Snowmom

I want to say to you all for your comments, and for reading my post. I know Cat, it seems that no one come in here like they use to. I come in maybe one time a week other than to post. Sometimes not even that. There are weeks I don’t get in here at all. Midnightmom, I had no choice about my pace maker, I was flat lining every couple minutes or so. The surgery takes only a short time and then they kept me in the hospital a three days with the first one as I have 2 wires, one for the top and one for the bottom of my heart. It sounds like most of the time it is just one wire. The second time I was in for the day is all, went in in the morning and was out in the afternoon. When you first get the pace maker, you can’t lift your arm above a certain level as you might pull the wires out, but, other than that, it really is not bad. I am so thankful that they have something that helps people like us. You are doing really good on losing weight. I have gained back what it took me 6 -8 years to lose. I really have to start walking on the treadmill and riding the bike again. So yes, To everyone out there, take good care of yourselves and if you are told you need a pace maker, get one. I'm not sure what they do for the tachycardia, could be a pace maker could help there too. all again.

I seem to be going down and down. I think I will have to start counting the other things as well. I have just figured since I have my fit bit, I should only count the miles on it. Of course I don’t get any miles counted as I stand and do the dishes or can or cook/bake or whatever. Therefore if I were to count that, I would probably have another 3 miles at least. ********* Ok, who will be ********* Who is going to join us?

Last Friday I had my in the hospital pace maker check-up. From the looks of it, I have 8 months to 34 months life on this pace maker yet. She said it would probably be around 1 ½ to 2 years before I need a new one. So, after being told this one would last 5 – 7 years, this is good news as it has been 8 years since I got this one.

Momo, I understand about not being able to do as much as you use to be able to. Not only am I not getting the exercise in, but, I'm gaining back what I had lost and I don't like that. I'm going up in sizes and I am so discouraged. I know I have to get back down and do a lot of walking and riding and it just isn't happening right now. ********** Here are some things that count for miles.

I haven't been on for several days, and yes, Trudy, I did get your info. I've been busy all week canning. I know, I do get on Facebook more.

Yes, I know I'm late again, but, I have been busy all week. I've gotten a lot of canning done, well for me it is a lot. We had bought 2 bushels of tomatoes and I've been working on them all week. I have the last to do this morning. . ********** Here are some things that count for miles. These are as you can count them, 1 mile will = one mile.

mommato3boys, I think it is 6 so far with you and me.

Glad it isn't broken, but, yes, sprains are known to hurt worse than a brake. Hope you are better real soon.

.I have tried several times to get in here and have been unable to get in so that is why I am so late in posting. I don't always get as many steps while canning as other times, and one of these days will get back down and ride the bike. ********** Here are some things that count for miles.

Thank you all for your looking and your comments. It is good to see you again Homesteader, I'm sure you will be able to get involved. I was asked how long I plan to do things for the fair and my answer was, "As long as I am able". I don't see any reason not to do this as long as I am able to do it. I enjoy baking and canning and doing crafts so why not do it for the fair.

Thank you Momo for making this post. This is the first time I have had a chance to get in here to post. We have been busy canning and today I am able to come in here for a few. We went to a couple Amish farms on Saturday and so Saturday afternoon/evening I canned 19 pints of green beans, Monday I canned 7 pints of Bread and Butter Pickles, and 14 pints of Oven Dill Pickles. In the evening we froze corn, we started out with a bushel but had eaten some for supper so froze what was left. Tuesday I canned 4 Quarts of Oven Dill Pickles, then we went to Pizza Hut for our lunch with others from church. In the evening we froze another bushel of corn. So have really been busy. Today I have a bunch of beets to take care of, I am in hopes to get some pickles made and can the rest so I can use them as I want to. As for miles, last week I got 29.28 according to my fit bit.

Thank you for looking.
