Move closer to the family. <br /><br />I agree with the comments about bringing someone with you. Sometimes it helps to have someone else there to listen because you may forget something that is said.

They did have to rest more, take medication and change their lifestyle. I know it is liveable but you can't be doing all that you do. So interesting as when I went to the doctor with congestion but no cold. I had wheezing as well. Anxiety and something else that I can't remember. Maybe that was it my memory, hah. Well the doctor sent me for a chest x-ray, my mammogram and an EKG. I was wondering why the EKG. Now I get the connection for what she was trying to rule out. You know the anxiety and the tiredness you have experienced, this might be the reason. <br />You seriously need to put yourself first. I know you love it where you are but all that work is too much on you.<br />Interesting about the chemo as well. So many that have had chemo many years ago are having problems because of it.<br />Please come back to us and let us know the plan.<br />I agree about taking someone with you. It helps to have them there so they can hear the information in case you focused on something else and missed it.<br />You will be there for that wedding and in your glory, but dear, no dancing on the tables just yet.<br />HUGS and Prayers.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-68693203003266103312015-03-30T15:35:28.744-05:002015-03-30T15:35:28.744-05:00I'll be praying for you, my friend!I'll be praying for you, my friend!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-6802873512436294302015-03-30T15:13:54.743-05:002015-03-30T15:13:54.743-05:00You're right, Maggie, sometimes life just turn... You're right, Maggie, sometimes life just turns on a dime. Try not to be afraid, I know lots of people who have lived for more than a dozen years since they were diagnosed with congestive heart failure – it's a terrible sounding diagnosis, but they are still alive and hopefully you will have a very long and happy life ahead. Moving closer to one of the kids is not a bad idea and I'm sure they will help you figure it all out. Stress is not your friend so keep up your spirits and dwell on all the love that's surrounding you! gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190495681369643112.post-63071159575075508962015-03-30T15:05:05.250-05:002015-03-30T15:05:05.250-05:00Oh Maggie, I am so sorry this has entered your lif...Oh Maggie, I am so sorry this has entered your life and brought you such anguish. <br />I feel we are all one breath away from a life changing condition. I am so pleased that you went to the ER right away. Denial and delay is what hurts most people. Getting an early jump on this is to your advantage. Like the others have said, write down all your questions and take someone with you when you go to the specialist. There are so many things you can do to help yourself in this and you are tough enough to do them. I had a friend this happened to and by losing weight, doing prescribed exercises and with thoughtful monitoring, he is still going strong and you would never know to look at him that there is anything wrong. They have come a long way treating this condition. Just do as they tell you and try to remain positive. My love, hugs and prayers are coming your way. Be well and strong soon my friend.

We don't think about these, when my dad had his they thought he had the flu. When you go to the doctor, take one of the kids that will ask questions as well if possible. Don't go by yourself because even with questions wrote down there is always something that we forget to ask or don't understand where they could help with that. I usually take my daughter with me. Don't rush things and being closer to kids help in times of emergencies. That is for sure.

My dad's side of the family has major heart disease with all of his brothers and sisters except one having had bypass surgery. He had surgery at the age of 45. I'm 49 now and keep hoping that all my dietary changes over the past 10 years will mean that I've done enough to rid myself of the possibility of also having heart problems. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong and positive.
