It's a dark dank rainy hump day AND I feel like Crap! 🐪

I am soooooooooo glad that I'm living my Forever Quit! I've had dizzy spells and light headedness with weak legs off and on in the past, I think I even mentioned it here a couple of years ago BUT the spells stopped just as quickly as they started and nothing much showed up in the tests so that was that! Anyway about a week ago I started getting the odd dizzy spells and light headedness again, this past Saturday I really felt like crap BUT I still put on a batch of brown bread then I thought I'd make Mark a batch of cookies so I got an egg from the fridge I got so lightheaded and dizzy and I felt nauseous my legs got so weak that I barely got to the couch, I have a blood pressure monitor so I started taking my readings which is all over the place. I got through to my Dr on Monday and told him what happening and gave him my readings that were anywhere from 166/95 with the pulse 40 with a flashing heart symbol to maybe 98/ 68 pulse  98 with the flashing heart symbol and at times it's a normal reading with no flashing heart! Anyway I got to see my Dr yesterday and he's hoping that I see a specialist at my local hospital next week plus set me up with another 48 hr holter monitor again UGH! He took my bloodpressure and didn't like my pulse being so low at 40, the reading was 161/91 I'm just so thankful that I don't smoke anymore because if I did I'd be sitting outside in a plume of smoke coughing choking and nearly horking up a lung or possibly even both trying to get that damned fix UGH BUT NOT ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE! It's amazing how powerful this addiction is BUT it's also amazing that with commitment and perseverance we can AND will kick the nicotine poison to the curb permanently it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination BUT it's absolutely Doable! Please take your health seriously and quit smoking, Vaping or dipping it's all highly addictive and definitely difficult to quit BUT our lives literally depends on us to nurture and protect the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the GIFT OF LIFE! There's quite a thunderstorm going on right now with heavy rain we've got 2.5 inches so far since last night, hopefully I don't lose power! 🌩

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
