Update and April's Gotcha Day

So frustrating. I've had more trouble breathing with activity again even though meds were increased. One more week and I'll wear that blasted heart monitor and I still have a CT ordered which I'm debating on. Probably won't show anything. (negativity coming out, sorry)

My hubby tells me "Be smart. Don't over-do." How can walking through your house be 'over doing it'?! Bah hum bug. I knew some of you wanted an update. Basically, I'm doing okay. I'm just tired of sitting on my hiney and feeling afraid to do anything. Okay..putting on happy pants....

Tah Dah...Sweet little April will be having a 'Gotcha Day' soon! We adopted her on March 7 of last year. She likes to 'murder' stuffies and dig DEEP, LONG holes after gophers. Do I care? Nope. I love that sweet pup!

All that gopher digging makes her dirty. Since it was warm yesterday, I decided to bathe her. Here she is having an after bath nap. She's bright white again...until the next dig.

Parsley:
My mom said to tell you to take it easy, get plenty of rest, which she knows is hard to do at times.
We love the picture of April she is beautiful!

Prayers continue for you my friend. Coco is jealous, she wants to be as clean as beautiful April.

Such a little angel you have there! :)

Don't over do it, definitely. Sage is a wise sage. Just do what you can. Are you setting high expectations for yourself, or because you think other people expect you to?

Happy Gotcha day for April. Digging and getting down and dirty is the best. Yikes don't give my peeps ideas about a Spring bath. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly

Hugs.

Don't let the frustration overwhelm sensibility. That said, I know full well just how frustrating it can be, dealing with health issues and the medical profession (with the nothing but aggravation the insurance providers add to the mix)...

Everyone wants you feeling the absolute best you can - all the time. Somehow you got to "get there," and hopefully knowing your friends are behind you 150% is of help.

Your little dog is darling - they do sleep well after a bath (probably dreaming about how to get all stinky and dirty again!)

Keep the chin up Piglet.

I wore a heart monitor for a month at Christmas. They are such a pain.
I hope you feel better soon.

Sharon said...

Hoping that your medical *stuff* gets resolved soon. It's really, really hard when things aren't working right. Prayers for you.

And April is beautiful - such a lovely coat of white fur. At least until the next gopher-digging escapade! ;)

GOD BLESS!

Parsley,
Please listen to Sage and your body. I know how frustrating it is to be still when you are used to activity. Use the time to stitch, write letters, read, organize a drawer ... the little things we put off until we can get a quiet moment.
April is a sweetie!
Your Friend,
Deborah

What a cute doggie! Wishing your health concerns sort themselves out soon - remember, stitching is therapeutic and doesn't take much activity!

Sarah Beth said...

Your sweet puppy does look like an angel. Was it too hard on you to give her a bath? I am praying for you still. I do understand what you are going through. It can be so frustrating when your body grounds you to just rest. I get discouraged too sometimes. Hang in there. I'm praying for you. We all are praying and are here for you.

April is such an adorable sweetie. I hope you get some answers and medication that works for you. You are in my prayers.

Linda said...

Sending prayers and happy thoughts your way Parsley. April is a cutie.

April is too cute! I bet she loves being there with you. I'm sorry to hear of the health issues and will be praying for you. It's very difficult not to do things we want or feel we need to get done.

PeggyR said...

Oh I hope you get better soon. The new puppy is cute!

Dont cancle the MMR...they tend to show most things and often with health it is a process of elimination which gets the result, so even if it doesnt show anything, it will discount lots of things. I will keep you in my prayers xxx

How can you not be wearing your happy pants with April around?! Continued prayers, one day at a time.

A few years ago my hubby had this problem and he is on a medication that works for him and does really well. I am thinking of you and praying too. Take it easy!
