Jeepers

Made my day!

I couldn't stand it any longer so I went back to Meijers with my camera tonight. I'll post the sign I saw in the Are You Really Ready forum. I still can't post a picture but I'll write it down. @themartianchick Hope you feel better soon. Nice of hubby to share...not. Sorry about the groundhogs! Also sorry that I had to chuckle a little bit though. My GS just learned the how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck wood chuck wood, tongue twister.

One on my heart meds finally came in today. The other new one is still on back order. I ran over to Meijers while I was out. There is a sign on the door talking about the shortages. Of course I didn't have my phone with me to take a picture. There were quite a lot of items and not all food related. I do remember Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. Liquid Plumr, Clorox and a few more. If I remember, I'll go back tomorrow and take a picture of the sign.

@snapshotmiki I have no idea why it didn't record. The green light was always flashing every 5 seconds like it was working. I did everything like I was supposed to. I only took it off an hour or so at night to put it on the charger while I took a bath/shower. You can't get it wet. I'm giving it one more chance. Glad you are getting help with your outdoor chores! Hope your DH is doing better with his antibiotics.

Hope your GS passes his test!

@Mt_Rider I hope you feel better soon! Light headed and a tad nauseous is how I feel when my B.P. drops too. I told the doctor today that I say I get dizzy but that isn't really the case. The room doesn't spin etc. My first symptom is I start getting hot. Really really hot. Then sweaty around my hair line. Then I know I had better hit the floor before I pass out. @Becca_Anne A taxi would cost way too much from my town to downtown Cleveland. I did consider Uber but the hospital doesn't recommend one because of the procedure. It's over an hour long with an IV involved. I'm not sure but there could be some sedation. I'm not sure about that. But if I become compromised in any way, they wouldn't approve an Uber. Their reasoning is I could pass out and be taken advantage of by an Uber driver. Like being assaulted or robbed. Actually, I really don't think they would do the test if I didn't have a ride with me. The doctor mentioned something about a bus the clinic provides but she was sure it didn't come out as far as my town. However, I suppose I could drive as far as the clinic I go to and catch a ride from the there? Maybe. I'll see when social services contacts me. BTW, I'm not sure why it's called a 'clinic'. It's really a very big medical building with lots of professional doctors and all kinds of testing procedures. I get my labs, mammogram and they have a pharmacy and walk in clinic too.

I'll find something. But all I have is this tiny phone.

Brat. Jeepers doing her fishy exercises =>followed by =>

I had my cardiologist appointment today. I flat lined the heart monitor. LOL. After wearing it for a month it showed absolutely nothing. Not even a pulse. She asked me if I'd consider wearing it for another week. I told her I'd give it two weeks. I'd like to get some kind of a reading. She is sure I have POTS. Everyone is sure of that. She thinks it is imperative that I have the tilt table test. I told her I was willing but I have no transportation to and from downtown Cleveland. She said she'd try to hook me up with a senior citizens advocate. Whatever. I was going to try to do it in Indiana where DIL could take me. I'll try here if I can though. Hospitals are a lot better over here. If they can...they can. Plan B is Indiana. She also said to really push the liquids and that I should try compression socks. I just bought a bunch of loose diabetic socks so my legs wouldn't be restricted. But I'll try the compression socks when I'm going to be upright for an extended period of time like canning and shopping. Also exercises. Nothing upright but to do them sitting down or on the floor. Figures now that I don't have a TV or DVD player. Suppose I'll just get down there and flop around some. I really used to like my Sweatin' To The Oldies and I miss doing those. Nice music and not too strenuous. I have to check back in with them in two weeks. She also changed my meds. I went over today to pick them up and they didn't have one available. They said hopefully they will have it tomorrow. It's back ordered. Anyway, she discontinued one and added two more. Pharmacy had a notice that because of the new law in Ohio, the pharmacy will be closed from 1:30 til 2:00. I think it has to do with always having two pharmacists out front and on duty at all times during lunch time. They always did any way. I'm glad I'm going to try to get this straightened out but I fear by the time I can see the doctors and follow ups, I'll be out of the area and scrambling to find someone new in Indy. Aside from the monitor showing nothing, the echocardiogram was pretty good. Mostly a little thickening of the heart muscle but not dangerously so. I need another one in two years. I can do that. BTW Mt. Rider, you asked about the sun raising vitamin D levels. It didn't have any bearing on it. Mine was the same as before I was in a hotel doing yard work, while in the hotel and now out of the hotel. In other words, being in the sun verses not being in the sun (hotel) didn't change anything. And I was in the sun some here at the house and a lot in Indiana.

It's a date! I'll be the one with the beagles and wearing a Rolling Stones tee shirt. Can't miss me.

Adorableness overload!

I'm a tad jealous of you guys travel agenda. I'd love to go to Europe and Iceland. I spend a lot of time Google driving but it isn't the same. I want to go to Scotland and Wales and Ireland. Probably never going to happen now. I always tell myself that when I'm in heaven I'll get to go see all the concerts I want and do all the traveling around all over the world I want to see. And learn about all of the murder mysteries down here. Like JonBenet Ramsay and Nicole Brown Simpson. Watch Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper. And bunches of others. Breakfast with Rod Stewart, tea with the Beatles and midnight snack with Mick and Keith. Dance with John Travolta and Tina Turner. Sit up in the clouds and look down at how the life in Victorian England really was. And in Egypt during the Pharaoh times. Weekends with my family on the other side. I miss my grand pa and granny and mother. And all of those aunts, uncles and cousins I love and miss. I haven't heard my mother's voice in over 54 years. But I still remember it. There will be a few beagles up there too. Misty Ann and Muffin Marie AKA Maxine will be waiting for me to pick them up at the Rainbow Bridge. By then there will probably be a Trixie and Baylee waiting too. Dipping down to kiss G-son and whispering wisdom into his little ears a few times a year. Smacking son up side the head just to freak him out LOL. I don't plan on hanging around my coffin for very long. I have things I want to do. A wandering spirit. I'm going to have to make a list and give it to God. At his convenience of course.

It's true that I don't drink a lot of milk. When I buy milk it is either skim milk or 2%. For some reason rrgular whole milk hurts my stomach. And it has to be ice cold. I would consider a goat for my family though if need be. DIL buys their milk at a local dairy. I assume she pays dearly for it too. They have an area there where the kids can pet the calfs and other animals so GS likes to go there. To me, all goat or feta cheeses are just too strong. I always try to eat it when it's sprinkled on food but always end up picking it out. I'm more of a swiss, provolone or mozzarella kinda girl. That I can get behind. 🐄 I didn't mean to imply DIL bought raw milk at the local. dairy. It's whole pasteurized milk. I wasn't very clear about that.

I don't like goat milk/cheese at all. Wish I did, but I don't. I could have a goat in Indy. They are going after Amish dairy farmers hot and heavy now. There is one farmer in particular, in PA that they have been harassing for a couple of years now. He is a private farmer who only sells to certain customers who sign a letter of agreement about knowing what they are purchasing and the risk involved. Not good enough for the g'ment. Look up Amos Miller in Lancaster Pennsylvania. It's shameful.

Sorry about your osteo related issues Littlesister. Ouch! My DIL has rheumatoid arthritis and has to take meds for it daily. Not fun at all. The last two months my Vit. D was back ordered too. I take 5,000 units of Vitamin D-3 capsules.
