Coasting Along

Just an update on my prognosis. I seem to be doing alright, which is just a notch below just fine. I have woozy symptoms when I walk, I should be using a cane, or one of those sexy four wheeled slider-walkers just so I don't fall, but I haven't quite got to that point yet. My heart beat is still fouled up, atrial fibrillation, and I take pills to lower my blood pressure, one to kill rats, one to reduce bad cholesterol another for something I've forgotten why, and a vitamin just for good measure. Once my rat poison (warfarin) medicine is stable for three weeks or so they will shock me if my heart hasn't retreated to is normal beat by that time. In the mean time I get to go to San Antonio to visit 4 grandchildren Mar 15-22, and then to Thailand Mar 25-April 20 to visit two more, and all that time I have to keep taking pills and be monitored for levels and such. But I can "live a normal life" the doctor said. No problem mate! I can do that. I taught school half a day yesterday, and am scheduled to teach a full day tomorrow, PE. I expect to sit and watch the kids and walk around enough just to get some exercise.
Today I tried to keep up with spring by digging up some misplaced tulips that showed up in the middle of the back yard. I transplanted them into three new pots that I bought last weekend (Libby paid for them because I used her card ;-)) and once the season is over we will put them in some logical border area somewhere. I happen to love tulips so I am quite happy they showed up. Can't wait to see what color they are!!!
I had a nice relaxing dip in the hot tub.
It is rather pleasant here, albeit cold. We can see West and South out over the Palouse hills and watch the weather coast along and come sliding past our sentinel firs, with the new fronts and black clouds followed by blue patches of clean, fresh winter sky.
