Your home is beautiful and I've been drawn to your blog many times before because of the wonderful things you post. Your story about your heart surgeries and your journey through it touched my heart....I have had my heart stopped by doctors to stop it from racing and then an Ablation procedure to hopefully stop it from racing again....I feel so blessed that it worked and I have not had any racing since. This is minor compared to what you are going through...just wanted to you to know that I can relate to your story and that my thoughts and prayers are with you. My husband also had a heart attack and had a stent put in. By sharing your story I am now aware about scar tissue even though it's a small possibility...still good to know...thank you. I'm so happy that your procedure went well and I will pray for more good things to follow. God bless.

We have struggled with his health issues too and I've found that we have to be our own health advocates. That is the sad reality of our time. It took two years and six doctors to get to the root of his asthmatic cough. It took 6 years and finally a new doctor to save his life with his diabetes. Praying for you, Dear Debra. I hope you feel so much better soon.

Anything involving the heart is so, so scary to me, yet you barely wrote about that, nor having the one artery still blocked. I am saying prayers at this minute for you.<br /><br />We don't need pretty pictures (although I do love seeing them!). Please rest and be well. Get answers, I know you never settle for the pat answers. Try to keep us posted but not to the extent that its a burden.<br /><br />Sending love,<br /><br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-85911280830866156542018-06-16T14:04:35.379-05:002018-06-16T14:04:35.379-05:00Hi Debra,

The health community and the ways medical issues are looked at are very frustrating. Glad you do not give up and continue to push for answers. You are the best advocate for yourself. We all know our bodies and when something is not right or working the medical community needs to listen. Being a nurse for many years I always felt patients were not listened to enough. Patients know their own bodies and know when things are not right. I agree doctors need to lesson their thoughts on fixing the problem and more on listening to the patients and looking into the symptoms before fixing something. Just happy you are doing better.<br />Happy Father's Day to your sweet hubby.<br />Have a good weekend.<br />xoxo<br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-30512480003558942332018-06-16T13:38:43.319-05:002018-06-16T13:38:43.319-05:00Hi Debra, so thankful that your procedure went wel...Hi Debra, so thankful that your procedure went well and you are regaining your strength. Psalms 91 is one of my favorite passages as well. in 1994 when I had surgery to repair a ruptured aneurysm in my brain, it was the very same passage that spoke to my heart and encouraged me to trust that God was in control and is with me. So glad that the passage was also a comfort to you, I understand. I will continue to pray for your complete recovery and restoration. May the Lord continue to bless you!Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175220398984549505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-82260514214358235642018-06-16T08:00:40.066-05:002018-06-16T08:00:40.066-05:00Debra I hope you continue to feel better and bette...Debra I hope you continue to feel better and better, stronger and stronger!

It takes awhile to recover. The longer your wait for having had to get problems taken care of the longer it takes to get any strength back. wears us down mentally and physically. <br /><br />Sure wish for you not to have to deal with all of this and that there will be a resolution sooner rather than later. Keep praying and hoping Debra. From somebody who has had to live with auto-immune disease all my life, keep fighting.

So thankful you have the procedure behind you, and to know the largest of the blockages is taken care of now. <br />Thank you for continuing to share your information. Alopecia (hair loss) was the main symptom that led my Dr. to my hypothyroid dx. As I've mentioned before, there is quite a bit of AI in my family, and a brother has just been dx'd with a kidney AI that is serious. <br />I will continue to pray for you. The fact that you are thinking of a few small projects speaks volumes to your disposition, and for that I'm so happy for you. Have a good weekend.
