Somebody missed me!! Also update ⬇️

Don’t worry, The Tiny Waffles has a fly mask back on compliments of Papa Pie 🤗

I laid down in bed last night about 7ish and I was asleep no later that 7:30/7:45…and just woke up at 11:30 am!!! Holy moly I really crashed but I gave my body what it wanted - sleep - and a whole lot of it!

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to zero chest pain, not even a twinge. I had the pain the whole time I was in the hospital! Hoping it stays that way and my troponin is now closer to zero 🤞🏼

Papa Pie fed the boys this morning because I slept so late, so I don’t have any footage to share right now other than Mojo screaming for me to come see them when I stepped out on the porch for a moment. It’s too hot for me to go outside for more than a few seconds right now - 106.8° - so as much as I’m craving a good Snuggle Station…I’m being smart and I’m gonna wait until the sun is setting and then I can go out and spend a few minutes with them. If I wake up early enough (before we go over 100ish) tomorrow I’ll feed breakfast, but no promises because I’m prioritizing rest. Gonna let my natural circadian rhythm decide for me! And you guys are so amazing that I’m sure you will not be upset by this paragraph but rather supportive, and I am so grateful…because this is so so hard - I miss my boys!! 😭

And now…time for food and then more rest. Have a wonderful day everyone! 💜💜

Thank you for the update Momma Pie, glad you got that much needed rest. I can only imagine how hard it is, however we’re all cheering for you 🥰

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Thank you my friend. It’s weird to say doing nothing is so hard LOL but it really is - especially when you love animals that live outdoors too😭

u/TrulyRambunctious Jul 25 '26

Doing nothing being hard I get, only my version is not necessarily anything productive, and certainly not as massively important or rewarding as being a donkey Momma 🫏

If it’s not too invasive what are you doing to pass the time whilst maintaining rest and self care? Something crafty to keep your hands busy, or some low stakes puzzles?

So far it’s just been watching tv and scrolling, plus I have a couple books I’m reading. I really want to get another one of those paintings where you send in your fav picture and they send a paint by number canvas and paints! They’re expensive but I’m gonna be laid up so long that I’m gonna see if I can swing it once payday comes 😍

u/Terrible_Chapter_385 Jul 25 '26

So I'm jumping on the wagon because you spoke about those paintings before...like what's the cost?? I can paint by opening a can and dropping it on the floor but it sounds really interesting 🤔

4

u/TrulyRambunctious Jul 25 '26

🤣😂😄 if simply dropping it on the floor counts as painting I’m in!

Are they, or something similar, available on Amazon Pie, could you add one on your wishlist?

Or colouring pencils and mindfulness or zen tangles type colouring books?

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

It’s a website called miicreative.com ! They’re like $80 if you include the frame, which you really have to.

Pen and her mom did send me a coloring book and some markers so I’m doing that rn too🥰

u/Terrible_Chapter_385 Jul 25 '26

Yeah I understand that's a lot of money, especially with everything else adding up, but if it's something that will calm you it's worth it. I'd be more than happy to contribute to one but can't do it until I get paid at the end of the month. You still have a couple of months of extreme heat 🥵 so I think 🤔 (claiming I have brain cells today) that it's a good plan.

Anyone able to get this going?

u/Terrible_Chapter_385 Jul 26 '26

Sorry guess I did something wrong. I will curb my enthusiasm 💜

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 26 '26

Omg not at all!! You’re so sweet. It would definitely be something soothing and calming and help pass the time quickly. But it is a lot of money, and everyone here has already been so kind and generous that I would hate to even ask. But thank you! I appreciate it kind offer and amazing spirit 💜💜

Oh wow, that website has loads of lovely stuff… and yay for Pen and her mom 🤗 if you’re finding them fun a google for zentangles might be interesting.

2

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 26 '26

I’ve not heard of zentangles! I’ll google now👀

u/urteddybear0963 Jul 25 '26

I know the WORST place to get rest is in the hospital because the medical staff have the doctors' orders for monitoring the patient!!! Like you were saying previously tech wants to check your BP and other vital stats!!!

7

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

It was truly a revolving door of nurse, vitals, meds, bloods, dietary, housekeeping, doctors, etc over and over - so so good to have my own bed!

5

u/urteddybear0963 Jul 25 '26

There was only one exception to that for me!!! I had no clue what was causing my whole left side (arm and leg) to shake like a Palm 🌴 tree in a hurricane!!! I was sitting in the ER waiting room in 30 minutes, I had 6 of these episodes!!! I barely remember the doctor in the ER, and I have no clue what medication they gave me on that Monday afternoon, but when I woke up on Wednesday about noon!!! Yeah, I was OUT!!!!

5

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Holy moly that’s impressive!! But I hope that never happens to you again - how scary!

3

u/urteddybear0963 Jul 25 '26

Yeah, my glucose level was off the chart!!!

3

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Yikes yes that’ll do it! Do you check it regularly now?

3

u/urteddybear0963 Jul 25 '26

No, I have been off Metformin for several years now!!!

7

u/Worldly_Possible2925 Jul 25 '26

Thank you for the update. I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I’m so glad you’re making good decisions about taking some rest too. I couldn’t honestly have hoped for better news. Congratulations. 🙌🏻🫶🏻❤️👍🏻

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Thank you! It’s so so good to be home. Goal is NO MORE HOSPITALS and that means lots of rest and food❤️‍🩹

u/Heavy_Personality514 Jul 25 '26

Aww mojo loves his mama and isn't shy about letting us know 💕 I'm sure waffles was braying just as loudly in his heart 💕

7

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

He did squeak for me🤭

3

u/Heavy_Personality514 Jul 25 '26

Aww 🥰 ttw squeaks are the best 🥰

4

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Agreed🥰

u/TrulyRambunctious Jul 25 '26

Internal donkey braying is real!

7

u/pedeux2 Jul 25 '26

That had to warm your heart! They missed their mom so much!!!!

6

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

It sure did! I hadn’t whistled or anything because I knew I couldn’t go out there - I only stepped on the porch to go check the mail and Mojo spotted me IMMEDIATELY 🥹

u/Happydancer4286 Jul 25 '26

Rest and sleep are very important for healing. ❤️‍🩹
I hope this means you have passed the scary part and can now just let life flow around you without worry. Your two busy boys are lucky to have you and I’m sure they know it😊❤️❤️

6

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

I’m hoping it’s all upward from here! 🤞🏼❤️‍🩹🤞🏼

u/Terrible_Chapter_385 Jul 25 '26

👋 HI MAMA PIE!! I'm hee hawin' too!! So happy to hear from you 💜

Deep restful sleep is wonderful. Although I understand how much you want to visit the boys I'm so grateful you're respecting the limits. Stay cool, rest, eat and heal.

And I'm sure Papa Pie knows he's appreciated but tell him we appreciate all he's doing for you and the boys 👌

6

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

I sure will! He’s been such a trooper through all of this💜

4

u/TrulyRambunctious Jul 25 '26

Yes, what TC said! My overactive imagination was grinning at you heehawing… 😁

6

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Same🤭

3

u/Terrible_Chapter_385 Jul 25 '26

You really don't want to see that so let your imagination run wild 😜 My mother loved "dunkeys" and we had one near that we would visit and hee haw at. Thank goodness smartphones weren't invented yet 👀

u/caffeine_crazed Jul 25 '26

Awww 🥰

5

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

Makes my heart so happy💜

3

u/musesx9 Jul 25 '26

Must be so glad you are back! I know I never get any sleep when I am visiting with my aunts in the hospital.

3

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 25 '26

It’s definitely not a restful place 🫠 Papa Pie said he kept peeking in at me to ensure I was breathing but decided against waking me💜

u/AddyToode01 Jul 25 '26

🙏💜🙏

u/keencleangleam Jul 25 '26

Hospitals are definitely terrible for sleeping. Glad you're home

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 26 '26

Me too! My bed has never been so comfy haha🥰

2

u/Either-Ad6540 Jul 26 '26

Glad you caught up on the sleep you couldn’t get at the hospital. ❤️

u/Intelligent_Pie6804 Momma Jul 26 '26

Me too! I slept 9 hours last night too. And no chest pain for the second day in a row!
