About Me

In March 2009 I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy - Heart Failure. Within two months, it progressed to end-stage. In August 2009 I had a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted to help my heart pump blood. Then in December I was placed on the heart transplant list. On January 11, 2010 a heart became available for me and I was taken to the operating room. While on the table, the surgeons found that my own heart had began to heal. I didn't get that transplant and subsequently had my LVAD removed in September 2010. Today, I have a new appreciation for life and am learning to take each day one step at a time.

Happy Birthday My Love!


My husband has been an amazing rock of encouragement throughout our entire marriage, and especially lately. These were some of his words to me Sept 4, 2001: " I know things may be difficult for us for a while, but I'm sure things will become easier with time. I love you so much and I want to do everything in my power to keep us as close as possible." He has truly lived up to those words through the good times and bad. I could not love him more. Thanks Love! ~)
