Didn't start off good....Dr said if he was guessing the age of Colby by looking at his heart, he'd say 40. I about fainted....then he asked a bunch of questions..... So, the good news is, with the right diet, lose 50 pounds, card and less weight lifting, no more sports supplements, no more Monster drinks, no more beer, and take meds, it can be reversed over time. He picked up bp meds on way home and we go back in 2 weeks for a stress test. If bp is down and test okay, he'll clear him for football. Dr expects 2 weeks to be much better if he follows all of the above. Colby seemed releaved. If dr had said NO MORE FOOTBALL, not sure how Colby would have reacted. My bet is not good at all. Now, he just has to grow up a little and do as he is told with all this....so glad the dr took the time to talk with him and us, we were there an hour and 45 minutes. Small office, not in a hospital and dr (although not from the states) was very nice and patient.
Now....DAMN it is hot. 111 per car temp on way to dr from work. I think with all of the above, it is time for fat old unhealthy Mom to join Colby in eatting better, set a quit smoking date and set an example for him. He and I can do this together!
Love to all, and know that we are really releaved that the diagnosis is with hope and a plan!

P.S. Megan, the next time you are running around this way, call me....would love to see Hayden. And Morgan, so proud of you!

Doctor appt
Colby has a dr a ppt today at 8:30am for blood work and another with a cardiologist at 2:30pm. He was at 155/88 when he went to 2 a days yesterday.... I spoke with our dr here in Celina and she said his highest should be at 140/80. We'll see what comes of the appointments today. Hopefully meds and a better diet.
Chelsey and 8 friends showed up last night...I was not the award winning Mom, when I said they all had to leave. Oh well...she'll live. She's keeping Colton and Dylan today, so Ashley can be with Sunny for surgery. Hope that all goes well too. I believe they are replacing her feeding tube.
Off to get dressed for another day at the office.

Our Saturday
Up and out with Chelsey and Colby, our plan was to hit CVS, Academy, Old Navy and eat lunch. Mission accomplished! The kids got a little tired of the time it took for me to get my damn boot on and off, but other than that we made it just fine. Academy was pretty busy...lots of people milling around the football stuff. Just makes me more ready for Friday Night Lights to start again.
Our stop at CVS was for a blood pressure monitor. Colby was 148/84. Later it was 140/81. Coach is going to check him in the morning and I am going to get him into a doctor as well.
Bingo last night was not eventful...as in no fall but no win either. A guy won 2 games on a row for $750.00. Then a lady across from us won 2 games as well. Sharon and I refrained from escorting them out tyler's Mom went with me. We had a great time laughing and talking. Oh, and not winning.
Sitting on the patio at this moment, listening to the birds sing. I think I heard one say that it was going to be another HOT Sunday!
Off to clean, so everything is in it's place for our showing sometime today.

The smell of pigskin...
Just got back from ordering my Senior Mom football jersey. I have to pause after I typed that. 2 a days start Monday. Got a few Celina shirts too, mostly for Chelsey. What will I be buying next year at this time? College books I suppose. (sigh). Mixed emotions at we start the gear up to their senior year. Soooooo ready to see what their next chapter is, but also can not believe that it's all going to be over in 10 months. 10 months from tomorrow, now that I think about it.
Colby went for his physical Thursday and his blood pressure was high. Back yesterday, still too high. They would not clear him, so, we will be visiting the doctor again Monday, and possibly a cardiologist. He is so down....he came home last night and said "Mom, this sucks, it's my Senior year.". I said I know son, we'll figure it out, so don't worry. Life is not without challenges at the FFF.
Chelsey is going to Billy Bob's tonight for a concert. She's NOT driving, another Mom is. She's so excited!
Danny and I made it thru one week of him working nights. I have already seen him more this morning, that I have all week. It's an adjustment, but we'll make it.
House showing tomorrow, to the wife that wants a pool and lake. Husband came Wednesday, and liked It. Again, hope she does too!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I think I will go sit in my recliner and watch the History Channel with Danny. Have missed that this week! Ohhhh, and YES, I did get to use the remote control all week. We may wrestle over it today!
Love!

He liked it!
Mr "interested in our house" came today....he liked it. He's bringing Mrs "interested in our house" back on Sunday. She's the one that wants a pool and lake....please pray she falls in love as she drives up the driveway. This could be the one!!!!
Foot is green and purple today. Still swollen...still REALLY sore. Morgan, or shall I say Nurse Morgan....is purple and green a good thing?
Time for a beer....to celebrate tomorrow being the end of this month!!!
Pam

Purple
Quick ankle update....it's purple now. And as Tyler said tonight "it's way fatter than the other one.". Yes, he lived and i still love that kid. And, when it is 104 outside, my foot is probably 150 in the boot. Ugh...
XOXO,
Pam

A boot...
Bingo last night with Susan and Sharon....as Susan and I walked to the car, I stepped in a big hole. Left foot went in it first, so I slammed my fight foot down to stop the fall. Right foot went into the hole too, down I went. Soooooo....this morning Care Now, x-rays, no broken bones but a "severe sprain" as the doc put it. So, here it is 100+ degrees and I get to wear a giant black boot for 2-3 weeks. I will say, it feels much better with the boot that without. Even slept in the boot for 4 hours today. Can't drive with it, so I take it off and put it back on when I get out of the car. Fun stuff.
Danny started working nights as of today....he went in at 8pm and gets off at 5am. I will probably see him as I leave in the mornings this week. But, at least the temps are a little better at night, the heat is tough on him.
Home alone now. Colby is at the lake. Chelsey is at the movies. Lily is visiting the neighbor, so it is very peaceful on the patio at the moment. Hot as heck, but quiet....
Hope everyone has a great week....time to finish another month end for me. Hobbling thru the week!
