Dear Cherry friends, I’m sorry I haven’t posted an update in over a month. I just haven’t been up to it physically and emotionally.  I had my cat scan at the end of June. The blood clot has not resolved.  We are waiting until January to retest. I couldn’t  imagine living this way for so long, and I became very depressed and hopeless. If the clot doesn’t dissolve by then, what is the next step?  Well, emotionally I have grappled with that and accept whatever must be done to get me back to my old self. I am feeling hopeful and happy again, thanks to prayer and my wonderful husband, who helps keep my spirits up. And I’m thankful that I have your prayerful support.  Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me.  

I am still very tired and unable to do all that I would like to do. I am suffering from Afib, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, and colitis. I have lost a lot of weight. The one thing I do best is sleep, sleep, sleep.  My breathing has improved due to doubling of one of my meds. That’s a positive, no longer gasping for breath.  

I am asking for prayers for a clear cat scan so that my heart can be shocked out of Afib. That would certainly improve my general condition. 

Unfortunately, I will be unable to continue with the masculine card challenge for now.  I hope to get back to it when I am feeling better.

Oh Mary! I pray for you every day and have been wondering how you’re doing. I understand what it’s like to be so sick you can barely do anything. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing to do right now. Let your body tell you what it can and can’t handle. I pray that your clot will be dissolved and that your scan and other tests will be clear. Thanks for making the effort to update us! Sending lots and lots of Cherry {{{HUGS}}}!!!

Praying for clean scans. I am so sorry you are going through this. 

[SandyK1967]

I pray your testing is improved and you feel better as soon as possible.  A-fib is no joke it drains you, and you have multiple things going on.  Take the time you need and sleep to heal your body.  Thinking of you!
