Yes - and I also have a distinct heart ❤️ ' Flutter' - that the only sensible fix - is by fitting a pacemaker - and can actually feel the arythmia pulsating at 4.39 am - here in Becket Ward - getting me thinking 🤔 that at any moment this could lead to a heart ❤️ attack - which is rather worrying dogzter -
I call that extremely worrying.
How are you doing with the mental stress at this point?

Got better than half of the laundry list of things to get done before my own hospital adventures. The usual suspects. Draw a couple more tubes of blood. Pee in da cup. Chest X-ray. After I got back home the VA calls again and gives me a phone number to set up my stress test.

Does anybody answer the phone at any of the clinics? HAHAHAHahahahahhahahahahaha funny. Thankfully it's close by so I trapse back over and hit Imaging where they actually do the test. Nope wrong place you'll need to head back to cardiology to make the appointment. Wasn't I here an hour ago? LMAO we can get you in on June 20th.

Nope doesn't work for me you'll need to squeeze me in somehow. She says I'll message both the techs and call you. Phone rings as I get home. Naturally it's the VA again. WooooHoooo we've got a cancelation on the 1st of May.. Bingo!!!

All that is left now is donating the pint of blood and supposedly that paperwork is underway.

Don't miss using one of those. We only had to use that when visiting my great grandmother who lived on a mountain in TN near Knoxville. She passed when I was about 12 or 13. Did not miss that place. My last visit was for my great uncles funeral. I drove my grandmother to bury her last sibling. I was 8 month pregnant with my first. That trip sucked. Not a trip any one in that condition should make.

Quite an enlightened and exceptional choice for a 13yo.
IMO of course :)

I almost forgot about this song.
IMO it should be translated into every language possible
then given to parents at new births to sing to all the babies.

Sure is better than that ole tune of "rockabye baby in the tree top..."
WTF does that mean anyway? No love nor lessons in those lyrics.
Kinda scary actually if ya ask me.

"cause if you stay with us, you're gonna be a little kookie too" :huggg:

It was the summer of 1974. I was 16 and had become a ward of the court
after my father beat me up (again) and I finally reported him.

There was this crazy red headed girl named Wendy who brought her albums
to the shelter. I became enamored with "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars".
Know every lyric, note etc. even to this day, by heart.
If not for Wendy and David, I don't know how I'd have survived that summer.

Yanno, I used to be embarrassed and would not ever talk about the things
that occurred in our home growing up.
Feeling isolated,that this is just 'normal' and/ or we are alone,
the only ones going through these things.

It's unfortunate to discover as we age that everyone carries trauma,
all to different degrees with different life long effects.
We are not alone in this. And, it is cathartic to talk about it, I think.

We are survivors for certain.
I've decided that surviving isn't enough though, I'm going to thrive
and live the rest of my life with joy and a sense of abandonment of
that which had stifled me from my past.

Our scars, both internal and external are our proof that we lived
through it all and are still here.... a little rough around the edges,
a little achy perhaps, etc,. but we are ALIVE.

This is but a blip in the journey Gypsy. That scar will become a reminder
of your strength, what was necessary to not only live but to be truly ALIVE.
Time will pass, there'll be grand babies, great grandbabies, just so
many fantastic adventures yet to be had brother.

Your legacy will grow on (yes, double entendre intended ;) ).
The pain you feel now will pay out in unimaginable joys to come.
This is that 2nd. chance, the opportunity to grab that brass ring, to thrive.

Okay... I'm definitely too flipping high now and babbling :D
Sounds like you have learned the life lessons that your soul needed this time around. I had a happy childhood but grew up in a very rural area surrounded by backward people. When I started smoking pot it completely isolated me from the community. I have had a few VERY close friends but I have been alone for most of my life because of the marijuana lifestyle that I have chosen. I would not change anything. I am living my PERFECT life. 😁🌈

Cloudy here starting at 45F and predicted to reach 63F.

Gym this morning and then off to Fernhill dog park while the housekeepers hose the place out.

My daughter and SIL are flying in this afternoon for a visit, so the next week promises to be busy!
