Sad as my brother in law who has Multiple Myeloma is getting weaker every day. Feel on Wed. for the 2nd time in a month. Thank God he has a LIFELINE button. He has been lucky and we tell him one more time might not be good. He is very with it, but I think the disease is taking over his body. Judy

Its been a month and 8days since I was discharged from hospital. I don't feel anything about my experience in there, i don't feel optimistic about my future, infact, i feel quite pessimistic about it. I don't think I can see how it can get any better, yet I sometimes think that it can't get any worse, but I should never say that, things can always get worse. One day that thing to ...2 Recommendations2 Comments

Gnarly day. Got the results from the Holter monitor already. That was fast. Apparently, my heart is off and on racing as fast as 120 pulse rate, so the doctor upped my dose of beta blocker to lower it and I started that dose today. Seemed like it might have helped keep the rate down but I also felt dizzier this afternoon and evening after I took the dose around 3 pm. ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

I don't think I've really whined all that much since this all began. But the last few days I've just felt super down in the dumps. Partly because I feel like I've lost some of the support I thought I had at first. I've been trying to think of what is it about how I feel - how to describe it. One thing is I feel damaged. I feel like a broken person...1 Recommendation2 Comments

My dear friends,
Just a little update for you all before I try to get a few hours sleep.
We put my darling to rest on Wednesday and there were so many people there to support our family. There were old friends that we hadn't seen or heard from in years and there was not a dry eye in the house. He was very much loved by everyone he came in contact with and none ever forgot him...1 Recommendation8 Comments -

A year ago I was still on Coumadin and hadn't yet had the cardioversion that failed. I was also still doing acupuncture. In the end, I stopped acupuncture after 6 sessions and never returned. While I saw the benefit, that it stopped the awful chest pain from that early month, I dreaded the pain of needles in places like my inner ankles. I just could never get used to i...1 Recommendation2 Comments
