I think I have bit off more than I can chew. I have saved about 6 of those BIG black tubs that 6 ft. Arborvitae came in and decided I am going to plant a raised garden. I bought 4 BIG bags of potting soil and had the Lowes guy load them into the trunk of the car for me. Well I got home and managed to get one out of the trunk but almost collapsed afterwards so I got my neighbor to take the rest out for me.

Here is my problem. I found out my Oxygen levels average out at about 88% at night so Dr. put me on Oxygen mostly at night time. Cat-Scan shows I have a couple spots on my lungs but doctor says nothing to worry about. Get them checked again in 6 months. Breathing test shows my lung capacity is down to about 35%. While they were taking my BP I showed them where it says my heart rate is 30 BPM and that happens throughout the day. Lung Dr. then took a listen to my heart and said “No Wonder” You have an arrhythmia and referred me to a cardiologist. They can’t get me into the cardiologist until October. So I went to my regular Dr. and she did a listen and then an EKG and said she didn’t hear anything nor saw anything on the EKG. But she said that doesn’t mean that I don’t have an arrhythmia it just may be intermittent.

So here is where I bit off more than I can chew. I don’t know if I have the stamina to get the potting mix into the containers and plant the plants, but by darn I am going to try. If I keel over it will be days before anyone knows it as no one ever calls. If I don’t show up on facebook after about 4 days they might check. Oh and did I mention I am 81 years old and it is 93 degrees out there?

HAVE A GREAT FATHERS DAY ALL YOU FATHERS ON THE TT.

Thank you, LG!

It’s VERY scary!
Not remembering hitting the floor is disconcerting!
