Canadian Thanksgiving

We had  GREAT meal :) Thank God I wasn't in hospital for it. It was Monday October 10th and we had 15 people for the dinner. Mostly friends and such. We had a big ham, a 30 lb turkey, and cranberry jelly, yam bake, green bean bake, sausages wrapped in bacon, roasted potatoes, roasted parsnips, brussels sprouts, carrots and three big apple pies with ice cream for dessert. There was plenty for seconds and I felt REAL stuffed :) I love to feel like that LOL. I was back in hospital on Wednesday & Thursday for more tests. They said my blood oxygen level was OK and the dizzy things were the inner ear thingy I had a few years ago come back, so that was great news! I didn't want it to be a heart thing, even though its still going a bit quick. They gave me deep breathing exercises to do (about the only exercise I don't mind doing <G>) which help slow it down and help the blood oxygen level.

I'm still writing up notes about our vacation trip and I'll put them on here when I've done. Also a few piccies I guess.

Back home

Hi Y'all

I'm sorry I haven't written anything but I've been in hospital. Since we got home (had an  awesome time - I made lots of notes and I've started to write them up and I'll post them when I have) I've been having dizzy spells and passed out twice. Dad & Mom took me to the ER and they admitted me for tests. One Dr says the oxygen level in my blood is low and my brain was a bit starved. He thinks my weight is stopping my lungs inflating fully. Another one thinks my heart is going too fast and that might make dizzy spells, even though my BP is OK. I've got some pills and am home again right now to see what happens, but I go back in again for more tests next week.
