HE'S HOME NOW...

Thanks everyone for all your prayers and good wishes.. He's home now..
Hospital stays are the worse. I hate the smell of hospitals hubby is one who
hates being tied down to bed so this was a good place for him to make him rest otherwise he
doesn't. He has a series of more testing to go thru but he has no blockage right now which is
the best thing.. They gave us medication to stablize his heart he has six medications for various
things.. A diet to follow which will do both of us good cause I will be on it with him , exercise
This was caused by stress it awful what stress can do to your body. He needs to be careful with
his heart rate should be at 100 and it was 130 when they admitted him and 150 when he had
his heart attack in 2006 They kept him for various reasons the other being his blood pressure at
145/97 so between the combo the doctor was the least bit happy.. Six hours in emergency for
him they couldn't get his rate down so they have to give him a 12 hr drip iv deal like they did when he had his heart attack the miracle of modern medicine.. I kept him home from work today to watch him. Follow up on the appts Make sure his meds are not missed.. I set up a pill box for him otherwise he'll forget to.. ugh.. The heart indeed is nothing to fool with.. He has to comply with the test and orders of Doctor and I will be here to help him implement it all. It's pretty darn scarry him in the hospital like that not knowing what's wrong how they can fix it. Modern medicine has come so far these days..
I just want to thank everyone for all the emails, phone calls, and prayers they have sent our way I appreciate it all.

I LOVE THIS GUY...

Please send lots of prayers our way... Hubby is in Hospital ... So I will not be around
anywhere much till we figure out everything...

He's another year old today

Happy Birthday Ray..

This is my youngest brother Ray today's his birthday

Mr Rick Surprise Birthday one of Skipper's best friends.. They served Tapias pretty unique food

Amanda being Silly with my mom for dinner
Me and Hubby seen this place advertise on Foodnetwork so if at all possible the place is within driving we usually check them out... I like their onion rings and hubby got a shake The other stuff we order was ok.. just a matter of taste preference with people it sure was crowded and they had misters and although lots of people were there the service was pretty quick.

Bad Blogger just to much going on.. to keep up

I am hoping soon things are settled so I can be normal again..

So hopefully by September I am hoping to have good news so
say prayers that things are good.. and turn out ok...

Grilled Potatoes on the Barbeque

Here is the ingredients you will need plus foil Suzy and I were
discussing how to make these so I thought I would give somewhat detail
Take two pieces of foil and cross them like a plus sign
Spray Olive oil on the foil usually you still have some that stick but not to many

Cut Potatoes with or without skins up to you. Pour Olive oil or you can use your favorite kind or butter
Pour Lipton onion soup mix

I missed the garlic but a table spoonful of garlic (onions shown you can use fresh or minced either is good)
I put two tablespoons of chopped onion I used my food processor or you can hand chop

Shredded Cheese I used the mixed you can use any kind you choose

Take the ingredients and mix them all up and toss you will have this look above

Take the first part of foils and meet it up then bent it down a few times

This is finished product to put on grill the one below is out of order
This should be above and fold this over

You will have this pocket put on grill I usually cook on top shelf of the grill and close the lid.

Close and wa la.. You will have the Grilled potatoes on the Grill I did not download the finish product I will do so it was real late when I thought about it and don't have camera.. I hope that you will try them they are so yummilicious Cooking time varies depending on your temperature I usually do mine for about an hour they are soft etc.. You can check depends how many potatoes and also how high it's piled lots of factors for cooking times
