Well I had a bit more of a problem than just not feeling so good on Tuesday.
I've been in the hospital for the past two days.
Without going into detail my heart starting racing Tuesday night and
early Wednesday morning Ken took me to the ER.
Spent the day in ER hooked up to all kinds of monitors and
finally with medicine my heart was back to a normal regular beat.
They kept me over night and another day for observation.
Came home supper time last night with a couple of meds
that I will be taking from now on.
So I've joined the club of us old people taking medicine.
It could have been a lot worse and I'm so thankful
to be back home again and feeling good.
I'm so thankful for:
God being with me and getting me through this.
For all the doctors and nurses.
Ken was wonderful and I'm so thankful for him.
Prayers said for me.
Our Pastor who came not once but twice to visit and pray with us.

I felt good enough to go walking this morning and it was 45 degrees with a few low hanging clouds and then sunny.
Morning Walk steps were 10,277
Walked over to the library to drop a book and DVD down the drop and then up and down the main road and around the ball park and both of the cemeteries.
I stopped in at the doctors office here in town because I had to make an appointment for a follow up check for next week.
I walked in and they said, we were just talking about you saying we haven't seen you the last couple days and wondered where you were.

Didn't see anyone else out about down.
☀️ ☁️ 🥾 🙂
After lunch we went to the dump and stopped at the library to pick up another book and DVD.
Relaxing the rest of the afternoon and thought I'd post early today.
Thanks for stopping by and hope your Friday is a good one.

I am amazed you are walking around town after that. You are a tough cookie!
You must have gotten a bit too excited about the election.
Hi Karen. I have been a little worried about you after you said you weren't feeling well and then didn't post for a couple of days. i am so glad that everything is OK and that the doctors and hospital took good care of you. You have been in my prayers and I am glad that you posted to let us know you are all right. Take care and I will see you again soon!
Karen, I too was wondering what had happened to you. So glad you are ok. Thanks for letting us know. Take care.❤️❤️

Hello Karen,
I am glad you are better with meds. I am sure Ken is taking good care of you. You are amazing to be out there walking already.
Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
Glad you are feeling better and that you have such caring people in your life. Good spouses and pastors are a blessing. Still praying for your health.

Happy to hear you’re on the mend and getting back to normal.
I'm sorry you were in the hospital - thankful you are out and walking again. Will pray that the medicine continues to help.
So sorry you have been in hospital but it was good to read that everyone has been looking after you so well, and you are now back home.
I do hope the medication you are on continues to help you.
Do take care and rest a while when you need to.
Sending healing thoughts and very good wishes to you.
All the best Jan
...Karen, I'm sorry to hear this. I was in the hospital because of my heart Tuesday. Take care!
I bet that was scary and to be in the hospital to 2 days! Obviously it’s okay for you to continue walking or you wouldn’t be doing it. What strikes me is, you listened to your body the other day and came back home! No body likes to be on meds, but sometimes there is no other choice. Glad you’re on the mend! ❤️🩹
Oh MY! I am so sorry. I hope you did not have a heart attack? It was a heart rhythm problem? So do you have any restrictions? I'm so glad you are alright!
I have been thinking of you often and saying prayers for you...glad to see this. Hope the medicines will be all you have to take.
So sorry to hear you were in the hospital. Glad you're feeling better already. I'm surprised you didn't try and do your walk in the hospital halls when they kept you over night....lol
Karen, I have been praying for you and told Carroll that I knew something was wrong because you weren't posting. Thankful for everyone who helped you and took care of you. Most of all, thankful to the Lord for His sustaining grace that took you through it all.
It's so good to know you were well taken care of in hospital and now you're home and obviously are able to go right back to walking.
So very glad that you are doing better.
Thank God for good meds and good doctors. Hope you're on the mend.
I was wondering how you were doing. Glad Ken took you in to get checked out. It sounds like the same thing my sister's heart has been doing lately. She's on medication now that is helping, too. I love the fact that your towns people know when you aren't walking! You are a town constant! Thanking the Lord for your care.
I am sorry to hear you had to go through this. Thankful that you were able to receive the care you did in the hospital. Now it is my turn to pray for you. Take good care, dear Karen.
So many people at a certain age :> brush a lot of stuff off. I am so glad you went to the ER. God Bless you.

WoW, back to walking so soon, that's wonderful. Good to hear you're okay.
Praise God you are ok!! Sometimes, no matter how fit a person is, or thin, etc the genes take over.....thankfully i don't need meds and pray that continues but i'm so thankful you're ok and that they gave you meds to help. And yay for getting up and getting your walk in. Prayers for a full recovery going forward.
So glad you are OK! Praying you continue to get better!
Glad you are alright. Very scary with your heart racing. Will send a prayer that you remain healthy. Janice
Oh, what scary days for you. So glad you're home again. How is today going?
Karen, i have followed your blog for years now. I haven't commented much but wanted you to know that your posts and pictures brighten my day. I am so glad you're okay. You are a treasure. I do have a question, though....do you have any dietary restrictions that would prevent me from sending you cookies?!
Welcome to the Club, Karen. Of course, this is a club that no one is really eager to join. But no matter. We are the lucky ones who get a health warning and are supported by medical science.
A blog friend just alerted me to your hospitalization. I went through a very similar experience at the end of October. Diagnosed as SVT and I'm now on "old person" medicine too. Praying for you. It's a scary thing!
