Wednesday Hump Day

Well.  Had a very eventful Tuesday.  Took Gary to the hospital complaining of shortness of breath and chest tightening.  When I asked him if he wanted to go to the ER he said yes, so I know he was worried.  They got him right in, drew blood, did an EKG, chest x-ray, cat scan and didn't find anything remarkable.  They decided to keep him overnight and watch him and possibly do a heart cath in the morning.  Don't know for sure.  In 2000 he had a mild heart attack and at that time he had an artery that was 65% blocked.  They think probably in the last 9 years the artery has become more blocked.  If so, they'll probably do angioplasty.  Will just have to wait and see.  Poor guy, he just retired one month ago.
For some reason I'm not tired.  Spent all afternoon and evening in ER and I'm home and dressed for bed, but my eyes don't want to close yet.  Did a load of laundry and just finished folding it.  Maybe I'll take a tylenol pm and hit the hay.
I'll let you know how Gary's doing.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Two Wednesday posts ... Jan, sorry to hear about Gary. I'm up and working, waiting for stuff to do. I'll be up at home after 3 and up til 5 a.m. if you want to talk. Still at work now, though.

Good Morning Jan, OFFr's!

Glad your Gary decided to go the ER route, because no matter what, he is in the very best place to be and I'm hoping that whatever they determine that Gary will be home and feeling better in short order!

All things considered, this week is flying by and I while I am still feeling sad and have my teary moments, each day gets a little better, it's the waking up in the morning moments and the walking through my front door in the evening that is hard to do.  I had planned to go to the gym, but I just could not bring myself to go, I will get back there, but I'm just tired and I'm guessing a little depressed.  When I left work last night, I realized that for most of the last 13 years, I rushed home looking forward to seeing and making sure Dillinger was cared for and last night I had no real reason to go home, so I called my son, my DIL and figured I would go visit the grands, but no one was around, so I went home and my friend Diane, who is my house mate, had made dinner and I ate and watched my soap opera and then Sunday's episode of Brothers & Sisters before going to bed.

I woke up early to my new reality, put on a pot of coffee and came to see what you all are up to, after this I will take my shower, get dressed, maybe I can even manage to wear some make-up today.  I will try to find something to be cheerful about and today I will go to an AA meeting, perhaps that will help me some and I will attempt to go to the gym.  

My thoughts and prayers are with all, wishing you a good day and the strength to get through whatever life serves up.

Hugs, Laureen

Laureen, I'm sending you a great big hug. Dillinger was your baby and you need time my friend to accept this loss of your fur baby and friend. You need to grieve for awhile. When you are ready rescue a dog that needs a home. You have lots of love to give and there is a dog out there that really needs you. That dog won't replace Dillinger but will fill a need that both of you want and so much need.

Be sure to go to the gym. It will help with your stress and loneliness. It also will help your body feel better, exercise will help with the blues...it's just getting to the gym that's a big hump to get over...once you are there, you will feel better. Hugs Laureen!

Thanks Debbiejean!  I do appreciate your wise words and I brought my gym clothes up into the office so that I can change before leaving work today and hopefully my car will take me in that direction, instead of home. . .

Hugs back to you!

Laureen, you are just like me!!
I brought my gym clothes up to my office too...It makes me more accountable, I put them on before I leave then I HAVE to go to the gym. It's just a mind game I use I guess.
Spin class for me today after work.

When we get down it does seem like we just want to head home, put on our jammies and we are "done for the day".

I'm still recovering from my vacation. It would be so easy for me to go home and "rest" but I need to exercise. My pants are a little snug after that cruise! Ha...gotta hit that gym...and my support group on Saturday.
