Al part of my "leap into health" program, I had a calcium channel scan last week. It is to determine if there are any blockages in the vessels and veins around the heart, The Cardio doc called me personally.
Which is scary, because they never do that unless it is really.....really bad news, right?
But he said they I was 100% clear anything! So that was good.
In the genetic pool of Parental DNA I must have gotten my heart from my mother and my ability to store fat an from my father. My mother was skinny skinny and had no heart issues. My father tended to overweight with lots of heart and cholesterol issues. I got his migraines, and lets hope I didn't get my mother's Alzheimer genes.
Today I have a treadmill stress test. I am sure they will want me to run, which is dangerous for me since I have Meinuers Disease which makes me unstable. Hence the fact that the lst time I ran, I fell and needed 2 knee surgeries.
Elevated running is not in my future.
The other day I wanted to know if I could rust a piece of cotton batting. Here are the results.
I thought I had rusted two pieces, but it turns out I lonely rusted one.
So, Yes, it can be done. And it give the fabric a lot of texture. I loved the way the striations fall on the batting.
And there is a new technique I want to try , but it may have to wait till I get back from Germany..

I was attempting to take some photos of the boys, but all I seem to get is noses.
What, mom? looks.
And I can say the Story Time Adventure was a good one. that we will repeat. Frank took Sawyer to the library for a scheduled Story Time reading for kids his age. He seemed to have a great time.
Yesterday, when his dad came to get him, he was riding his tricycle, still going full steam. Then we all came inside and relaxed before dinner. He is surely a busy busy boy!
Oh those genes, they CAN do you in. My doc says my high cholesterol is hereditary. I just don't worry too much about MY health issues. I have to spend far too much time taking care of Terry's. I wasn't raised by my parents so I have no idea what else must be in for me, though I did inherit AND pass on my mother's mental issues. Thank God medicine has found drugs to treat it. I shudder when I think about what she must have went through. Oh, I never get good pics of my pooches unless they are sleeping or playing with each other and don't know I am taking a picture. Don't you wish we had the energy of our grand kids? They must be using Energizer Batteries, lol. I know a lot of blog friends that also rust die fabrics. It's always interesting to see the results.

Health issues are so scary. Dementia is prominent in looking through my windshield, but gotta have something. What are they doing for your Meniere's. I don't do a lot of things I used to do, but after the crazy physical therapy/rehabilitation if I actually do the exercises regularly, life is better. Luckily my Meniere's is a result of the chickenpox virus attacking a nerve so I take antivirals to keep it at bay. The same virus attacked an adjacent nerve and caused trigeminal neuralgia which believe it or not makes the migraines I used to have look tame. All are tempered with medication.
ReplyDeleteI think Sawyer is adorable. Love the pictures and stories.
Congratulations on your test results! I would definitely tell the stress test people of your issues and your knee replacement. Don't do anything you are not comfortable with no matter what they say!!!! Sawyer is getting so big!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on these test results. And a great day with Sawyer. Good luck with the next set.
