    Hello, I am trying to return after a long break since last September. I was in a hospital for a week and have a mental illness so I had to stop all my extra leader duties for my team. I didn't realize we were so far into the Spring challenge. I know I can join at any time but should I wait for the Summer Challenge at this point?

    I hope everyone had an awesome Mother's Day who celebrate. I did. I got to go out to lunch with my 2 daughters and then we even visited my mom. I have been exercising a little more lately with the weather being better and go for 30 minute walks a lot. I thought I might as well record them for a team and be a member at least. I do miss it and liked the accountability and the community. Take care.

    Hey friends. I’m at emergency. I was having chest pain and shortness of breath this past morning and I called 911 because it was so much like my first cardiac episode. My cardiac enzymes are elevated, and it appears the left half of my heart is pumping sluggishly. They took blood to check for a clot in my lungs and for heart failure. They also did a chest x-ray. I’m waiting to hear what the next steps to figuring out what is wrong are. Prayers welcome!

    This is the third time I have had heart problems and each of the other times they have not figured out what is going on. I was the victim of torture through electrocution and it led to these issues. I am hoping they figure things out this time as I don’t want to keep doing things that will make me worse but until we know what the issue is I can’t work to safely correct it.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. I have to meet with someone from Facebook at my office right before work gets out as she might be purchasing the tablecloths from my wedding. I am really looking forward to that. We can definitely use the money for our vacation in August. I don't really need the wedding stuff so why keep it. I have tons of napkins to sell as well. Those are polyester as well. Joe started school yesterday and he has been working on it for every waking moment. I am so proud of him. I know he will get burned out, but he is trying to get his system down. Which I think is good. He is trying to figure out how he can do school, work, and still spark sometimes because he really loves doing spark. Tonight we will not be making any extra money as we have life group.

    @slstrake1975 - I think you would be alright to rejoin your group, or join another group. I am glad you had an awesome Mother's Day. Welcome back. I am glad your health is better so you can come back.
    @aalley5 - That is good that your energy is back to normal. It makes it so much easier to get back to some normal in your life.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes, it is so frustrating. How is your health doing?
    @missionalman - Oh man. Please keep us updated. I will be praying for the best. I agree that they need to get down to the root of the problem so it can be corrected.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

    Tabatha

    So the bloodwork came back negative. After an echocardiogram which showed nothing the head of cardiology came to the ER to examine me and confirmed that my heart is inflamed but couldn’t tell if it was myocarditis or pericarditis. I’ve been ordered to rest and take extra strength Advil 3x a day for two weeks and go back if the exacerbation gets worse. I am still going to do gentle stretches and make sure I keep moving my body in ways that is easy on my heart, and work on my diet and my mental health! Can’t wait to get back to full steam so that I can give this challenge my all! Thanks for the well wishes friends!

    @Missionalman, So sorry it's been rough and it is rough!! I am glad they did so much to help you out!! Do you have a regular cardiologist yet? If so, no doubt s/he will do a series of tests. They did not find out what is wrong with me until they did a heart catherization. OH if you google things, and you will (LOL WE ALL DO!) keep in mind unless the articles you are reading are from 2022, mine (diastolic heart failure) said I'd be dead in 5 years!! But, though that was true before 2017 (meds are always improving for HF) it's surely is not now and many even before that lived a long time. My Dad who had 8 heart attacks at least 4 of them were biggies, lived for over 20 years with it!! That was all before 2017. Just becareful to follow through on all they say, and you'll be okay. Glad you rejoined the 5%! That'll help you to lose.
    Here's what I have on my phone to help myself to remember everything I do can either hurt or help my heart. Its on my home page.

    @Tabatha_Cain , did you sell the tablecloths? And perhaps even the napkins? I hope so, and if not keep on putting them up for sale they WILL GO! It's that time of year!! I hope Joe does well in school. How did work go? UGH on my foolish health!! That foot! OH MAN that foolish foot!! We know I'll get through this, hopefully without an infection. I will lose another bone, it's a tiny one, LOL that will NOT help with weight loss. I've explained this to my body. I am so fortunate they thought I'd lose this foot back in 2016, and now it's 8 years later!! AMAZING!! If I do ever lose it,,,, should I change my name to Eileen Bea Down? You know humor helps me out.
    @Patti241, HI Patti!! did it get really hot? Today we hit 72 and I am so HOT!! Soon I'll have my AC put in!
    @aalley5 On our team PS4L we have a leader who wanted to QUIT when they saw how HUGE the pictures were!! LOL for a moment I HELD MY BREATH!! SILLY leader she is. Glad they are back to normal size!! On Sparks we went through so many changes, guess it's the nature of sites.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is going to be a good day. I am feeling pretty good today, and I am going to get a lot done at work today. I am hoping to get some memberships and I am hoping to get some referrals. Those are nice to get. Today is a Door dash day. So I will be out door dashing while Joe is at home doing school work. I am hoping to get some big orders today. It would be nice if I could get some big orders. I did get a new bigger catering bag for my door dash deliveries as it said I qualified for catering orders and I needed a catering bag. So I got one. Now I have it all updated that I have the larger bag and I can do the catering orders. I am so happy about that.

    @aalley5 - Yeah it would be nice if the emoji's were a bit bigger and they could leave the pictures alone.
    @missionalman - So glad they at least have a direction to go now. Hopefully their treatment works. Definitely be careful with any and all exercise. I am sure you will be back to full steam in no time.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I did sell the tablecloths. Still working on the napkins and other things I have left over from my wedding. Work went well yesterday. I had a good day. I am sure stuff will sell right now. I am sorry your foot is still giving you issues and you have to have yet another surgery. You will get through this without an infection. We will be praying for that.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

    Tabatha

    Good morning everyone!
    DH and I started our travel to our grandsons graduation.
    The flight was good but the car rental ran out of cars. We only had to wait about an hour.
    My first trip since last June!
