It's going to be a party so you don't want to miss out on this one.


My week was another great week. Work was good, our aide got sick on Thursday and I had to see my patients and also all the aide stuff too, like clean the beds, change the sheets, put hot packs away, make sure the clinic looked nice and clean and schedule patients next visits.  I am very thankful for an aide!! It is so crazy how the small little things make such an impact.
Anyone can set a goal, but can they always achieve that goal is the question? Here are some steps that may help and have helped me.

Here is one of my goals: To be able to ride a 50 mile bike ride by myself with no pedal assist bike.
Back in June I rode with my mom on a tandem bike in the Little Red bike ride and we rode 50 miles. Yes the tandem was powered by our bodies, but my mom was my assistance. On the 15th of this month I am going to ride in the Pedalfest on my Stromer which is a pedal assist bike for 50 miles. Depending on how well I do, the next bike ride I am hoping I will be able to be on a normal bike with no assists just the bike and my body. I am taking small improvements to achieve my huge goal. No matter where you are at you with your goals, you can take little steps to reach greatness! Never stop believing in yourself, because guess who won't!! :)

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...
