Day By Day 104

 Yesterday turned out horribly, after I had a walk with Deb.  I also walked with Bill later in the day and saw a TV show in the afternoon, but after dinner, we watched another movie with Arnold Schwartnegger and that was recent but not great. By the way, the afternoon movie was from 41 years ago, written and directed by Alan Alda. It had Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, and some others.  It was weird.

So last night at 10:15, my alarm went off and we couldn’t figure it out. It turned out to be an alarm for the heart monitor and I had to leave it off all night, and it took a long time to get it on this morning.  Finally, we did.  But it really shook me.  I must do the changeover two more times before it’s turned in Tuesday.  Ugh!

Day-by-Day

  Well, I’ve decided to go back to a day-by-day blog, with whatever happens to me that day being my source of the blog.     Pretty simple, if not too clever.     I’ve done the blog about the right speech issues, and more recently the blog about how my past has changed after my strokes, so this new blog will be very mundane, about whatever occurs to me each day.     Today I did my exercises, walked with my husband, then we had lunch and I watched part of a movie, then finished my last blog, and now here I am, being a new fresh person with only the thoughts that occur to me right now.     I have been excited about reverting to something superficial, and that includes allowing the fear of not much to say be foremost if it must.     Today I wondered again how much I might need to show that I have a mind that is active and occasionally exceptional.     I am worried this week about what to do and not to do.     Do I vi...

Day By Day 17

  Today I had my one-month checkup after my Catheter Oblation.     Things are looking good.     I feel great and have no lingering side effects.     I hope to be able to stop the sotalol.     For 2 weeks I’ll do half a tab then hopefully discontinue it.     Let’s see how it goes! Today we had the cleaners here in the morning, then we took our walk after that was over.  I had lunch, and then rested until the conference call.   Now I don’t exactly know what to do about the rest of the day.  I guess I’ll try to call someone and talk.  Deb or Sharon, perhaps.

Day By Day 13

  Today was crazy, as the last few days have been. First our TV arrived at 8:00 am.     Then after breakfast, I did my meditation with Anam Thubten online, then the dharma talk, which was about equanimity.     It was a good one.     I also tried to eat a salad, two peanut butter sandwiches and a pear.     Then I rushed inside so we could be ready to follow Jessi, Scott and the boys to a pumpkin patch an hour away.     It was a great place, but very windy today with a lot of dust being kicked up.     We met some friends, and then did our best to keep track of the two grandsons, two other kids, and various adults.     Lewis and I had a great time listening to the music, and he really loves it.     We saw bees, piglets, bunnies, chickens, a burro and a cow.     We saw a frog and caterpillars and pumpkins galore.     I got very tired, from the wind, the dust and other things, so after we...
