Bloodwork done and looking good! Next steps for Patti and dirty air?

Patti received her results from the blood work and everything looks perfect!  This means we do not have to worry so much as she heads into her next phase with the upcoming surgery on January 27th. 

Save the NEXT date!
Patti has secured another surgery date (March 13th) to scope down to the stomach and see what is causing all the drama in the tummy, as she continues to struggle with discomfort (acid - heartburn type stuff) throughout the day.  She has good and bad hours all within one day - ugh :-/

With the crazy, cold and unpredictable weather we've seen over the past 1-2 weeks, it gets even crazier!  We finally get a heat wave of 20 degrees and a "Particle Pollution?"

A notice was released a short time ago stating the following:
The notice, issued Thursday morning, indicates that fine particles suspended in the air have risen to a level where it’s unhealthy for people in sensitive groups. 
  • Sensitive groups are defined as people with heart and lung disease, older adults and children. People in affected groups are advised to reschedule strenuous activities. 
  • Fine particles come mostly from combustion sources, such as power plants, factories and other sources such as wood smoke. 
  • Particle pollution is often a winter phenomenon, while ozone, or smog, primarily occurs in warmer months.
Note to Patti:  Stay in and stay well!!!
To all:  Stay warm and hold your breath - hee hee :-)
