Gray, Gray, Go Away

For the sake of the sanity of almost everyone in the Pacific Northwest, Gray Skies, go away.

It has been almost two weeks since we've seen the sun.  This is detrimental to the health and sanity of almost everyone I know.  I slept for 17 hours.  I went to bed at 7 pm and didn't get out of bed until almost 1 this afternoon.  I think I must be part grizzly bear. 

Had a bit of a scare earlier this week.  Wasn't feeling so hot Tuesday night.  Couldn't get comfortable in bed.  Wednesday wasn't any better.  Was abdominal and then moved to chest pain.  This was how DH's heart attack presented back in '05.  Didn't want to take a chance seeing as we were to leave for Oregon this weekend (now postponed for a week).  Went to the ER.  My EKG said a history of past heart damage.  Doc's don't think it's so.  My blood sugar was way high.  So, after spending the night in the hospital and in talking with my doctor it looks like we will get more aggressive with treatment of cholesterol and blood sugar.  He's thinking the pain was gastric.  I know, deep down it's cardiac.  Even if the tests don't comfirm it.  Oh, well.  At least now we are going to be treating things a little more seriously around here.  My fasting blood sugar when I woke up was 114.  Way too high for fasting that long. 

Time to get serious about losing this weight.  In 30 years I have gone from weighing 100 # to 185#.  Too much.  Give me strength.
