Morning to all. Thanks to those who have asked me about how Sis is doing. She is still in hospital (hopefully home today). They have done angiogram which was clear, gotten rid of fluid on lungs and around heart. Had x-rays and MRI to try to figure out the pain in shoulder/neck (not determined yet). She has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and so will be restricted on sodium and fluids. She already has diabetes. She never smoked, but her husband of 50+ years did and he died about 10 years ago from emphesema (sp?) and other complications. So now both of my older sisters have CHF and that makes me more certain that I'm going to call my dr and have her check out my fatigue and all to make sure it is nothing to do with my heart.
Exhausting week, but I didn't smoke! YEAH!!!!
Today is my dad's birthday. He would have been 97 years old but died at 64 from lung cancer....yes, a long term smoker who quit 7 years before his death. Love you dad!
I'm going this morning for a massage. Stressful week. My other sister is more and more confused and it was a struggle to keep her calm this week. She "heard" me tell her that they had to help Sis breathe and that all the family was going to hospital on Monday because it was so serious (not so). Then it turns around to her and her problems. Love her but it is draining some days!
Anyway, enough of my whining.....no thanks, don't need any cheese with that!
I'm staying smoke free today.......I have 234 days of Freedom!!!
