Kung Fu Ninja

 IT'S HERE!!!

 My *big ass* HUGE Ninja veggie and fruit juicing, blender, AMAZE BALLS machine!

 

*Pick a button... go ahead, I dare you... just pick a button and push it.*

*looks dangerous, doesn't it?*

Today is grocery day and I am going to bring home lots of frozen fruits and some fresh veggies and smooooth me up some nutritious drinks.

Changing my way of eating people.

Heavy meats are booted out the door *except my husband loves and will still eat them* so that I can get this old granny body in a healthier condition.

  

 It really is big.

Like an SUV.

As soon as I learn to drive it I'll be sharing good things with you.

Enjoy your week-end while me and my machine kick ass and take names.

PV What?

 Way back in 2007, just prior to selling our home in Tempe, Arizona, my husband... boyfriend at the time...was already working in Virginia, and I had stayed behind waiting for our home in AZ to sell.

I woke up one morning having heart palpitations, went to my doctor who placed me on Toporol, and the palpitations subsided.  No other tests were done that I can recall, but that was years ago.  I could just be having a case of bad memory.

 I also had a similar situation a number of years ago here in Virginia, and I was placed on a halter monitor that records everything your heart is doing for 24 hours.  Again.... they found nothing at the Cardiologist.

*sigh*

Guess I just have a wonky heart.

 Last Thursday after eating lunch I felt almost faint, VERY tired, and laid down immediately, crashed and burned for a couple of hours and then awoke feeling a teensy bit better.  Exhausted, but better.

I ate dinner and after eating felt a horrible headache come on.

I NEVER get headaches, so for some reason, since it was a pretty bad headache I decided to take my blood pressure since we have a BP cuff.

It was high... and hour later I took it and it was even higher....an hour later it was high enough, and the headache still persisted, so off to the ER at the hospital we went to see what was going on with me.

By the time we arrived at the ER my BP was 193 over 113, and although the doctor said some really stupid things that caused me to question his right to the title of M.D., we stuck around.

The heart monitor showed I was having PVCs, Pre-Ventricular Contractions.

We got home after 1 AM.  Exhausted.

I saw my own doctor the next day who listened and said that I was having irregular heartbeats....

They also hooked me up to a couple of contraptions just as the hospital had done.

She sent me back to the hospital and once again I was given a heart halter monitor, which I just removed a couple of hours ago and after I return it to the hospital for the results to be read, I should know more in a few days.

Until then, and beyond.... I am changing my eating habits to be mostly vegetarian, with a few tweaks here and there.

I have also ordered a Ninja Juicer/Blender and will be doing a lot of that in the days to come.

Anyone else have PVCs?

Anyone else a vegetarian?

To heck with eating meat.

I think it's totally bad for us.

*my bigger concern was for the very high blood pressure, which the ER doctor did not seem concerned about.  BUT I AM!*
