Hi Deni....my computer crashed twice since the end of the year and I have lost everything.....for now I am up can't say I am running though. First of all I am so very sorry to read about your husband's passing. Never an easy time and he must have been so young. My prayers are with all of you. Secondly, I am so sad to read about your illness and at this time it must be quite an adjustment even though you have had heart problems for many years. All one can do is take life one day at a time ...that's what I do. I have had heart problems for ten years now, open heart surgery, new aortic valve with a triple by pass. (I choose the St. Jude valve for it does not have to be replaced as the pig valve did).... I still have two faulty valves , high blood pressure, cardiovascular heart disease and though I am already on 25 pills a day they recently added home oxygen therapy....I also have two lung diseases that will stay with me till the day I earn my angel wings..... Though we have medical issues we are so very fortunate to be able to get out of bed most every day, my greatest joy these days is playing with my grandchildren.....Ben and Molly are the youngest that live closest and they just keep me going. My aunt in Rhode Island recently turning 93 had a pace maker put in last week....imagine that, now she is up and rearring to go.....I will keep you in my prayers and I know the Lord holds you in His loving arms. Please listen to the doctors, do what they tell you and use that pen of yours as you see fit. I pulled this posting so I could jot you a line or two, please do not respond with any critique......I will try to catch up on some of the poetry I missed last month and I look forward to the day my own muise wakes me in the middle of the night to write again. Take care my friend.......again, I am sorry about all your losses and sadness. God Bless, Claire
