That’s how long I’ve been on this journey.
I’m a heart patient now. Curtesy of my brush with Congestive
Heart Failure. We’ll never know what virus caused it. Could have been a relapse
of COVID, could have been the chest cold the choir was passing around, could
have been the common cold. I’ve been taking a cocktail of heart medications
which take a dent out of my budget.
So, no extra travel; no Fancy Restaurant meals; no splurges
on books or clothes; no new car; you get the picture. I still have a bit to go
before I’m “recovered” and get my stamina back.
I can still tat. I can still play the organ. I can still
teach. I can still volunteer. I can still walk by the Bay. I can still throw
small parties and enjoy the company of friends. I can still create.
Overall, this journey has been significant, but not arduous.
My life is good by many yardsticks. Let us celebrate life together.
Well done for getting to the end of a difficult year. Onward with all the positives.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, positives....gratefullness...the future awaits.
DeleteSo sorry to hear this, Mel 💝 It is good to focus on the can-dos and adjust accordingly. In my case my lungs refuse to send enough oxygen to my body creating huge physical barriers, but I can still enjoy tatting and related sedentary activities. Cause enough for celebration! Take care 😍
