Wednesday - 3/19 - Cardio & Cafe

Sorry I'm late. I had a pacemaker check up this morning. 3 more years of battery life left. Turns out that technology has changed enough since this little gadget was implanted that I'll be getting a whole new pacer and battery in a few more years.

Some of yall will remember that last summer I had to have iron infusions....turns out that my low iron last year had caused an arrithymia (sp?) that showed up on my pacemaker reports. Toward the end of August it cleared up....the nurse in the office this morning recognized me from the infusion suite. She was able to explain everything. The low iron had resulted in low oxygen delivery to the heart causing the problem. The infusions cleared it all up. No more signs of trouble since late August. Please, Please, please......learn from my experience.....make those lab work appointments and follow up. Take those vitamins!!!!!!!!!!! Educate yourself and step up and go toe to toe with that doc who thinks your low "normal" levels are acceptible. Thank God I have a wonderful Primary Doc who is in my corner and listens when I tell her those "weird" things that are going on.

Today's plan is looking like:

Early AM : Coffee

Breakfast: Omelette w/ mushrooms and cheese

Lunch: The meat from an Arby's classic (Notice I don't call it beef - not sure what it is but I LOVE it)

snack: Celery & Peanut butter

Dinner: Fish & Asparagus (both grilled with lemon)

Yall have a great day!!! I've already gotten in a lot of walking today. It's looking like a good day!
