[davedajobauk]

Hmmmm, Dave...
do you think your bodily needs will level off at some point?

The stairs and the heart are probably not good companions...:duh:.

I think of you often and feel you have a lot of suffering going on these days....((((((hugs)))).

The Ramipril, is issued/prescribed, at gradually increasing doses
1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg
and their effects at each stage is assessed, via bloods and water

The heart failure clinic, have arranged for me to join an exercise class
[details to follow] that will teach me how to exercise 'safely'
This, I am told is to insure, that I simply do not waste away, but,
instead... surrender only, very slowly

My 'condition' is not of the sort that would benefit by insertion of a pacemaker
and 'surgery' would be considered for me, if the help provided by meds
were inadequate
or, if my condition should worsen, before symptoms become controlled by meds
I am told, that this heart failure, may have happened years ago [originally]
but, that the body has made the heart 'buck-up' to cope with my body's demands
Today, it is simply saying "don't push so-hard, I have limits"



I promise you Shirley Sis'
that I do not SUFFER 'anything'
This is, [to me]
just another day in my life
Where, just 5.5 years ago, I couldn't have dreamed, of coming, as far as I have



As for those stairs....

I approach them slowly [do not hold my breath]
and I give them, one step at a time
I have had to pause a few times on the way up [recently]
and even stand-around, for a few minutes, at the top
before, heading to the bedroom
Post-editing:
Several years ago, our neighbour 'May' had a stairlift installed for her husband
[now deceased] and passed the pre-existing bannister rails to Mary and I
I installed them on the wall side of the staircase ~and am able, to hold on with both hands

Mary asked me earlier re: the painting of the bedroom doors
"Just need to be got 'out of the way' "

My reply [?]
"All in good time"

You have been in my thoughts and prayers Dave It is no fun adjusting to those meds!
When my thyroiditis was at it's peak and my heart was acting up, I was on the same regime as you for a short time.
Occasionally my diuretic/blood pressure meds causes trouble now; it can just exhaust me.
Continued prayers for your strength, comfort and healing

Giving you a big hug Dave....

Good morning from Southwest Oklahoma. We got our little Hank and Lucy groomed yesterday, and they're prancing around - knowing that they deserve extra attention. So, we gave them extra attention.

I wish everyone a great day.

Same to you Tom...I gave Gracie her monthly bath today...she tends to love water.

 

[angelwind]

It is Friday....I will be out getting groceries...hotter weather expected for next week...o well...it is still summer.

Hope your weekend is super!

 

[Norah63]

Got a load of clothes to hang on the line before it gets too hot.
No rain here for us so far. Drought will effect prices in the fall I'm sure.
Sad to drive by all the large farm fields and see the crops ruined.

ROFLOL That is so cute!

I may be offline most of the day; my headache came back yesterday and is still hanging on.
With little sleep and a lot of heat and humidity here, I am going to try to stay cool and relax.

TGIF: have a great weekend

Yes, it is sad, reminds me of Biblical droughts and famines....

I got up twice...once very early with hubby...then I went back to sleep after he left.
Gracie was very tired after the walk yesterday....we are thinking the heat gets to her...soooo even tho difficult, she will get minimal walks until the heat leaves.

I have things to do in town...tomorrow we are cleaning out the big freezer chest.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Hi Shirley
We are laying low because of the heat and humidity too!
Our best bet to walk is very early AM or later PM after dinner (but before the skeeters come out).
Our road is very sunny and hot in the daytime, and with Penny's short, flat, snout it is hard on her.

I have a couple errands also, but it will give me the chance to be in the AC

Have a nice day

I enjoyed the ac too...but sort of am tired today...I think its the higher humidity...it is draining...Gracie is her perky self today...she has gotten very little outside time.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

We stayed in most of the day ~ just online, reading, and TV.

This afternoon, hubby took Penny to get the mail, and for a leisurely stroll around the yard to inspect things

After supper I went to get a prescription refilled, and to pick up chicken and strawberries.
My daughter, her 2 boys, and her new beau are coming for supper Sunday.

It is still hot and humid here; no storms today....but it is still very draining!
The AC in the car was refreshing; we have all the fans going in the house.

Have a restful night ~ God bless

 

[nChrist]

We continue our triple digit weather over 110F - did I say that it's hot?

Our little dogs don't like it outside at all - it's just too hot for them. They want back in just minutes after we take them out. In other words, they're spoiled, and we allow them to chill out under the air conditioner.

They are not dumb, that's for sure!
Penny asks to sleep in the bedroom with the AC (with a temp of just 80 in the house); THAT is spoiled

Have a nice Saturday everyone ~ stay cool

 

[NIrelandGillian]

Hi Everyone, sorry to hear the heat is so unbearable for many of you. We are experiencing quite mild temperatures here and today is quite pleasant. Andrea is home for the weekend and she and James plan to go and see Brave. I'll be the taxi driver for that. Otherwise just doing the usual daily stuff and half watching/listening to the Olympics.

Have a great day!

Gillian

 

[angelwind]

I am having a hard time waking up here...very hot days are forecast for next week....ugh.

WE have some light chores to do today at home...(waiting for Fall).

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I LOVE that siggie~ it is adorable (you know me LOL) and your coffee bean greeting is neat too

The heat and humidity is SOOOO draining; we get very little done here, and if we do anything we just DRIP

Yup...FALL will be great when it comes this year for sure!

Take good care
