Thank you so much friends for being concerned and caring for me outside of this box. I know I myself
have been truly blessed this year for many reasons and they include mainly making it another year with my terminal illness and making many new and wonderful friends who have brought me many cherished memories this year. I hope I have touched your life as much as you have touched mine. You are a very big and happy part of my existence. I do only wish the best and brightest present and future for each one of you. As you know I am sick and time is both my enemy and my friend, however I have faith and complete peace of my situation and you should as well.
I wish each one of you and yours Happy Holidays even if you are not a Christian as I am, I would still like to share this time of celebration with you and wish you the very best for the happiest new year to come.
On a slightly sadder note I have not been feeling so well lately and have been having terrible chest pains off and on. I will be going to the doctors after the holidays have ended and we will decide whether I will be going to the hospital or not.
my cardiologist did ask me to go to the hospital a few weeks ago but I asked him to do my at home regimen of bed rest, extra diuretics, to get rid of the fluid in and around my heart and lungs and extra potassium chloride which helps regulate my heart rhythms.
Normally this helps but it hasn't been very successful so we are on option 2 which is in hospitalization with lots of different meds etc..
I know a few of my dear friends whom I speak with daily have been missing me and I thank you for thinking of me always! I have been off line lately more so then usual because For now I am on bed rest with periods of being up and moving (to prevent blood clots in my mechanical aortic valve)I want you to know I will be fine, I am used to this and go through this quite often throughout the year. I am lucky and have had a longer then usual period of feeling good then I've had in quite some time so I have been blessed :)
I also want you to know I will be gone this week from Wednesday until Friday or Saturday to bury my husbands 35 year old cousin in Maryland he lost his battle for life on the 20th ( this is the one who was beat to death written in my blog such sadness this month) Please don't worry if you don't hear from me for this time. Take care my sweet friends, you are all angels in my life and I love you and give thanks for you always
Much Love Tese
