32 of 365....5 Reasons of Happiness

Been missing this list since April 30!


It has been that long since I have felt well enough to have something to make me happy


1. Body pain is gone!

2. 2 weeks been off of the wacky stuff because pain is gone. No longer need the muscles relaxants either!

3. Been out walking and doing my own stress tests while out there and the heart handled it just fine!

4. Sinus pain almost gone!

5. 24 days until Halloween.....

WTF DAY...

This morning [5:30] started with a "Trojan"virus in my computer [where else would have it been] and happily my son had installed safe guards against this doing anything too bad. Programs fixed it all!

Maybe this was my warning to do a BACK-UP on all of my files...?

By 7:00 all was running smoothly again!


THEN....

8:45 my left arm from the elbow to my fingertips started to tingle like it had fallen asleep and the pins & needle feelings was the strongest I had ever felt! So much so, that it worried me. The sensation went away after 15 minutes but then I started to feel like I was going to pass out!


THAT REALLY SCARED ME!


Phone call to doctor's office told me to get to the hospital!


Poor PoD had to contend with her mothers problems again!


Poking, prodding and many, many tests later pronounced that all was well....

:)

As for getting any work done [what work?]...it didn't happen!


SO....
