Health Scare

Hi everyone, as promised,

I’m back to tell you what’s been going on~

For the past several years I have been learning how to navigate

with advanced arthritis in my feet

I have a cane and with that, I have been getting round just fine

In recent weeks though,

I noticed I was getting weaker and weaker

It was getting more and more difficult

to move around the house without the help of a cart or a walker

and my appetite was non existent

Tuesday night I fell down, twice

After the second time,

my son and I decided I needed to go to the hospital

and find out what was going on

It turned out my sodium, potassium and magnesium levels

were very low and I was in A-Fib

Yikes

So there is a lot of work to do

I’ve been in the hospital since then

and they are giving me meds, IVs,

and working on improvements and adjustments

I will continue to be here a few more days,

then I will go to re-hab to work on getting around better

I feel fine and am ready to move on

and get back to normal life

I am trying to view my hospital stay as a vacation,

people waiting on me, meals served, a private room, haha…

Please come back on Thursday and we will get back to recipes,

art and the more fun side of life!!

Thank you so much for your prayers, kind words, and well wishes

They mean more than you will ever know…
