Having a heart attack, has left me with many unsettled feelings. Unsettled?….is that the word I am looking for? What does unsettled mean…..
Main Entry:
unsettled
Part of Speech:
adjective
Definition:
bothered, upset
Synonyms:
active, agitated, antsy*, anxious, busy, changeable, changeful, changing, complex, complicated, confused, disorderly, disturbed, explosive, fidgety, fluid, flustered, inconstant, insecure, kinetic, mobile, mutable, on edge, perilous, perturbed, precarious, rattled, restive, restless, shaken, shaky, shifting, shook up, tense, thrown, ticklish, troubled, unbalanced, uncertain, uneasy, unnerved, unpeaceful, unpredictable, unquiet, unrestful, unstable, unsteady, variable, wavering, wobbling
Well there you have it….apparently “unsettled” WAS the right word, because I can relate to all of those words, with the exception of tickled maybe? My unsettledness…is that a word?…is really about fear I think. I am out of my element. I am having to do everything a little bit slower and that’s hard for me. The other day, I cleaned my whole house. I took my time doing it. I felt pretty good. Afterwards, I had a feeling that it was probably not a great idea. I guess I was right…..
I went to see my primary care physician on Friday for the first time since my heart attack on December 26th. I was told that I am doing too much and I need to consider the fact that I had a heart attack and just how serious that is. I was told not to lift anything more than 10 pounds for two weeks. My God, my dog weighs close to 20! Added to that order, was no work for 2 weeks. On January 2nd and the 4th, I had some heart issues, that I shared with the doctor. She was concerned, so I am now wearing a portable EKG monitor, until Sunday afternoon…..a total of 48 hours. I cannot have a shower for two days!! Yuck! I let them know I was allergic to the EKG buttons I wore in the hospital. Not a problem, says the man that hooked me up with the portable….we have hypoallergenic ones! Oh goody. To make sure I was not allergic to the hypo’s, he put one of them on my arm for 1 minute!!! ONE FREAKING MINUTE!! I told him it was not long enough. The allergy did not kick in at the hospital for at least 24 hours!! Oh no….he says…MOST people will show a reaction within that minute! Yah right. So….as you may have guessed, I am at the 27 hour mark right now and would really like to tear my skin off, where every one of those EKG buttons are touching my skin!! I am going to try and forget about it and see if I can last until 1:00 tomorrow without ripping them off!! Wish me luck.

Take care of yourself!
Great guns of Glory! My much loved daughter-in-law has finally decoded the message we've all been trying to get across to her: "Rest, read, sew, crochet, write, rest and more rest!"
"Debbie,dear heart, you're always on the go, doing for others, working, attending social activities and helping those in need,etc., but never attending to yourself. Now you must take care and TAKE IT EASY!"
Just what the doctor ordered and just what we have wanted for you! Luv ya ... GeeGee
It's so hard to rest when you are not used to it. Keep trying, you will get the hang of it. Glad to hear you haven't been smoking. Big gold star and an A+ for you sweet girlfriend. I can see us now, riding on our exercise bikes together, peddling down the road, eating apples and oranges as we go. We will so healthy no one will be able to stand us. Sounds like you are now on the right track. Hugs,and get well wishes, Kathleen

Debbie, You need to follow what your doc tells you and believe me hard, hard, hard. I thought I was doing what I was directed to after my c-sections but come to find out, adhesions. Bad girl I was, they told me straight out. Yep, you will be back if you don't listen is what they said this last time and I listened! I also found I have a allergy to the adhesive too, mine is on the tape of all things!!!Grrrr! Make the tech note that in your file! Next time he finds himself disagreeable he might listen. Hope all is well. PS. Obie might not think he'll live without being held but he will...!
You need to take care of yourself and do what the doctor says! Your life has changed, make a new routine and follow it, young lady.
Hello, NE Bloggers!
Our 1-year anniversary is coming up on Jan 27. To mark the occasion I am going to put up a Mr. Linky on the evening of Monday, January 25. If you'd like to write a post about living in NE, fav places to visit, funny stories and stereotypes, recipes, photos of our gorgeous landscape, anything, it would be great if you would link in. I'd also like a little idea of # of participants, if you could just send me a reply.
Since I don't have emails from everyone, I'm also leaving this message in your comments, sorry for the double-up.
This is my first visit to your blog. As a fellow Mainer, I will be back to follow your journey.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

OMG, Debbie, I just now caught up with your ordeal, I've been so wrapped up in mine! You are very lucky indeed. It really is a big wake-up call and I'm so happy that things have turned out ok, at least at the moment. Good grief.
I'm a little older than you and the older I get the more I realize how fragile life is. We really need to take care of ourselves....big time....and it isn't very easy.
Good luck to you, my friend.
The writer of blueberryplains.blogspot.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: Its impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat. I will be back.
