Sabbath Eve

Brrrr!!!!! Mother Nature is still zapping us with bitter cold temps. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 50"s. That is like 90's at this point in the winter. We in Northwest Tennessee aren't used to this extreme temperature.
It has really taken its toll on Mr. G. The extremely cold air has caused him to struggle to get his breath and his heart is beating rather hard as well. The low red blood cell counts contribute to this as well.
His aunt from Minnesota also warned him that he needed to get this problem solved quickly. Red blood cells carry oxygen. With low counts the heart has to work harder and so does the brain. She is afraid that he needs all the oxygen to the brain that he can get. As she said, "after all, he is a Gravenmier".
The good side to this cold weather is that it has made him decide to take time off from work. Now his main focus can be on getting stronger and healthier. Thank heavens!

God's blessings for an awesome week,
Cathy
