Update!

I have been to the Doctor's for my test on my heart and GOOD news! I have no blockage in my arteries in my heart and no fluid in there either! Praise God!
I have lost 10 pounds in 5 or 6 days so some of the swelling has gone down. I am breathing better and the top of my lungs are better! There were crackles in the bottom of my lungs but I am sure they will get better!
The kidney specialist put me on a 2 Gram Sodium diet which is 2000 mg a day and does that go fast!!! Every thing on earth as salt in it!! But I am following it!!
I really want to Thank you for your prayers! You all have been a wonderful Blessing to me!!

We were able to get a little live 3 foot tree up and decorated. When I am able I will post pictures of some of our Christmas decorations.
We had snow today!
I had a wonderful hone call from my friend
Mary on Monday! This was a wonderful gift of her time! I appreciated it so much!!! We were able to get to know each and it was like we had been friends for years!!
Yesterday Glo called me and this was great so I could find out how she was doing. She has had some serious health problems too. She is doing better.Praise God!

I try to limit salt because my husband has had heart bypass surgery. Any processed tomatoes or tomato products (ketchup, etc) are LOADED with salt! Thank the good Lord Walmart now carries their own brand of no-salt canned tomatoes and tomato sauce, and at the same price as the ones with salt.
