September Update
Wow, summer went by really fast and I've been having lots of problems
with my fistula arm (i'm on dialysis for 3 years now), supposed to have
surgery but that's postponed cuz of infection that happened after having a fistulagram. ughh, now i'm on antiobitics and today its healing good.
Been psping on and off over the summer plus enjoying my new hometown. Moved from California to Washington State last June to be near my sisters and hubby's brothers. Really enjoying the weather up here and loving the mountains/hills view. I went back to the same dialysis clinic that I went to last year while on vacation - that place is great and i'm still going 3 days a week.
Went to Spokane County State fair last week with hubby & my sister & her bf and had a great time.
Wow I love Autumn, can't wait to see falling leaves, beautiful autumn colors. It just started raining overnite and today.

August 2013
Wow August is here, I've been super busy this summer, Hubby & I finally moved up to Washington State on June 9th from blah California. Its soo gorgeous up here and really nice to see the hills/mountains. Took a summer break from groups & psping but came back to my main group Rad Divas earlier. Sure did missed my friends and psping.
All went well with my triple heart bypass last April and finally I can lift things more than 10 lbs after July 13th had passed. Moving days was hard cuz I really couldn't lift much but did all the packing and cleaning but sure was torture cuz while sweating during the hot temps in California, my scars was burning when sweat pours down so I had to put ice pack there. Sure glad we finally settled down after a month and half. Our cats are enjoying it up here too. I have lost 14 lbs so far since the move and should be on the transplant list for a kidney but can't get transplant til 6 months after heart bypass so it should be any time after October.
Ok gonna post some latest tags I made over the summer. My next goal is to learn how to write tuts, make scrapkits and get back to scrapbooking too.
Have a good month of August.

April 2013
Hello everyone!
Sorry I'm so behind in updating my blog, been dealing with chest pains, low blood pressure and palpitations for the last few months while on dialysis plus a cold/cough for last 2 months - still coughing (gotta be allergies). Just got stress echo, ediocardiogram done and wore a heart monitor - they said everything looked fine but I also went for cardiac catherization, the cardiologist finally found 2 blockage so he opt for me to get a heart bypass. Doc said its due to having diabetes for many years. So surgery is set for April 16th so gotta go dialysis Monday April 15th at 6:30am (my normal chair time is at 2:50pm) then afterwards head to Sacramento to go for pre-op then go over relative's house and stay overnite and surgery is at 5am on April 16th. I also found out from my mom that my grandparents did have a history of heart disease. ugh why am I the first one in my family to have a heart bypass. Been thru alot and made it through strong. I'm soooo nervous, not really liking the idea they'll cut me thru the sternum and crack my ribcage to fix my heart. They will use wire to tie the ribcage back together. I hope I make it through. I'll be taking a break from psping and groups for probably a month but I hope I recuperate fast enough cuz we're moving out of California in June. May will be a busy month with a classmates reunion picnic and a Goodbye California potluck with family and friends. Got most stuff packed but only few things left we need to use. Had to pack some stuff cuz I won't be able to do any strenous work/lifting after surgery for 3 months. Not fun!
Plus April was a sad month for me cuz I lost my beloved furbaby girl Kali - she was my favorite companion for 18 years. She sure lived a long life and been with me through my ups and downs. I miss her soo much. I had her cremated (my first time having a cat cremated) and she's in a beautiful Maroon wooden box with her name Kali carved on it. She'll never be forgotten. Enjoy running free at Rainbow Bridge my dear girl. RIP Kali
Have a good month of April/May, cya when I get back.
Hugs
