i did not do well in treatment on Monday. I called all my dr’s today after canceling my treatment on Tuesday.
My Dr said it could have been my heart. So I went to treatment today. Again not good. By the timeI got to the door I stumbled and then could only take baby steps. I felt like I had lead boots on.I called the Dr. He canceled my treatment. I will call the cartilogist tomorrow and see if he has gone over my records from my last Dr and tell him what happened. I already told him I can’t lay down. I get to much pressure in my chest. It’s difficult even with an adjustable bed.

Maybe you should go to the ER, chest pressure may signal heart attack!

Chest pressure isn't something to fool with, Chicka. I agree. Take thee to the ER.

Hugs and prayers sent.

The rescued duckling is growing fast. Along with his food, water, and stuffed animal, I put a smaller square pyrex baking dish. I filled it about 3/4 of the way with water. When it was smaller, it worked fine. Now that the duckling is bigger, within 10 minutes, of cleaning out the brooder, and replacing the dish, it splashes water everywhere, making a total mess, and soaking everything.

Night before last, I put tepid water in the kitchen sink. It was deep enough, if it pulled it's legs up, it could swim, but shallow enough it could still touch bottom. The duckling had a ball. In about 5 minutes, the water had cooled, and the ducking seemed a bit tired. I dried it off, put it in it's brooder. He preened, and warmed up under the heat lamp.

Last night, I partially filled our bathtub with lukewarm water. The duckling had a blast. He was more waterproof than the night before (maybe all that preening?). Our bathtub is gently angled, so one end is more shallow than the other end. That makes it so the duckling can swim to the shallow end, and stand up if it gets tired, but go to the deeper end to swim, and dive. It went about 10 minutes, then seemed ready to get out.

It's a good thing I have a huge bathroom. The entire family, except Dh who was at work, had to watch the duckling's first swim. Everyone cheered it on. We took turns petting it, while it was swimming, and having it follow our hands around the bathtub. Of course the grandbaby wanted to get in, and take a bath with it. To heck with a rubber ducky, right?

I dried it off, and put it back in it's brooder. Again, it warmed itself up under the lamp while preening, then went to snuggle with it's stuffed animal.

I took the pyrex dish out of the brooder. Now, it's still getting exercise, play, and cleaning itself, but there's not nearly the mess in the brooder.

From the time we moved in here, I've always kept a couple led night lights in the garage. When he'd move them to use the socket, I'd fuss about him not putting them back. One day, he mentioned it being stupid to have night lights in the garage. I told him that because we live in the country, and in Florida, everytime I open the back door to go into the garage, (washer & dryer out there) I look down on the steps, to make sure there isn't a snake. You have to go down a step to flip the garage light on. The look of surprise on his face was a Kodak moment. He mentioned it to Dd #1. She confirmed that she too, always looked first, before taking that first step, when exiting the house. He put a brighter light there. It actually paid off for him

Day before yesterday, I helped Dh replace the weatherproofing gasket strip (you know what I mean) on the bottom of the garage door. NOT an easy job, and not a one person job. We finally got it done, but it took awhile.

What prompted the new strip, was that Dh headed out the the garage a few nights ago, and there, at the bottom of the steps, was a young black snake. They startled each other, and the snake slid out through a small gap in the old strip. (He fully understands about the small light out there now) Awhile later, when he went back out, the snake had returned. Again, it exited through the gap. He came in straightaway, and ordered the new strip, and began putting it on when it arrived.
