Hi Friends, just wanted to do a quick "hello" and let you know I'm taking a few days or so off, to have some heart tests. My health has been fairly unpredictable for awhile with the Gluten Ataxia and the Autoimmune revelations.

Having the added heart problems means I have to be vigilant and aware of anything different that I'm feeling. Often it's hard to know what is medication related, Hiatal Hernia, joint pain, Sjogren's, or "whatever". I have a laundry list of symptoms that now seems endless and I'm really over it all.
I've been in the hospital for an angiogram of my heart and it has turned up some unexpected issues with my last heart procedure of almost 2 years ago. There are some blockages, but we're not understanding exactly what is causing them (or exactly how to fix them). Lot's of questions and now it's leading to more procedures.
One thing I haven't discussed here is that this last year since being off gluten I've lost almost 25 pounds, and my cholesterol has been ok. I haven't had much of an appetite, and I guess my body is resetting to where I'm at a "normal" weight, for me. The gluten kept me from losing weight because my body wasn't processing correctly. I was hoping that getting my inflammation down, the heart problems would be a thing of the past. At least not yet. Like I said, a lot of questions.
So, I'm going to take a bit of time away, and try to get things "fixed", or at least a better outlook. My mind isn't exactly on decor or anything else for that matter. I know anyone with health problems understands. Sometimes everything has to take a back seat so you can focus; no self imposed stress or feeling like I should be doing something, except taking it easy and being "present". I've taken time away before and come back. Just need a break right now. I'm thankful God is in control of this and not me... (or the doctors)
The baby finches on the front porch light fixture are about ready to "fly the coop". They've been a bright spot, as I check on them multiple times a day. That nest is full of "baby bird". I'm seeing 3 of them, trying to count little heads and tail feathers. so sweet. I'm expecting mom and dad to start teaching the art of wing flapping any time now.
love you all, hope to be back soon,
