Nearing the end of the 2nd year.
Thursday, November 5, 2009 |
Just reflecting on everything over the past 22 months without Lance. The first year life just seemed to move in slow motion. Looking back I really have a difficult time in remembering half of the things I did, I really was in a fog. My head seems to be more clear now, my heart is still empty and longing for what I can't have. If this makes any sense at all my heart is ...

gabbygal's message to Arts and Crafts members:
Hope everybody survived Halloween and didn't eat too much candy!!! I was very good and ate very little.
Now we can all gear up for Thanksgiving which is only 25 days away!! Christmas is right around the corner too so we should have our brains going full force arts and crafts wise!!

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".
