Well, we have been gone for quite a while. As many of you know we spent some of our spring break(March13-17) in Oklahoma....just for some rest and relaxation. Well, Charles was ill the entire time and just wasn't feeling well. He was out of breath, unable to walk and retaining so much fluid on his body. It was unbearable for him. (He had been off of his blood pressure medication for over a year). When we returned home I went to work and he took himself to a doctor. I received a call a few hours later stating that he was being admitted to the hospital for congestive heart failure and they wanted to schedule a surgery. I was shocked!
He had the procedure days later and was eventually released. He has since returned to work but struggles from time-t0-time with the side effects of the medication; however, he is on the road to recovery. We have really attempted to incorporate organic eating, shopping, menu planning, and meal prep into our daily live. It hasn't been easy. He is on a very strict diet. We have also taken up mountain biking and are looking forward to swimming on a regular basis when the weather gets warmer.
We adopted two Great Pyrenees-mix pups....Bella and Darwin. They are such a handful but cute as ever.
PS....my blog exchange buddy sent me the best box of goodies right before Charles was hospitalized.......it was such a joy to have as I endured the hospital stay and running around like a mad woman.......
