Granny's gone and done it again

It did it 5 times while I waited around to be seen. But not when they did the EKG or while I was monitored.
with your lites being ok and it wasnt a panic attack that just leaves the heart. I think you should call your reg. dr. and ask to be seen by a heart dr. That thing you have on aint all that.

I am supposed to see my regular doctor in a couple days. So I will get a referral.
 
What fear?
I am afraid of falling again, like I did 12/6/10. Ended up with a multiple concussion, that completely changed my life. It had rained before it started to snow. At work, I slipped on ice, and went flying. My head hit the ground at least 3 times before the rest of my body landed.
 
Hey, guys, I have a chicken-keeping question. So I rigged a light out in my coop (hen house). Should I increase their lught exposure gradually, like an hour more a day, or can I just start right right away today leaving it on as many hours as I think they need? It gets dark here now about 4:50 pm, and I plan to leave the light on ultimately till about 8:00 pm. DH opens them up in the morning about 6:00 am, just about daylight. Thanks.

I hear ya, Verna. Two years ago I went out to take care of the chickens during an ice storm, which our area of MO has throughout the winter it seems. I stepped down on what looked like a patch of wet ground. It wasn't. It was black ice. My foot shot out from under me and I reflexively grabbed one of the wood fence posts the gate was mounted on. All I could think of was 'don't break your hip!' so instead my momentum slammed me into the wood post. I think I grayed out because the next thing I knew I was still hanging on to the post and dangling about a foot in the air. I let go of the post, plopped down onto the ground and my leg came in contact with my hot wire.

Talk about adding insult to injury, that was it. I hobbled my way to the house, told DH what happened and he immediately grabbed a pair of my boots and made ice cleats for me by screwing quarter inch sheet metal screws into the treads.

I broke at least one rib and was glad I had on a heavy winter coat along with a hoodie underneath. It could have been a lot worse.

I developed a whole new respect for ice and wear my boots whenever there is even a thin glaze on the ground.
