Then, the ICD implant. 😔

Cardiac CATH Update:
I’m home. Good news, no sign of coronary artery disease 🥳
But… a birth defect discovery showed that my Circumflex Coronary artery is actually on the wrong side of my heart. It has a minor blockage & is compressed causing the low blood flow & VT. Next step, a CT scan to see

Sitting down to draw & paint. My smile is for YOU! Anyone who needs encouragement, support & love for whatever reason. We all need to be here for one another. ♥️🤗

My beautiful view as I paint 🤗

Hello Beautiful BlueSky 🦋 Today, is a stunning day! Because that’s how I choose to believe it to be. I will spend this day doing what I choose to do to feed my heart with goodness.
Tomorrow will come, I will not fear tomorrow. Today, I send out so much love & gratefulness to you all.

The ocean brings me peace, calm & comfort.

Hello Monday
Hello Brand New Week
Hello
Wednesday is the day! Angiogram to look for blockage(s). Could either be: a stent or….. open heart surgery depending on what is discovered. I’m ok. I’m embracing it. But honestly, underneath my positive outlook, there is a natural layer of fear.

The gift of a brand new day ♥️

Let’s pack a picnic and sit savoring the peace.

Heaven!

From last June!!
It won’t be long now before this gorgeous green graces our Hermon Pond. So grateful that this spot is just down the street from home. I love hearing the Loons every morning from my deck. Can’t wait to kayak on the pond again.

Sailing in Camden, Maine

The charm of Camden, Maine

I can not wait to get out in the Penobscot Bay again. One more month before the boats are launched back into the harbors. Camden, Maine is the most beautiful coastal harbor on the coast of Maine. Charming beyond words.

Just the simple gift of every brand new day is enough to be grateful for. ♥️🤗

No matter what!
No matter the currencies we live in.
No matter the heart issues & pending surgery I’m facing.

I will ALWAYS be grateful every single brand new day.

It’s how I keep my daily balance. My heart wouldn’t allow me to be any other way, it’s who I am. ♥️

So beautiful ♥️🤗

Love that this beautiful beach is only 2 hrs from home. May is the best time to go for locals, before all the summer traffic arrive.

What a beautiful time we had last May. I loved my quiet walks on the beach with my camera. Even with the storm clouds.

Thank you for the encouragement, kindness & love my friend. 🤗♥️ sending hugs your way, reach out & catch them and have a beautiful day.

2/is out of the question. When people come over, I have to leave Toby in the family room where he has his kennel, toys & water bowl. I plan to board him while I have surgery & recovery. That way my friends can come & go. ♥️

Thank you so much Jennie 🤗♥️ a few yrs ago, our best friends from Utah moved here to Maine. They built their house right next door to us. So they’ve been my family & my support system. I am home, waiting for the next step. My dog Toby is not good with people he doesn’t know so having someone stay

Well….. a new journey begins 😔
Results from my Nuclear Stress Test yesterday confirmed a blockage. Next step, angiogram study to see what the % is. All part of my journey on the path to the ICD implant. I nearly blacked out during the test while laying down. It was rough on my heart. 😥
#HeartHealth

Monday… Cardiac test day 😬 after this test, heart surgery will be scheduled. I’m doing ok, but I am a bit nervous.

Love this idea 😁👍🏻 to just have fun cooking and trying new things. Laugh, put on music & dance in the kitchen while we cook & eat. I would even do the dishes 😁♥️👍🏻

Yes it was. Warm & cozy and perfect for the 5 of us.

Hi, 🤗
Just popping in to say Helloooo! This “geriatric” girl is 67 today. But did you know that 25 is the new 67? 😂
Toby & I are doing well. One more cardiac test on Monday, then surgery will be scheduled. Yay for the ICD implanted I will receive for my Birthday 🥳
