My state disability has run out and I'm living on my savings now. I applied for unemployment benefits, I expected to be well enough to look for work but conditionally. I'm not going to get enough to make much difference. Another holiday without mom, I still think about her everyday and still have trouble believing she has been gone a year and a half now - where did the t...

Bad news that hits way to close to home
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 |
Yesterday morning when I got up to get ready for work I had the local news on in the background and heard something about a deadly accident on our local mountain road here. I didn't have a chance to follow up on it. Then in the afternoon my bosses daughter was in the office and asked if I had heard about the accident, she said that a student from her high school had died in the ac...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

OK, so yesterday I went to see a new cardiologist. He was older and appeared to be much better at listening than the other cardiologist. I feel more comfortable and not so much like just another number going thru their office. He truly seemed to care, which is really all I wanted. I know the treatment is the same, the symptoms will stay pretty much the same. But how ... -

Heart Failure Information
Congestive heart failure (CHF), also called congestive cardiac failure (CCF) or just heart failure, is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. It is not to be confused with "cessation of heartbeat", which is known as asystole, or with cardiac arrest, which is the cessation of normal cardiac function in the face of heart disease. Because not all patients have volume overload at the time of initial or subsequent evaluation, the term "heart failure" is preferred over the older term "congestive heart failure". Congestive heart failure is often undiagnosed due to a lack of a universally agreed definition and difficulties in diagnosis, particularly when the condition is considered "mild".
