This and That




.

 

.


Well, we have wore the Heart Monitor and had a few spells and pushed the button and have taken it off after the required time, *(terrible to sleep in it),  and we took it back to the Heart Doctor for him to read and see what is going on!!

Well we are still coughing, taking anti-biotics- and breathing treatments and am tired, One of the reasons I enjoy this singing and playing is I was a heavy smoker, working in those police cruisers or walking a beat could not wait for a break from fights, brawls, accidents, barking dogs, speeders, etc, etc to get a coffee and a smoke!!!
My Doctor at the stroke center said singing was a great way to help with recovery by playing guitar and adding words to make the brain concentrate of doing 2 things together.
.
My Heart Doctor also said singing was good exercise, my lungs are 17 1/3 inches long, the normal lung is 14 to 16 inches long, they have to take 2 x-rays to check my lungs.

This is the 7 lead Monitor to check up on some things !  This is NOT ME, it is the picture they use to show the placement of the 7 leads for the nurse to follow.

.
.
I have 6 stents in the heart to increase circulation and 1 stent in the neck following my stroke so I am pretty good at following Doctors orders on what he wants me to do, he has saved my life several times!!  Right now I am on mega doses of an anti-biotic 3 times a day for my lungs and being checked for atrial fibrillation and couple of other things.

This hanging basket was started with 3 little Petunias in it, we fed it, talked to it and pruned it and this is what we have now, growing next to it is my (Morning Glory) curled around the white crook which has not done good this year, I only have 3 flowers on it.

.

.
The  Church Service this morning was done at John Millers place, a nice spot cut out in the woods, a small stream and a pond was our back ground, I was careful and only played, I did not sing due to my lung problems, nice service.

Hope the monitors aid in the diagnosis. Then We trust something will be found to solve the problem.

Pretty good the Drs agreeing that the picking and grinning help the heart. I have no doubt about that.

Take care The flower by the flowers is pretty too!
