rough weekend

This past weekend was a little bumpy since my angiogram, the doctor told me to take it easy for 3-4 days after because they had to go through my right femoral artery which is a huge and major artery. That meant no running, biking or hiking. On Saturday I decided to go for a walk/run, the majority of it I walked. This time I went 4.7 miles, the longest I have ever done!! During it though I was struggling, I would be running and then I would go like a block and be tired again. Man, what does taking 3 days off? I wasn't that nice either this past weekend, not sure what it is but I was in the slums. Today I feel a little better because now I am able to be more active. Maybe it's because I wish I was working again because what I do is the greatest job ever. I've had a handful of interviews and only one job offer... Stinky! All of this that is going on made me think, if I have faith in Him our Heavenly Father, He will provide a way. I know sometimes it is hard to wait it out, but then I think to myself, " Hey, you had an LVAD, ya GUS in you only 3 1/2 months ago and now look at you." Patience, a job will come in His timing. Trust in Him.

    It will all come around as it should! I have learned A lot of Patience he last few years! Take this "TimeOut" and embrace anothernew challenge or something you can develop. As a wise Skwig once said "it is the slugs on the fence that give you perspective" and they are SLOW!!!!

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
