because it felt like everytime I opened my mouth it was whining or something negative.

 

I keep remembering what I was taught growing up.... "if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything" :nuhuh:

 

The last 6 weeks with Dave has been TOUGH in and out of hospital, caught him smoking :angry2:

which didn't go over well. But yesterday we went to his Cardiologist for a check up and as of this moment (hopefully many more momenets) he is doing very well and on track!! :happy new yea: concerning all his heart issues.... it was funny though the Dr asked him about smoking, i didn't say anything, DAve just looked at me, the Dr said if there is anything that you shouldn't do EVER again, its smoke, he looked ashamed and I think it was enought for him to SMARTEN up again... i didn't catch him at all yesterday smoking. He did make a comment about it on the way home and I heard him tell a friend on the phone how the Dr stressed about smoking. So, I hope he has the fortitude and self disclipline to completely stop!!

 

The Dr's are now going to finish persueing his neurological issues, that were put on hold due to all the heart problems. We are happy about that, to finally hopefully get more answers concerning his stroke and what the total damage was (not that anything can be done at this point about it, but still nice to know some answers).... it really still irks me that when Dave had is stroke once the hospital and Dr's found out he had no insurance at the time, they all just dropped the ball and basically sent him home with NO followup or therapy of any kind.

 

it is a beautiful sunny day here and I was able to watch the sun come up over the pond which the beauty of it never stops to amaze me.

 

I guess it's time to go and pull some weeds out of the gardens... I wonder why it is that weeds are the only thing that grows good and strong for me.... a gardener I am not.. but it's fun to try and pretent. I pull flowers thinking they are weeds ... oh well.. all i can do is laugh and try and learn the difference.

 

Hugs to all, have a great day.

Anne,

 

I hope that Dave's cardiac issues are resolved and that you both can get some neurological answers you want. As you said, it won't change things - you might be better not knowing. There was info that I never knew as my daughter did not tell me until recently. Did it make a difference or change things for me? No, though the new knowledge made me realize that in even more ways I've progressed farther than anticipated.

 

As to the smoking - hope Dave is successful at quiting. Perhaps he could use the nicotine patches if his doc ok'd them. It is difficult to break the habit. In some strokes, that desire is eliminated - that would have been good for many of us.

anne, that is great news from the cardiologist on dave. i too hope he can quit successfully. i know how hard it is to quit. lets hope the neurologist has good news too. we can always hope. dave needs to stay well for awhile now. so you both can have some great days ahead and just enjoy life. don't worry about the weeds, they always come back. i'm sure you are a better gardener than most. maybe you both can go away and spend a weekend somewhere other than home. your blog even sounds more upbeat now. i think a big relief has been lifted off your shoulders.
