Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[DancingHeretik]

Oh my gosh Dancing ... sure sounds like her problems won't go away fast or easily ... but I'm hoping for the best outcome and it starts moving in a positive direction.

Ugh! That's quite a load to be carrying. I sincerely hope things come together quickly and work out for you all.

That is rough going for both your daughter and you looking on trying to help her. Hoping things turn around for the better and as always.......keep the faith!!

Thanks for the positive thoughts. Funny how I run straight here whenever I get a shock.

I should use my daughter as a model. She deals with it so well and keeps such a positive attitude.

I'm so happy, I can spit, cause this morning at the cardiologist office, the doctor gave my man the go ahead to shed the LifeVest and resume all activities. Of course, he needs to pace himself......His EF rate increased to the point where the doctor wore a big grin on his face. His next appointment is in 3 months, at which time the EF should increase even more.

Prayers work!!!!! This man of mine weighed 149 lbs. 3 months ago, and was so weak, couldn't even hold our granddaughter Maria. Now, he is back to his normal weight of ±168 and has that devilish spark back in his eyes.

Praise God!!!

Yes!!!!!! I'm so happy for you both!

@DancingHeretik , I hope things look up for your daughter very soon. That is quite a load to carry. Sounds like her attitude will pull her through. Wishing her the best.

@Flowersoul , Whoo Hoo!! Good news! Keep it up!

 

[Bea-FL]

@Flowersoul such wonderful hews. What a relief!
@DancingHeretik (((((hugs to you and your daughter))))).

BTW Flowersoul's news reminds me that I haven't told you my news. A while back I think I told you that when hubs went for his colonoscopy they did a routine EKG that turned out not so routine. We found out he has a left branch bundle block. Of course I looked it up and usually it is the result of a heart condition. Me, being the world's biggest worry wart I had a hard time not to panick.

Anyway, hubs had all kinds of tests prescribed by the cardiologist and it seems everything is fine. He just has a left branch bundle block. It may never amount to anything.

In 1985 I became uncle to a set of twins... a niece and a nephew.

Today, that niece had twins... a boy and a girl, Aidan and Lida. Papa Zel looks a bit worn out but I'm pretty sure that mama Julie is more so.

... and has that devilish spark back in his eyes.

Praise God!!!

Now dat says it all!

WOW, definitely a 'roller coaster' porch news day...

BTW, when was da last time ya heard someone say, "I intentionally didn't pray and it worked."

My heat rankings. I have all of these and use all of them except #1.

1. Trinidad Scorpion powder. I've had a 1 oz jar for 2 years and haven't opened it... I'm too scared.
2. Chipotle powder. I tried it for the first time today. It's hotter than I thought it would be.
3. Chile de Arbol powder. Still quite hot.
4. New Mexico chili powder. Ditto.
5. Hot Hungarian paprika. Medium hot.
6. Red pepper flakes.
7. Frank's Red Hot sauce (cayenne).
8. Trappey's Red Devil hot sauce (cayenne).
9. Smoked Spanish paprika powder.
10. Four (or five) peppercorn melange.
11. Sweet Spanish paprika powder.
12. Good old black peppercorns.
13. Grains of paradise.
14. Ketchup. I include it since it does have enough tang that it qualifies to be on the tail end of the heat rankings.

Then I have mustard powder and horseradish powder. I can definitely make stuff hotter than I can stand with the horseradish. I haven't yet tried to make a strong mustard with the mustard powder.

Is anybody watching the Winter Olympics? They just had the first Gold of this years Olympics won...

I am not going to make the same mistake I made with the game score and say who won it...

 

[2legsshrt]

She semi-recovered, but has been limping along ever since. Slowly getting further and further behind. If only she could have just caught all the way up last year!

Man I can really relate to that, seems like 2 steps forward 1 back then changes to 1 step forward and 2 steps back. We have been able to come out of my ilnesses pretty well but thats it can't really get ahead.
