My pacemaker/defib Journey !! ❤️ my story! 2026

Friday  30 th! 2026

auntie Vickie and I are gaining valuable insights into my pacemaker and defibrillator, and I'm grateful for the expertise of Miss Emily, who's carefully watching over me. With a few concerns on her mind!!  

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️she's developed a plan to keep me on track, collaborating with my heart monitor providers to ensure seamless care. It's six years since I've had a serious episode, thanks to one key medication that's made a significant difference. Recently, I've been experiencing some minor irregularities, but as long as my energy levels are back to normal, I'm feeling optimistic. ❤️❤️ miss Emily says my pacemaker lead has a recall the lead that shocks me Defibrillator!   So I’m not really shock about that they shared that last time when I was with DR K  so at the same time it’s kind of nerve racking!! Trying to stay to stay calm while they talk to my medical team!!    I’m not  worried about it also  because I haven’t had any fast afibs since October they say I don’t even feel them !!! lol so  I had a few ideas since they can’t proceed until my lower left heart ❤️ is now 10%!!  They want my heart  ♥️ to be above 50 percent before they can do   any kind of sugary ! Only Jesus can do this  I have faith in HIM   I just have to do my part taking care of my heart my medical diets blood sugar is the hardest to tackle daily!!!s 👀 I’ve been praying 🙏 God will give me strength to crave for good foods   My sugar levals is a struggle  I got the low salt meals down pact !  Jesus has been showing me how to cook and search for meals that are Low-sodium and make them myself and now diabetic friendly foods! 

Today at jimmy’s johns they have letus wraps ! Turkey and chicken tomatoes cheese !🧀 my sugar level's stayed around 140!   I’m so proud of me but I notice other meals it’s always goes around 250 🥹🥹 so it’s my daily battle some days I fast till 2 eat with my hubby  and eat a smaller dinner too much later “ 

God must think I’m strong 💪 to handle these battles ! I told my paster today what’s been happening  I said COUNT IT ALL JOY !!! Right !!!?  Pastor ???  He smiles and says no we truly don’t want too that’s our sin nature ! When we do that and James 4:7 Paul said count it all joy ! 🤩 when we go through various trials Jesus Carrie’s us through them !!  He wants us to let him cary us 

I love jelly rolls song 🎵  Carrie My Cross “  Jesus tells us let me carry you when you are weak  ! 

How many situations dark times and empty seasons Jesus has Carrie’s you !?   please share in the comments we can all grow together!! 

Love you all thanks for staying with me in my blog journey with Jesus !” I pray for all my  for all my readers !  Leave a message if you have a prayer request!!! Let me know you are still here ♥️♥️♥️😘

Thankful Thursday!!! Sept 19 /25 💖💖🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

 

Feeling great today as all my numbers are healthy. My goal is to maintain them with God's strength, and I am confident that I can achieve this. My objective is to stay out of the hospital and enjoy life to the fullest with my bestie. We recently spent three wonderful days together. He assisted me with a client's quilt, which was a large project, and I successfully quilted it myself with his help. Rob completed numerous tasks on his honey-do list. The weather was gorgeous,  of Fall. I am grateful for this. It's Thankful Thursday! What are you thankful for today? Please share your thoughts in the comments. Recently, raccoons knocked our fence over one night, which scared me to death. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🧵🧵🧵🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🫶

They say money can’t buy. Happiness but quilt shop is close enough !!!  💖💖💖🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

How is everyone been?  Hi everyone I did my first time meal planning for the week! Im so excited I wanted to share with you how you can make your fave meals to meet your diet needs!! Have a blessed weekend!!!  Today I prepared leftover pizza topping in a 🌯 burrito and it was extremely delicious, with only 290 mg per serving. On Monday,

            I made chicken parmesan with 490 mg per whole dish, and 245 mg per serving. My cauliflower crust pizza 🍕 contained 390 mg per slice. It was very tasty. I felt accomplished this week with my meal planning. My husband also enjoyed the meals. My cardiologist informed me on Tuesday that I still have some fluid retention, but I have made significant progress. By controlling my sodium intake, I have been able to reduce the fluid retention. I have been successfully managing my sodium levels!!!  I feel better each day! 💖💖🫶🫶🫶💪❤️❤️ #mealplanning #healthyliving #eatathome! #makeityourself #LowSodiumRecipes 💛😀

Dear diary to whom it may concern 

Dear diary to whom it may concern.  

My kidney function is worse went up higher 🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏😭 if it's in 300 or more they will have me addmited. It they think it's my new Heart medication. That makes it angry. 😤 both of those lines Meens worse green means good and safe 

She thinks it's the new meds. So she says stop taking that go back for labs Friday morning she says right now no driving at all !!!   In 4 weeks I go back for Echo gram.   That will determine if it's helping or making it worse 😭😭😭😭😔   Sorry friends im venting today

My cardiologist really was stern about not driving anymore until my heart gets stronger 💪  again. I was very angry about this ice being felt good and strong 💪 so taking away my freedom is so hard im always home even though I do walks its not the same!  The only places I go is to church and to hospital appointments. Lately I've been slipping into depression and really frustrated 😫.  

I know Jesus will carry me through another chapter when door closes a new one opens right!? 

The cardiologist talked about the care team for chronic illness counseling I'm okay with that! 

Nurse Anne took me off of Entresto for the week and go doe labs tomorrow. Friday. Early 🕒!!! 

I've done everything right this week and lots of workouts with my bands!   So lately ice just been crying alot holding it all in for two years!!    Feeling with mom's grief with was last Wednesday  2 years now!    Popsi was yesterday  3 years ago!  Popsi was my father-in-law who gave me away at our wedding 💍.    11 years ago! Wow hard to believe!! Rob is wonderful working hard driving at night 350 hours each day.   Driving “   

Chronic illness I know I'm not the only one I pray for all of us that deal with this!   But. Don't give up!  God encouraged me today with this scripture I want to share with you! 

+3

Proverbs 3:26, in the New King James Version, states: "For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught". This verse encourages trust in God as the source of true security, offering confidence and protection from harm, especially during difficult or unpredictable times, by keeping people from "snares" or traps, both literal and spiritual. 

Last Tuesday.   This hit home sometimes God takes things away from us because he has a better plan!!!

I just ask for prayers with closing my driving 🚦 chapter. I am hopeful I can drive later on my heart needs to be at 50 %  like it was before I had covid.  

Taking my own advice if you have a chronic illness and your. Home a lot ask pray that God will show you what you can do!!!        I started kids praising Jesus videos kids time and im gonna start reading 📖  short Bible stories on line!!  Kids corner time!

 

 Enough about me what can I pray for you about please leave me a comment below!! Say hi to me and tell me where you're from   Fall is finally here my fave season to see Gods beauty!
