Life goes on

 Just out of the blue Thursday the doctors said Nancy could go home.
So, without any reason that Nancy is acting like she is slowly going downhill.

She is not acting like herself with that we thought she would be better off at home.
Sherry, Vicki, Joe and I have discussed what we may have to go through and are prepared to do.

Nancy and I have talked to the children about at our ages and what they may be going through.  


Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

Nancy's in the hospital.

 Sunday, we had to call the ambulance because Nancy not acting like herself.
The techs on the ambulance said they think they needed to take her to to the hospital to be checked out.

They asked me if she had bumped her head which she had not.
So, they checked to see if she might have had a stroke.  So far, they don't know the reason but are still checking everything.

She thinks she is in a hotel that our son has bought.  She starts to talk about something but can't finish it. because she says she noes what she wants to say.

When we went to see her, she has improved a little.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Lot of apointments and tests.

 Nancy and I went to our Cardiologist yesterday, it was Nancy that had an appointment.
He listened to her heartbeat and lungs and said everything looked good.

I was supposed to have an appointment in February but with her heart and irregular heart beat I forgot about my appointment.

Dr. Siva gave us appointments on the same day and just about the same tests.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Same "O"

 Nancy is about the same.  Having good days and bad days, she has days that she can't remember things that she should.

I went to the cancer center Friday, after not seeing the doctor for around a month ago.
I was surprised when my numbers where higher than I thought it would be.
The doctor told me to cut my in half and take one a week instead of two.

I told the doctor maybe I could get where I would not have to take any medicine.
He said no that I would take some medicine because the pills are helping raise my numbers that my body would not do.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Prayers for Nancy

 Nancy has been saying that she is looking thru a haze and needs to have her eyes checked for new glasses.    Upon getting checked the doctor said the glasses she has are good and she doesn't need new glasses.  He said he is going to check her eyes further.                                                                                     Upon checking her eyes front and behind her eyes that she has Macular Degeneration in both eyes.

She has an appointment with a Retina Specialist June 19th.

Theres more going on with her health that there's no need to post about.

I ask if you will say a prayer for Nancy she is going through a rough time.


Thanks for sopping by and do have a great day.

Watchman

 The hospital called and they told her to be there at 9:00 am Friday.
So, Vicki, Sherry and I with Nancy was there.  
After all the paperwork it took and much waiting, they finally took Nancy for surgery to have a watchman put in at 11:00 am.
With the watchman put in she will not have to take pill for any blood thinners.

Since we didn't have breakfast, yet we went out for breakfast.

We knew that Nancy would be a while before she would be in her recover room.
So, after us having breakfast, we went out to the gulf waters
It's so relaxing with the breeze coming and watching the fish jumping out of the water.

After getting back to the room Nancy had just come back from the procedure.
The doctor who did the surgery said everything went very well. filled us in what she can and can't do for the next 5 days.


Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.

Nancy again

 After eleven days Nancy came home.  She was doing well and using her pushcart.
Well, that is until three days ago she was going to the bathroom and instead of setting on the toilet seat she sat on the side of it and fell to the floor hitting her head.
We called the ambulance the guys thought it was better to take her to the hospital to check her.

Checking her they said her heart was going into A Fib again so now she will have to go through another procedure.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Our daughters are switching.

 Vicki our oldest daughter left after staying two months with us.
Sherry our youngest daughter is down here with us.

We try to tell them they need to stay home because we are old and can take care of ourselves.

I believe they think something will happen to us and they would not be here to take care of us.
Nancy and I keep telling them we may be old but not helpless.

We just got to be by ourselves for a week while were switching for one of them to come down.

Since Nancy can't spend but a short time on her feet I fixed our meals.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Along the coast

 Nancy is doing about the same with all her pain she is not able to do much.
I guess I'm not doing to good myself.  I'm catching myself watching the television too much.

Basketball is coming to a close for the college guys.  There are two more games and the season for them.

                                                                      

When I see a doctor down around St. Petersburg,  I like to come back on Alt 19 along the coast where you can look at the water that is so peaceful.




The trees are bent in different shapes.  On a nice day you will always see boaters out for a nice day.


                                                                           

Here is some guy's fishing.



A nice walking trail.  
Nancy and I walked along her a couple of years back before our health decided to take a nosedive. 




Nothing like siting out by the gulf water.



This route takes you through the town of Dunedin where you can stay a day or two or maybe all winter long.



You will not have a problem finding a place to eat.

Maybe you like fast food or a high-class restaurant, they have it here. 


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
