Monday's Musings

So, the whole idea of getting back into the blogging world kind of hit a wall. 

 

On Wednesday, I took my sister, momma, and daddy to Dad's dr appt in St. Louis.  We had a lot of fun!  It wasn't what I would call a STRESSFUL day, but there were some decisions Daddy had to make about his health - dialysis or not.  Didn't get back until later in the evening, and had a lot on my mind - still not stressing, but didn't get around to blogging.  Thankfully, we weren't in school on Wednesday, so I didn't have to have a sub! Yay!!  We did get the info that school would be back in session on Thursday, so my snowcation came to an end. Boo!

Little did I know, that I wouldn't go to school on Thursday, or Friday for that matter.  I woke up Thursday at 4:30 am, and ended up going to the ER with, what felt like a heart attack, but couldn't possibly be one, BECAUSE I'M TOO YOUNG!!!!

Well, folks, I'm here to say, I'm not too young!  I had a heart attack!  At age 47!  I am not a smoker, I just lost several lbs (50), I don't exercise too much (but I do some), and I'm pretty healthy!  So, why in the world did this happen?  Who knows, but much to my dismay, I am now in the category of Heart Patient.  The good thing is, I don't have to make too much of a lifestyle change!  Mainly just watching that sodium, and getting a little more exercise than I normally do!  The biggest change that this girl is going to make?  Appreciate everything, and don't sweat the small stuff!  

Am I scared it will happen again?  Yep.  Every twinge, every odd pain, every minute, every day.  However, I do know that as I was preparing to have the angiogram, and being wheeled into the procedure room, I said, "Lord, this is all in your hands, I'm giving it all to You!"  I felt such a peace when I scooted over onto that table, and I already knew I had complete faith in Dr. Beck, so what more could I ask for? 

And Another I couldn't resist!

Here's to more blogging, less stressing, and a whole lot more Peace in my Heart!  Thanks for stopping by!
