Re: It's getting on that time...

Hi All

I am doing fine health wise. My last stress test showed a big improvement from the last one. I visited my 3 grandsons last month in Florida. It was great to see them. The trip is much too long to drive though. They moved there this past summer. I miss them terribly.

Yes the holidays are coming and now the real hustle and bustle starts. I do love this time of the year.

That is so great to hear that Guin is doing so well. I could stand to lose a few pounds myself. Great going and enjoy your trip.

I will try and make the chat, I went there once and there was only one person there. What time is good to show.

Well take care everyone !!

HI Guys;

Guin checking in..... I am doing GREAT! I won my re-election to my School Board seat last night and we have a new Governor.... (not sure if that is good or not...). I am doing GREAT healthwise also. I am down 85 pounds to a healthy weight, no longer diabetic, no longer sleep apnea or plantar fashitis. Heart meds have been reduced as well. I feel great and am glad the weight and election is behind me!

Over Thanksgiving break my hubby and I are taking our daughter and three friends to Disneyland.... Four Senior girls! We also celebrate our Son's 22nd Birthday on the 22nd, Thanksgiving and My Mom's 72nd Birthday.... Then on to the Holidays.....

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gail,

I can hear my valve

clicking so I know I am alive.  I wonder

if the next version of an ICD should come with the ability to store MP3

files.  We could play music so that when

we hold babies we would have an advantage over the not so fortunate folks who

didn’t have an Ipod built-in.   They would have to figure out how to charge

the battery without surgery and wireless communication to the ICD, but that

should be easy.  LOL

I happen to love

holding babies.  There isn’t anything

quite like holding a baby against your chest and feeling their soft hair on

your chin.  Best medicine available

unless they are hungry and their mother is nowhere to be found.  The biggest disadvantage to nursing moms is

that grandpa can’t feed the baby.

I’ll try to

remember the chat tomorrow night.  The

last time I joined the chat I received a long distance call and an IM using

AIM.  I am getting too old to keep up

with three conversations at once.  I had

my brother-in-law on speakerphone and forgot that my computer speaker is only

inches from the phone.  He kept hearing

the sounds of barking whenever I received a message.  Be careful what sounds you activate in a chat session.

Well folks with the elections over (about

time, no more phone calls), it is getting on time to start checking in.

Holidays will be on everyone shortly ( more running around) and we need to

check in to make sure everyone is still doing OK.

Also remember that tomorrow (Thurs) is Chat night.

Hi to all,

Glad to hear so many are around and doing good. Congrats Guin!!

Heart wise I am doing great.... but I need to try again for the weight loss surgery. Doc said since my heart has been quiet for a while now that my chances are better to get a Doc to do it. There is still some risk but a lot less than before. I am going to wait till after the holidays to do it because of the kids. This will be our first Christmas in the new house and we are all looking forward to decorating and enjoying the holidays.

Hugz to all and hope we all have a great Thanksgiving. I know I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

Gail,

How are you doing these days? Do you have family you will be with this Thanksgiving? Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you too and hoping the days are getting a little bit easier.

Hi guys--

I'm up and down. Heartwise things seem okay, but the huge dose of

diltiazem I'm still on is making my ankles and legs swell painfully,

and the ICD site still hurts, a dull constant ache that is very

depressing. I'm hoping they'll take me off warfarin soon; I developed a

clot on my leads just after implantation in May and I've been on

warfarin since June. I've been in the ER once recently when I kept

getting these strange spells where my heart would kinda lurch and I'd

get very tired afterwards, but nothing was wrong. I'm on my own 99.5%

of the time or more as far as the pacemaker is concerned, and knock

wood, no shock yet. Here's hoping increased good health for all of us

for the upcoming holidays.

Hello everyone,

I have been doing pretty well since my implant on 1/27/06. No zaps yet!!

I am so glad you all are out there. Because of you all, I don't feel alone. Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hello to all... I'm doing OK here...still doing cardiac rehab exercise and today beginning to work with the diabetic educator folk. I've been having trouble keeping my blood sugars in any kind of control. Hopefully there will be some suggestions and answers coming today. Have any of you heard of a drug called something like byetta? It's for diabetes, it's not insulin and yet it's injectible. They are going to try this one on me...and it has a side effect of assisting weight loss. Which is good - because my cardiologist wants me about 10 pounds underweight (hmmm...that will be a first). But I seem to be holding my own... mac+
