There is no emotion. There is however, LIFE. So be grateful, thank God you are still alive and look forward to tomorrow and another cup of coffee.

It really bothered me at first and I was afraid to do anything but sit on the couch. I came to realize that I can either focus on what I can't do or focus on what I can. Life is to be lived and not watch from the couch.

Yes I do get stressed especially if I have more than five appointments weekly. But the very first thing that I do in the morning each morning is read my Bible and pray. God keeps me safe. When I was going through this heart transplant thing God knew that I did not want to do this surgery and so the day that I had to do a heart cathe the numbers came back good and they did not have to put me on the transplant list at that moment. The Doctor is sceptail that the heart will go down and she wants to be ready for that day. But I have trustedi n God all of my life and I know that he keeps me safe always. I thank him daily for what he does for me.

Keep pushing forward I refuse to give up I know I have had CHF since December 1998 about 6 months after my husband passed away @ a young man 49 yrs old , that first Christmas was terrible for me and my children 15 & 21 then here I go to hospital so sick I had no idea I had CHF at that time so much fluid build up. It was an eye opening experience being in the ER they gave me meds for chest pain then my blood pressure dropped I aroused to find my head down on the bed feet in the air trying to get my blood pressure up the nurses stating the doc on call remains in ER I spoke well that’s nice he hung around while I crashed to te unit I went guarded and care for by some great nurses that night I knew them as we all worked at same hospital. Told me that next morning I had the grand prize of the most urine output in a shift any of the season nurses had ever seen. They were great but no rest when you have to tinkle every few minutes and on strict bedrest . After that episode I researched and started loosing weight and made myself a priority to care for me as I did for my husband . Grit and terror of not being present for my children made me get in charge of myself with following doctors orders . Once it hits you could have died you try harder happy today that has been almost 25 yrs ago this Christmas.Not easy but I prefer to be alive and see my family . God bless you all .
