Hey YA'LL

I didn't forget about cha don't you be worrying! My laptop decided to be a little bit slow so I had to take her in to Simply Mac and it is taking fooorrevverrrr! Hopefully tomorrow I will get it back, cross your fingers. Today is Monday and I did not sleep at all last night, my brain would not shut off and this morning I had another biopsy, echocardiogram and clinic visit. No more twice a week visits, thank goodness.  I am sooo sick of biopsy, the doctor really numb me up real good today, I could flick my chin afterwards :)
Here are the results: Everything is the SAME!! Boring I know, but hey I am glad I am boring actually! I hope I am going to be a plain ol' janer patient from here on out for a long time.
I have been feeling great lately. I have been going on walks, enjoying this great sunshine with sunscreen and a large hat and trying to put some LB's on me.
Steve, my dad and I went golfing today, well they did the golfing I was there for  moral support and to walk with my dad.
Can't believe I am almost 1 month out, time flies when you are having fun!!
Thanks again for your prayers and support, you guys are the reason why I get up every day!

Chalk It Up as a Miracle.........

Some of you may know, but Ashley went through another Heart Transplant yesterday. After her first first new heart started to fail, we re-listed on the her on the transplant list immediately. We knew getting another heart would be a long shot, but we wanted the option to be there if a heart came available. Sure enough 18 hours on the list a second heart came available that was a perfect match for Ashley. Ironically, it took 4.5 months and then 2 hearts in the same week. We, including the doctors, are all chalking it up as a miracle. It was decided not to wait to see if the first heart would handle the load she would need but rather to move forward with the new donor heart. Going through a transplant a second time makes you really feel for the family who lost their daughter, sister, spouse and friend. We are grateful again for the family and the individual who choose to give life. We were in quite a predicament and feel only divine intervention could hav...

Stinking INR

Another day in this lovely hospital because my stinking INR will not get were in needs to be. INR means International Normalized Ratio, its a number that describes your bloods clotting factor. Doctors want my INR to be around 2.0 but I am stuck at 1.5, a normal person should be below 1.0. So the higher the INR the thinner the blood. Because I have an LVAD they are very picky about my INR because they don't want a clot to form in my LVAD. But, if my INR gets too high I bleed, so it's a fine line we are walking until I get my new heart. On a higher note, my mom and I did some crafts.... getting ready for Christmas and my baby boy Wrigley came and visited me, some of you are thinking Wrigley is a terrible child's name but he is actually my French Bulldog :)

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
