 1 – 13 oz. can chunk chicken breast Drain chicken. Toast pecans on a cookie sheet in 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes. Mix ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Note: Substitute canned chicken with a grilled or Rotisserie chicken torn into bite size pieces.  I look up and wonder where the plane is going. What exciting destination are they heading for? Will they make it? Is it for fun, business … a birth, a death? It’s funny how in life we are always heading into the unknown. We never know what the future will bring. We can try to imagine how things will turn out but it usually never turns out the way we think it will. Still in quarantine mode around here except Sean is going to school. Despite running a fever I have managed to do a few things like laundry and the dishes but I’m still not cooking and I’m still spending most of the time on the couch, trying not to cough. I read when I’m not sleeping and have gone through two of Cricket McRae’s home crafting mysteries, “Something Borrowed, Something Bleu” and “Wined and Dined”. Hope another in the series comes out soon! In keeping with Project 366 that I started on the first all my images during these sick daze are from my cell phone. Sorry about that but I just don’t feel like getting out and shooting anything.  Reading the Kindle - 21/366  Bandit crawled in my lap as storms blew through Arkansas 22/366  Sean playing the XBox - 23/366  I have a severe sinus infection and it feels like my face is about to pop. I rarely move from the couch. Hopefully I’ll feel like doing something soon – my kitchen is a mess and the evil laundry fairy has been working overtime to fill up the dirty clothes hampers.  Don has had problems off and on since his heart attack in December 2010 (at age 47). He survived what doctors commonly call “the widow-maker”. His heart now only pumps around 25% capacity and probably is not beating the way it should be (out-of-sync). He has been really struggling to breathe and has been retaining a lot of extra fluid (symptoms of CHF – Congestive Heart Failure). For the last few weeks it has been extremely bad where he can not even lay down to sleep and even when he tries to sleep in the recliner he wakes up every few minutes gasping for air. I’ve been telling him for weeks to go to the emergency room but yesterday we finally got in to see Don’s cardiologist. The cardiologist seems to think that the breathing problems are due to the excess fluid he is retaining and has recommended (again) that a defibrillator be placed which not only start his heart when it needs to but can be programmed to control the heart beats so that they will be in-sync again. They put on a heart monitor that he has to wear for 48 hours and did blood work to see if his potassium is still running low. We’ll find out more next week when he talks to the doctor that will be placing the defib. unit. I hope they find the problem soon. I couldn’t handle losing my best friend and the love of my life. |
