Good to get a note from you, sir. I've missed you and need my Jake fix. Got it....good. Let us know how you are and what the doc call is about. That's tough medicine and I know what it can be like if/when it gets out of balance. There's that word again....balance. Amazing how important that is in our lives.
I'm doing ok. Still off, but better. Breathing is ok.....in very low 90's. HR staying lower in 60's. Interesting for me. Usually HR in 79-80's. Pleased when O2 in mid 90's, so still need to get it up a bit. Just had some different results after this little procedure. Still uncomfortable, not bad, just there. Guess the balloons worked, stretched the Schatzki Rings, made the esophagus unhappy, tho! Motility is an issue to be addressed in next week or so. Me and my muscles and nerves. All over....well, just another one to ck and deal. Silly list keeps growing, but I'm stronger and will be just fine. Life is good.....

Meanwhile, it's been storming here. Love it. Heading downstairs now to ck on my feeders and visitors. I may stay a while and see who arrives....phone camera in hand. Flowers are pitiful! I have my neighbor boys hired to come Sat at noon to clean up the patio and plant a few things. I have to get some color again, some beauty. Or, I begin to feel like I'm drowning....nature, beauty, flowers, birds and animals....my salvation!
John, what a fantastic post you shared with the Mayo Clinic Tempest. Be sure everyone sees that...it's wonderful to share the world through the miraculous eyes of our Mayo medical students, md and phd, beautiful and insightful work. Thank you for sending it my way. Filled a void in this day. Thanks, John.

Folks, hope you are all doing well today. Blessings, elizabeth
