I just started doing this today. My notebook is getting full. Been on my medical portals to my specialists updating my personal and family medical history. I have learned a lot this week since we have talked and answered the specialist questions. Got me scared and worried when I heard of all this stuff. I remember some, and some I don't. The family sure does. We are all fighting the same battles at the same age. Weird!!. Explains why all these chronic illnesses happening then and now. A lot to take in. Heart is beating, fast, alittle irregular, but okay. I did have a good day. I will use your advice, Mary Ann. Thank you. Oh, new Cardiologist knows, and he is ready to meet me and get everything going. I'm happy.

Chad I am so sorry to hear about this recent complication to your diagnosis but It sounds like you got to Kentucky Just in time! Please Please make good use of the Psychiatric help available to You! It has helped me enormously through the last 30 years of my life! The Dr. I have been seeing for 30 years is retiring and that in itself is Traumatic. But You will get through this just as I will!

At last, some of the pieces are falling into place. Questions answered, some are pretty scary, but at least you know now what youโ€™re fighting. It helps to know the truth even if we donโ€™t like it. More and more you will get more answers and have all the pieces in place. Then itโ€™s what you do with it all, how you choose to live your life. I hope you choose now to be and do the best you can every day and make it all count. Enjoy your horses and the beautiful outdoors, fresh air and the lovely smells all around. Wishing you all the best Chad and hoping they can help you still. God bless.
