Tonight our pres will keep us updated at 8 P.M.

Last night after I wrote this Blog I was almost an emergency patient, but the problem fortunately subsided with some help from an additional dose of aspirin, I think.
It was like this, I had muscle spasms in my head and neck, and this is the first for the head, and it was dreadful and unexpected, just out of no where.
But it did make me think of my Mom’s two years of TIA’s, Tran ischemic Attacks, prior to her major stroke; they too subsided by the time the ambulance arrived. I too was informed of having TIA’s when I had all those MRI’s back in 2006. I decided not to go to the hospital and to wait and see my doctor.
The earliest I could get a doctor’s appointment to see what is going on is for tomorrow morning at 9:30 A.M., they will probably just check my carotid artery to see if it’s clear or not.
With all the medications that I am on for cholesterol and blood pressure plus aspirin, even that Ace Inhibiter that I have now been on for a month, I am surprised that this could happen.
Anyway, I did feel a little better this morning.

And so this morning we left on our errands and it was my first day trip in over a week, yippee!
Talk about cabin fever, and yes even the disabled get it!
We went over to the home warehouse store to pick up some 4X4’s to continue the fence project, as well as the exterior white paint it will be painted, and even some seeds for our new veggie garden!
Then lunch at that not specifically healthy restaurant, but pushing the four meals for under four bucks hamburger fifties themed place, and then onto the other warehouse store for this and that coffee, cat litter, olive oil, bath soaps, three pack of the liquid, etc. and all completed before two P.M.!

Around a quarter to four, my phone rang, and yes I took out those silly rings on my cell and put the normal old fashioned one, and I heard from an angel named Gabriel who said she was the director of land acquisition for our local Habitat For Humanity and my initial email had been forwarded to her!
Wow! I was extremely impressed she was incharge of the changes that I was so interested in, and wanted me to know that they were purchasing some homes to recondition, and buying empty lots where they could to fill those needs of people with government grants that they receive. I assured her that I was very well aware of all the good that they do, and thanked her for getting back to me.
Caveat: those nine homes that they were building were just a few blocks from my own home, and it was all a part of what they do, nine homes in nine days, which I knew about from my neighbor that I have mentioned before. The one that is the young man who helped my husband many times before and most recently with our tub surround, any-who they are friends, he, Gabriel and his wife too, and he helped them on that recent project that he told us about in the interim. You see he is in construction as well as an artist.
Sorry, that I forgot to mention that.

Tomorrow check back with me and I will try and give you additional updates on whatever.
Please people I do hope that I have not lost you all with my medical issues! Keep reading… I must get onto that next level.
I really hope it has a classier name.
Take care and be aware!

Good night to all and to all count those blessings and I will too!
