Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot.

| My labs came back and some of it wasn't normal. My electrolytes aren't normal. I looked some of them online to see what they mean. My alkaline phosphatase is abnormal. They think it's a bone disorder. I'm holding strong. I hope it's a mistake. I cling to My Jesus. I could be in heart failure too. Pray for me please. |

I just cleaned up the dog because he had poop stuck on his backside. He is used to this and didn't put up a fuss. I still had to keep him still while I washed his rear end with soap and water. He periodically has this problem. I'm careful to give him food these days. And he's a picky eater anyway.
It's good to do this and he's happy I do this for him. |

I went to see my doctor on Wednesday this week. She said I needed to have an EKG. That was standard for those in Medicare. So after that she came in and said something else then said I will the cardiologist. That got me. I left without asking what she meant, silly of me. But it was a while before I digested that something could be wrong with my EKG. So I emailed her my question. Yesterday the clinic called and left a message. I spent all afternoon trying to call them back and each time except the last I got no response. When finally I talked to the nurse, she told me the sad news. That I had a septal infarct. That's damaged tissue in the heart that happened sometime in the past during a heart attack. The heart attack was a silent one because I didn't feel anything. Now I need to wrap my head around this. I'm walking around having had a heart attack. I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. Now I need to prepare myself to see the cardiologist. I hope he has no wish to invade my body to see this septal infarct. As far as the doctor is concerned it's dead tissue. Why would anyone want to do an invasive procedure to detect a septal infarct?
I'm trying to put on a good face on this. The silence of the house surrounds me. I told my Dad about this and he was surprised. We both have had heart attacks in the past. His was decades ago. Mine was probably more recent.
I only hope the clinic finds a good cardiologist to see me. Someone who's understanding and good. |

| I have writer's block. It's a total lack of creativity. My stories are unfinished. There's nowhere for them to go. I hope someday to finish one of them, at least. For now I'm blogging and journaling. My writer's block is due to my depression and gremlins that interfere with my day. When the gremlins strike, I have to go to my room and lie in bed, alone. |

| I had a yogurt for breakfast. It's a good choice for breakfast. It's full of probiotics which aid and heal the digestive system. I recommend yogurt highly, especially if you have an ulcer. It will bring healing. |

| My Dad has been suffering muscle pain in his arm and shoulder joint pain. I asked some people on my FB page to pray for his healling. One of them volunteered Magnesium Oil to ease the pain of muscles inflamed. So I went to Amazon and bought a bottle. It came yesterday and I applied the oil in a spray on my Dad's arm and massaged it in well. He wanted more sprayed inside his arm but I couldn't reach it well. Later on he said the pain was gone except for where we couldn't reach the area of his arm. How good is that? God is great. I'm very happy for my Dad's healing. I hope it lasts. |

I'm glad to see the end of February. It was a brutally cold month and we had snow and it was difficult to figure when to do errands because of the cold and the snow. I hope March will be kinder to us. Our gas bill was high too.
I filled out an application to the Energy Assistance Program. This is a program that our local senior organization is involved in. Hopefully, it will help ease the expenses of our energy bills. |

| I had a dream that I thought I could make into a story. The problem is that the characters in my dream were people in my past that I didn't particularly like. I need to write a story where I could like the characters. And the idea of it is fading. I might noodle on it sometime. I wrote it out as a draft. |

| I'm sitting here at the kitchen table while my Dad takes his breakfast. The pups are giving up on him to give them a scrap from his plate, so they turned to me and luckily my treats from Barkbox were still available. So I went and gave them a treat each. I'm grateful to Barkbox. They come every month for a nominal fee. They have a stuffed toy which is usually more than one. It's always two or more stuffed toys and three bags of treats. It's a life saver for dog lovers. |

| I mentioned to my Dad that a recruiter sent my resume to a company for a regulatory position, part time and remote. But my Dad said I don't need to look for a job. He said that I needed to rest my mind and enjoy the retirement years. He said we'll be fine as we are living a simple life. |
