I will be singing the National Anthem Next Sunday. 1 Week after getting my new pacemaker. :) I'm so glad all the details worked out. I missed this last year because I was in the hospital. This year I get to do the Anthem. Come out and support me and the cause. Just being ... there is all the support we need!!

I don't have time to do the walk due to a Wonderful Family Function of seeing my Aussie Cousin and meeting his wife for the first time.

We are excited that you are available to sing the National Anthem for us on Sunday, May 6, 2012 at Lake Welch Beach in Harriman State Park. The address for the Lake is 800 Kanawauke Road in Stony Point, NY. The opening ceremonies will take place from approximately 9:30AM-10:30AM, during which time we will ask you to perform. I will send along exact timing and a copy of the program within the next week or so, but please plan to arrive at the event by 9:00AM.

I truly hope you can come!! xoxo ♥ ♥

New Friends and Bonds

There are these thoughts and innate feelings. I have as a person with a CHD (congenital heart defect). I am learning that a lot of other CHD'ers as we are called or now Adult CHD'ers feel the same way. I have primarily heard this from woman. Nevertheless, the men too often wonder when the other shoe will drop. I for one go about my life as fully as I can. However, when the lights go out, that is when the worry starts to happen, and I can almost predict, how and when the other shoe will drop. I have predicted it accurately a few times, which is what makes this last bout so difficult. I knew something was wrong with my heart and my body, but did not know what.

It is the fact that all CHD patients have this ability to know when the good is good. When the bad will get worse, and when the good is temporary. Part of that comes from our physicians, but a la...

How Sick I Was For Almost a Year

This year was a hard one for my family. This year was not as hard as last year was, however, hard and emotional in different ways. I feel as if this year, I am the one who fought for my life. No one died. I did not have to eulogize anyone, Thank G-d! However, as stated in the title, I have been sick for almost a full year. It started in February, with a weight loss, but I eat healthy so I thought nothing of it. A month later in March, my belly started to fill up like never before. I began to look pregnant. I had migraines daily, and my belly got so big that my belly button inverted. I am not able or advised to have a baby so this was extra hard! Because I'm strong, and perform, I made up a clever story about my 'pseudo baby' as it was easier than telling people I was in heart failure and the doctors were fighting over whether it was my liver or my heart. This went on for 6 months. I had multiple belly taps, and the fluid, called ascites, would come back literally within...

To Live Through September With a CHD

As a child, I always called September “hell month”. I called it this because I like other CHDer’s grew up with learning disabilities. What does this have to do with September and the name I chose? Well it is when school began again and it was scary to have to deal with a new teacher/s and explain that you have a learning problem, and give them notes fr...
