nwhiker1. OMG. The flooding is Western WA is epic, certainly the worse I've ever seen it. We're hitting bad records left and right, I90 is freaking closed. And we all know that Trump will deny the disaster declaration so no federal money will be forthcoming to clean up the mess and repair the damage. Sickening.
2. I got back on Zeppy last Friday evening. I'm down 10 of the 15 lbs I gained over the three weeks I was off. Yay! I know part of it is eating (snacking) less, but part of it is not, it just feels different.
3. Worried. Dh has some cardio or pulmonary issue of some sort. When under intense exercise (boat at high rate, erg at high rate, rarely now hiking but it happened), he gets winded and has a hard time catching his breath. He recovers quickly, but it's always scary. His bp -he's on meds- is low-to-normal. He went to the clinic at work when we first started rowing and this became a 'huh, this is an issue' and they did an EKG, found nothing, and referred him to a cardiologist. It's taken 10 weeks to get an appointment (and he had to leave waaaaay early because half the roads around us are flooded), but it's this morning. I'm so worried, and I know he is too. I mean I don't truly expect it to be major, there is no pain and he does recover in short order, but it is something that happens and needs to be investigated and I'm concerned that maybe it is something scary and OMG.
Update: Cardiologist is pretty sure it's not anything serious, phew. Dh is scheduled for a stress test and a cardiac US for early January, but the working theory is that it's one component of one of his BP meds. The extra tests are just to make sure.
