Sherry's back home in West Virginia

                                                                             

Sherry and I went to a new State Park (Werner Boyce) to check it out.

It has a nice kayak launch where you can go around in the mangrove bush for the day.

If you do not own a kayak, you can rent one here on site.

A nice boardwalk and several hiking trails that will be a good way to spend the day.

It was a bittersweet day this past Mondy as Sherry had to load up on a plane and go home.

She stayed a long time with us making sure that Nancy and myself could get along without her.

We left in time to visit John Chesnut Park where we had a nice time.

Sherry was tickled because she got to see a great number of squirrels playing around and not only seen alligator, but the alligator was trying to catch a squirrel upon the shore of the lake.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 
 

Have to stay busy doing something

 I'm sorry folks I'm still not doing very much these days and I know it will take time to recover fully.

But stick with me through all this.

Yesterday I did get out to gauge up the air in the tires and clean out the inside of the car a little.  

It was a big chore for me just to do that especially with the heat well into the middle 90's.

I'm not used to getting so wore down in such a short time.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Nice day and weather.

 Still trying to hold back from over doing it.  But I'm still doing some small stuff around the house.

                                                                     

As you can see I have my appetite back.  I try to have something for breakfast each morning

Yesterday it was waffles and sausage to start the day.

Our daughter Sherry and I took a side road down by the gulf waters to see some new areas Sheryy has not seen.        

                                                    

Sherry likes to see boats and houses along the gulf.

Its always nice to get out and enjoy the day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

 

Improving and it feels good

 Sherry and I have been going to the stores a little more, so I have been doing more walking.

I can tell I'm beginning to get stronger the last couple of days.

In fact I told Nancy that I believe I have turned the corner.  Yesterday morning I woke up around 1:30 am and as I was lying there, I started thinking what I could do when I got out of bed when daylight came around.  That sure sounds like my old self.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Another Great day

 A few days ago, Sherry and I took time out to visit a nearby park.

                                                                        

I was wanting to go to a platform out over the water a little way up this walkway.   But first Sherry walked to see how far it as, she thought it might be a little too much of a strain for me so I said ok since I'm not to overdo it.  

                                                     

Bird enjoying the day.

                                                        Boats out for a nice day.

                                         

Nice flowers planted out around the park.

It was another great day to be out to enjoy the cool breeze off of the gulf waters.

Also people out in the park and small toddlers in the sand with grandpa and grandma taking care of them.

Just another great day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

 

Hanging on

 I'm still hanging in there.  I think this is one of the toughest things I have faced.

My moods are jumping around from day to day and although I know that is going to be the case there's still nothing I can do except fight it.

                                                                 

The children thought this rainbow that was over and starting or ending over the house a nice thing to see.

I will tell you that there is no "pot of gold" on this end of it.

A beautiful sunset at the end of the day one evening after one of the many rainstorms we have been having.

I have not driven in almost a month and the Cardiologist said I should be able to around the last of this week.  So that give me something to look forward to. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Trying to get out more.

 It been a tough couple of weeks getting used to having the ICD in my chest, but I'm coming along fine its just a slow process.

I've still got two weeks to go before the Cardiologist wants me to drive. 

He wants to make sure that the wires coming from the ICD to my heart is set so I will not pull them out of the heart.

I also have to wear what I call a harness at bed time to keep me from accidently raising my arm over my head.

We've been having rain storms about every day.

Sherry and I did get a chance to go to the Serenova Tract to check it out.

A nice small lake for fishing,

Nice trails for hiking, bike riding or horse riding.

I sure love being out in the woods.

And of course another rain storm on the way home.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

 

 

Sometimes life takes a different turn.

 Well life does get in the way at times.

Last Monday a week ago as I was getting into bed I passed out. This was the second time the first being the last of March.  Both times while getting into bed.  Both times Nancy shaking me to wake me up.

Only this time I had slight pain in my chest.  We waited a half an hour then called the ambulance, which took me to the hospital.  After checking me with a blood pressure of 211/95, then an EKG and some more test.  No need to go over all the test.

Bottom line was I had to have a defibrillator implant done on Thursday.  So I guess you might say my heart short circuited out.

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day

     

Basketball is over

Yeah, basketball is over!  I've been watching the NBA and usually I just watch it during the play-offs.

This past week end I was watching The US Golf tournament.   I like golf and I even tried it one time and it did not interest me at the time.

I'm going to have to get out more because I have been sitting around to much and my body is telling me that I need to move more.  I have been going to the store for groceries, but they are only short trips and also It is a quick trip in and out.

So, this week I will try to do better.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  

Out a little.

 Nancy worked up enough nerve to get out of the house yesterday in that she wanted to get her haircut.

                                                                       

 As you can see it was a beautiful day.   She goes to the Great Clips in this strip mall which is only a mile and a half from the house. 

                                               

Today I ventured out a bit as I was wanting to see what the new Habitat Restore had that I might need.

I did not get anything for myself, but I did find a nice bar stool for Nancy, that she could sit on while doing dishes at the kitchen sink. 

The other day I was talking about the couple of air-conditioners that went out.

It seems that was not the only thing that went on the blink.  I had to buy a new phone, oh it was working but, it would randomly call the difference people that are on my contact list.

Also, a couple of times I would be out shopping in the store and it would start playing music.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

                                                                        

Money, Money

 OK, I'm still around and still more or less covered up with what I've been doing.  I guess I kind of let it get to me.

Nancy and I was back to the Eye Institute to get a follow up on how our eyes were after the laser surgery.

Nancy said she could not see very well out of one eye, but the doctor said he couldn't see anything wrony with her eyes. So, what does she do?

I was seeing really good out of both eyes, but that day my eyes were blurry.  Mybe it was the eye drops they put in my eyes, who knows?

Anyway yester day Nancy called the Eye Institute and told them we forgot to pickup our prescriptions for glasses. They told her I would have to come in to have the refraction done on mine before they good get the prescription?   So it was finished up, with Nancy's eyes at 20/40 and I was surprised mine were 20/30.

The cars a/c is worked after getting the coil evaporating coil installed but my dash is a mess.  The sun made the dash brittle so when they were taking it loose it fell into pieces. At least Nancy has her air-condition.

Now to the motor home where I had to get a new a/c unit for the worn out a/c.  So after money, money we have cold air blowing again.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
