It was around this time last year that I had my unexpected hospital stay overnight. I can't believe that it has been that long already!!! I have spent that time reflecting and truly appreciating all that I have to be thankful for. I am thankful to the nurse at the Red Cross who caught my irregular heartbeat in October of last year, when I was getting ready to donate blood. Her finding that problem, necessitated an echocardiogram, which in turn, led me to get a heart catheterization, which showed I have the heart condition, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy!! Yikes, I really don't like to think what would have happened to me, had that not been caught. Especially, since the cardiologist told me the worse case scenario for my condition is a heart transplant :( I'm so very thankful that my four medicines I take are keeping my heart going strong! My husband told me recently that the whole experience of having me in the hospital was very "scary" to him. ...
