    Good Morning and Happy Father's day to all our daddies!

    Wanted to let you all know that on Wednesday I had what may have been a TIA, or mini-stroke. WAIT...no worries I have no side effects and my brain is as good as before!


    I was an hour from home and GOD brought me to the best hospital around for this issue. AMAZING.....I could have been anywhere, chose to drive home.........ended up in any hospital,.

    During all the tests they found a hole in my heart called a PFO (mine was an ASD/PFO)

    When we are in utero we have this and it closes up when we are born. In some ppl it never closes completely and I was one of those ppl.

    I had a procedure like when they do angioplasty........but they use a patch to close the hole. When they got in it was much bigger than they thought. Good thing I was directed here, they found the issue, and fixed it.

    I have always had this irrational fear of having a stroke......guess not so irrational, huh? :laugh:

    I cannot workout for a while, but think I lost some weight on my diet of IV drip :wink:

    Good news is I may have a more effective use of oxygen and can work out better when I am allowed! WoOT!

    Jeannie- Holy smokes lady! I am so glad you are alright. I'm also glad you checked in, I was thinking yesterday I was sending out a search party for you, but I didn't think about looking in hospitals! It sounds as if it all worked out well and you will be even better in the end.

    Jeannie- No worries?! Woman, I'll worry if I want to! OMG seriously don't scare me like that. You have become a very important person around here and My heart fell into my feet when DW told me. You just follow docs orders and come back even stronger. Love you to bits woman. you hang in there.

    Marla-Glad you reconnected with your dad. I know what you mean, My father has been far from perfect. But he kept me alive to adulthood and I know that he loves me. Also-So glad to hear about Sarah, You guys have invested so much time and money into her golfing future. It's nice to see someone else take some of the load. Good stuff.

    Richie- Negative Biopsies RULE!. Good new! excellent.

    Lori-That boot camp sounds FUN. I want to go to so I can be one of the younger guys whining while you run circles around me. 149 eh. That's awesome. Your a friggin super hero I swear =)

    Shuntae- Great job on the race. Definately dont get caught up in the 87 seconds. If I didnt live in Maine I probably wouldnt run. Can't stand the heat. I look up to you for it. Keep on inspiring us.

    Enjoying fathers day with the Kiddos. Taking my boys to see toy story 3. I feel lucky to have such great kids. Healthy happy boys. And when I look at them I can almost see the third one with them. I am truley blessed to have such great kids and such an amazing woman to share them with. Fathers day truley is a day for me to celebrate. I hope you all have a great fathers day.

    :heart:

    Jeannie-- oh my goodness-- what a scare! I've been on the go so much since Wednesday with Aaron's golf, and then my company visit yesterday, I hadn't even noticed you weren't around to worry in the first place. I'm a terrible friend!!!!!!!!!

    I'm so glad you're okay. Please, please, please take care of yourself and obey doctor's orders. You are the heart and soul here, woman, so heal that heart and bring it back to us whole.

    I love you to bits, too-- so glad you were led to good care. God is good.

    My. Body. Hurts. Sent the kids down to our basement Friday as a storm was on it's way. They came running back up to say we had water in the basement. I'm not talking a little bit of water. I'm talking water all the way up to our first stair step. Had to call DH to tell him we had a big problem. What a freaking nightmare! Hauled a pick up bed's worth of ruing stuff out of the basement. Bought a new wet/dry vac yesterday. Came home and sucked carpets out as best as we could. Cut the carpet into pieces so we can haul them up to get rid of them. Again, I say, my body hurts.....

    that means, uh, you got a good workout, then, uh, right? (trying to accentuate the positive-- )

    Blech-- sorry for the basement. Always something-- :grumble: :noway:

    Kati- I know the amount of work that kind of mess takes. We were hit at one of our rentals in Maryland, we were away for Thanksgiving and came home to a huge mess, 18 inches of water. It was like that for several days while we were gone and it smelled so bad. It's not a quick and easy clean up, we lost a lot of stuff, it was 2 of our bedrooms and a family room, plus all of our storage down there. Nightmare. I feel for ya!

    so, my friend Hilary told my kids a story yesterday-- seems she and I went into a photo both one day in our teens. After the photo, she commented, "You look great, but I look like a guy."

    She says I answered her, "Well, but you're a good looking guy."

    Did I always have a mouth????

    Sheesh-- seems so.

    Whaddyagonnado?

    I am home and FINE.....seriously this is the type of thing they found by accident and likely saved my life.

    Here is the bad news...............FIVE DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH NO FOOD AND I DID NOT LOSE A POUND:mad: :angry: :explode: :grumble:


    :wink: :laugh: :happy: :tongue: I could care less..........but it IS too funny. Wed morning I was 136.5. I thought "Well I ate nothing for 48 hours, ate a cardio (blech) diet for 2 days, and only half of that.............I HAD to have dropped 2 pounds, huh??

    Love you all

    Jeannie- sometimes accidents are awesome. You've got to remember though, if you weren't eating, they were giving you your nutritional needs in your IV, still calories my dear, even if you didn't chew and swallow them! Plus, seriously, the number on the scale at this very moment is soooo insignificant! Rest up and I'm so happy you are back here. Just seeing your name and pic always reminds me of sunshine and puppy dogs. You are positively delightful!

    Seriously, I have to jump in-- Jeannie, my dear friend, you were the first person on here to teach me to open up and let my heart show-- to embrace and love, and be embraced and loved-- (actually Fitness Chick, rest her soul, taught me to be myself and let the chips fall where they may after I got totally slammed for my snap out of it-ness very early on-- )

    I still remember your sweet picture, with you looking over the backseat of your car--

    This sounds like a eulogy-- ha-- but, you're so important to us all here with your wit, humor, kindness, passion, compassion, friendliness and love-- don't go scaring us again, woman. :angry:

    Bon soir, mon equipe de noir! Comment allez vous? Je suis tres fatigue!!!!!!

    yes, I am all THAT-- I can greet you in French, even! Go freakin' figure!

    Had a hard 5 mile run. Really wanted 6 tonight, but getting over a cold, haven't run since Tuesday, and Faith needed a ride home from a party, AND last but not least, my feet hurt and my legs were T-I-R-E-D so I bagged it after 5.

    I do believe I need to keep working on a different 6 mile route. The end of 5 miles is right around the corner from my house, so it's too tempting to stop. Mental note.

    Had a lovely little "beep beep" from somebody while I was running. Always a shot in the arm to a sweaty old lady. I must admit-- I do look awfully hard core out there. My water bottle, tank top, Asics shoes-- hoo-- I'd beep at me too. Ha.

    At first I thought it was my son-- I thought at first it was his car. But, that was silly of me-- he'd sooner run me over for his inheritance money (or what he thinks he'd get) than give his mother a beep of support. Punk.

    Spent a couple hours at the pool with the kids tonight. Very discouraged about the tummy tum-tum. How far a stomach has fallen since last year. Really at a loss what to try next. It is really gross in the ol' bathing suit.

    Oh well-- need to type-- hope all had a lovely weekend.
