David’s birthday ended being a 3 day celebration of him!! Thursday, we went to a new local pub, Barrels and Boards. It happened they we were playing trivia that night, so we stayed. We had a couple of drinks and charcuterie boards, one with fish dip and one with different cheesecake meats. All yummy!!🍸🍹

We celebrated David’s birthday on Friday cause he was working on Saturday, Tibby’s New Orleans Kitchen. Incredible!!

I guess we were hungry cause I didn’t take any more pictures….silly. David had fried oysters and jambalaya. I had shrimp with cheese grits. It was all delicious.

On the mend…😍

It has been quite a month! I ended back in the hospital again 😥 This time, it was a little more serious. I had a 6-second pause where my heart did beat at all, and there were 16 beats of ventricle tachycardia. Phew, I was pretty scared. They talked about putting in a pacemaker, I wasn’t happy about that, and then they took me off my new medication, and things got better. I also got a referral to see a specialist who is in electrophysiology. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable! No pacemaker!! My arrhythmia is from the sinus node and can be controlled with medication.

After a month on the new medication, I’m starting to feel better and have more energy. Almost back to normal. Road trip to Tampa!

Breakfast first… yummy
Local scenery….lol

Went to a spring training game in Tampa!! Yankees vs. The Red Sox, we won!!!

Valentine’s Day was a great day! We did some errands in the morning. Next was lunch at a Cuban restaurant, then a new sewing machine!!!!

Sangria to start
Chicken Empandas
Cuban nachos with plantains
I’m so excited to get quilting again ❤️

One of the errands was that I needed to have a heart monitor put on for a month. The Tuesday before, I ended up in the hospital with a heart rate of 122 and in a trigeminy. I would have 2 regular beats and then a pre ventricle beat. They feel it was probably my thyroid medicine is off, and I’m getting too much. Well, I’ll keep you all updated 😍❤️👍
