are leprachaun's fast?

Let me tell you about this past lovely week. No complaints, well as less to report. There are still very minor things, but everyone has something going on. This past Thursday at work I had the chance to sit down with another women who suffered from a stroke. She was much older than me, but we talked about how both our dominated sides were affected and the many trails. I told her every single step we take and move our weaker side the better we are off. She asked how long it took me to recover and I told her my story and how my family got me to the hospital very quickly and they put in me that blood dissolving drugs right away. In the end it doesn't matter about those details it all depends on your attitude and your outlook for your life. If you want to be okay with this then you are good, but if not. The only person that can change you is yourself, because anything we set our heart too is possible. That's what I am doing every day, day in and day out. My husband thinks I am crazy, but he has never known me with a good ticker. In the end, I believe he really likes it. This kind of attitude is applicable for anything we are struggling with. 

This Saturday my mother invited me to go run the Leprachaun Loop over by the capitol. So I was all for it. I ran the 10k and wanted to finish in 70 minutes. Unfortunately, I had to go to the restroom half way or I would have finished in 70 minutes. I came in at 71 minutes. The race was at Memorial Park in Salt Lake City. Such a beautiful park, but way hilly. We started off going up and that kept going until we turned around and all downhill from there, some flat areas my kind of running and much better than uphill. So shocked and dazed on my donor's heart and I am reminded every time I think over my week. 


LoLo and I oh so happy we finished


All the leprechaun's all together

Another week closer to my year mark and my annual visit! I am so amazed that it has been a whole year. There is so much I want to tell you, but check back next week and I will have spilled the beans. Steve, W and I went on a little hike this afternoon. Thanks Steve for the snap shot :)

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...
