Well Donna and I are doing OK.. Not great but OK.. We'll get by one way or another.. As Donna has posted I got to be a guest of MAMC once again.. What a waste of government money.. It took the doctors two days to figure out what a cardiac nurse saw in the first 10 minutes of reading my test results.. My potassium was to low and was causing irregular heart thumps.. Other than that we are just trying to get through Donna's school without strangling teachers, bosses, bosses bosses, and most importantly each other..
I'm still working out, and restarted the water aerobics again.. Trying to get to where I look like a human being instead of a beached whale.. I figure it's gonna take a while because I am not able to workout like you see younger and healthier doing it.. But I am trying.. My bmi (body mass index) has already dropped from 29.6 to 27.7. That means I've gone from being morbidly obese to just plain obese. Not that I can tell any difference as of yet.. To me FAT is FAT.. But I want to get there and have alot of support in the way of my trainer and a couple of body builders who are there at the same time I am.. And a Jerry Rice clone of a SgtMajor who is there almost all the time.. Or was, I think he went somewhere with the corp, or something, y'all know the Army.
Anyway that's the update on what's happening.. OOOPS Leanna is growing like a weed and now chases Moose all over the house.. He just runs, jumps the gate, and goes and hides in bed.. My mom is in the hospital/nursing facility with MRSA and EColi in her lungs, and is being given all kinds of meds to fight it.. Dad has decided to go through a medication regimine instead of surgery to try to fight the cancer.. So with those last little details you are now up to date on it all.
Love to all my family and extended family.. We Miss You..

Life
Well once again I found myself a guest of Madigan Army Medical Center. It was a minor thing involving a med that I haven't taken in about a year, and low potassium levels. Thank God for thorough docs and nurses who know my history. It all boils down to lots of stress, mostly self inflicted, and wrong meds, and overworking myself.
Leanna is still a pure joy our lives and makes me laugh every time she comes over. Growling at PawPaw is one of her things, of course she loves it when I growl back. She chases Moose around the room, and he doesn't know what to do with her. He'll run up to her and give her a kiss and then runs away when she giggles.
About three weeks ago Chance invited Donna and I to go team penning with him. He told me later that he didn't expect me to show up, but guess what I DID. And I had planned on getting back in the saddle about June. I blew that out of the water, even if I did have problems with my balance. It felt really good. A few days later I went back and got on Chance's horse Cowboy again and spent about an hour just riding at a walk and getting the feel back again. Can't stand his trot he is so short backed it's like sitting on a jackhammer.
That's about the extent of the excitement in my life so now you are up to date with everything happening.
Hope this finds you all in good health, spirits, and taking care of each other.
Love to you all who are parts of my family, including those I have adopted.
