Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. A very laid back day for me and the hubster today. Last Saturday while out visiting the East Austin Art Studio tours, I suffered a minor heart attack. Spent two nights in the hospital and got out Monday evening. Needless to say, it was not a lot of fun, and I am very glad to be back at home. This was a total shock to me, as I have been doing all the right things for my health. Lost weight, exercising, etc. But there were a few things I was neglecting. Some of the medications I was taking were raising my blood pressure, and I was not monitoring it so didn't know. I was also not practicing my zen techniques for not getting myself wound up too tightly. Ha Ha
I saw the cardiologist yesterday and was reassured that I am going to be fine, if I take meds and calm down. When asked if it was safe for me to take a flight out of town soon, he said...Only if you fly first class! I like my Doctor! It's back to aqua yoga tomorrow at the Y.
I've had you on my mind recently...hadn't seen a post from you in a while and now I know why. That must have been super scary. I'm glad you're doing better. Now take better care of you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet. Yes it was pretty scary. I am feeling so much better. I'll send you an e-mail one day very soon.
Deleteoh my hope you are recovering quickly and taking care of yourself, a heart attack is nothing to sneeze at for sure. hope you are having a reiaxing thanksgiving holiday
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. It was a very relaxing day. Since I hadn't shopped for groceries for Thanksgiving day, we had very simple food that we had on hand.
