These were growing in the ditch. I know they are a weed of some sort or the other but down in that dirty ditch, they were just blooming there. I guess the saying "bloom where you are planted" is appropriate.

Pistol played a long time with the can. I guess she likes Diet Coke like I do. It was really funny and noisy.

Lat night this is what I saw out my front door. Love our sunsets.

I went down to see Sage today. She didn't seem to be overjoyed to see me but let me rub her shoulder, her ears and her face. And, Arlene, she let me kiss her on her nose. She did not kiss me back like Echo did you but she did snort right into my face when I was kissing her. I wanted to laugh but didn't want to scare her.

My friend Andi is hanging in there. Tom did commit suicide. She will have many decisions to make now. Please keep her in your prayers.

Many blessings

A better day -whoopeeeeeee

Our Back Country group sent me these loves flowers. Karen brought them and I suspect they were out of her flower garden. They were so beautiful and still are.

I feel a million percent better today. I ran a fever yesterday and I think that is why the world was so ugly to me. I did not eat much and tried to drink a lot of water but today is better. I still get tired if I get up and walk around much. I can't lift because of the hole in my groin so I am folding and putting away and Bob is putting clothes in and washer and moving them to the dryer.

I was so relieved that the cath only found scar tissue from the stent 7 years ago. So basically my problem was fluid on my lungs. I need to monitor my blood pressure and salt intake. I have not used salt in years but I will surely check canned and frozen things we eat. I will go see the cardiologist again in four weeks.

That is the good news but the saddest of news was on Facebook last night. Andi Harmon who is devout volunteer at the BLM Wild Horse corrals and a giving person. One of my good friends, we have stayed at their house numerous times and have had such fun. A week ago yesterday her husband Tom disappeared. He was found late yesterday deceased. She did not have any details but we all suspect he committed suicide for several reasons. Please keep Andi in your prayers. They had no children and no family in the area.

Blessings and thank yous for all your prayers and loving thoughts and notes.

Home and sleepy

No pictures. Have to just lay around for a week. They put a tube into my groin and ran it to my heart. Nothin wrong. I can't seem to eat muchI will try to get something written tomorrw.

Hijacked again

Just a quick note to say Mom is out of the hospital and will be back to the regular scheduled programing soon. I will let her fill you in on all the nitty gritty. She is doing well and glad to be home. Thanks for your prayers. Peace Nikki

Sick sick sick

This is Lea's daughter Nikki. Mom is ill and in the hospital. They know she didn't have a heart attack but they also know something is going on with her heart. She's having more tests tomorrow.
