Monday Jim spilled a cup of coffee and 3 bottles of water or pop. Kept feeling dizzy and fell 2 times, not telling me about the first one, had to help him up the second time. And he hurt his back that time. Tried to get him to go to ER, but while I was getting dressed, he layed down on the bed and decided to wait til the next day and see how he felt. Jackie came down, and he got up to go to the bathroom while she was here and fell again.
She called the ambulance and they took him to Harrisonville hospital. In the ER they found when he sat up his BP dropped some, and when they stood him up it dropped 20 points. His heart rate was also 48 50. This was causing the falling, and the tremor in his hands that was causing him to spill things. They got that under control.
He has an impact fracture in back, they transfered him Thursday evening to Menorah Hospital and early Friday did an injection of a compound that hardens and fills the fracture causing healing and getting you your feet quicker.
He got to come home Friday evening.
It was so scary. He has been doing those tremors and dropping things for quite sometimes before the dizziness from BP dropping began. The meds for his heart condition they took him off of. The dr. will need to decide if to keep him off and monitor him or put him on a lower dose so his heart will not overwork.
I was so scared. The kids really helped or I would not have made it. But hopefully he is on the mend now and will feel better. It seems he has had one health issue after another for the past year.
He needs some Happy Time.

WORRY AT TIMES
Jim had is carotid artery surgery June 11. He seems to be healing ok at incision. He felt real good last Sat, but as with everything when he feels good he over does. He has had some blurry vision, and dizziness the past 2 days. Think he lets himself get hungry and blood sugar drops. At least he feels better if he eats. He could also be having some low blood pressure.
He went to regular Dr. Wednesday, and he did a chest Xray, and called today and said it looked good. He complains of wheezing and shortness of breath after exerting his self. Think if he loses some weight he will feel better.
His family from WV and Kentucky are coming the end of the month. Always have a good time visiting with them. Hope he feels good while they are here. I think when he has something to do he feels better.

SUMMER FUN WAS NEARLY SUMMER TRAGEDY
Last week Eric had a motorcycle wreck going to work when a deer ran in front of him. Thankfully he was not seriously hurt. Roadburn, bruises, and broken clavicle. They put in a plate and 12 screws and he is healing.
Feel so lucky that God was touching him.
Sunday was Ty, his son's graduation. There was one happy celebration that we could all be together to celebrate. I will be forever thankful that this turned out well.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY...NUMBER 77
This year I ask the girls to take me to Hamburger Marys, a Drag Queen place., They had been and it looked like fun,and a new experience for me.. I am trying to do something different on my birthdays from now on out. Wild crazy and unusual stuff.. After 70 you should do that.
We ate, drank bottomless Mimosas and were well entertained. I just had a grand old time.

THE GOOD NEWS IS I AM LOSING WEIGHT
April 25, 2015 I had 6 bottom teeth pulled and implants put in to hold dentures securely. Well in about 3 or 4 months when implant is healed to bone. Til then it is regular dentures.
Was pretty rough the first 3 or 4 days and stayed pretty pilled up. The dentures are rubbing and made my mouth sore so have had them out a couple days. Get stitches out Friday. Next week will have them relined and adjusted so hopefully they will not be to bad for a few months.
Gave me a jumpstart on losing a few more pounds. Have not felt like exercising though, so will need to get back with that.
I hope this works out like it is supposed to. Will not know until the process is complete.
Today was not a good day in the family. Eric had a motorcycle wreck going to work when a deer ran in front of him. Skinned up and broken clavical. May have to have surgery. It could have been so much worse and I am so thankful he was not hurt worse.
Jackie has been having some breathing problems, and Jim too her to ER today. Has been battling bronchitis for a few weeks. She is getting some testing and seeing a lung specialist next week. Will also get her annual heart tests done too, so hopefully she will be feeling better. She quit traveling and took a permanent job now, and loves the house she has rented. She needs to have some stable good times for awhile to enjoy her grandkids.
This is going to be in my prayers constantly.
