Hearfelt Thanks

I am singing praises for the improvement in my health since having a heart cath that opened 2 arteries with stents plus pneumonia, which is resolving. I’ll be starting cardiac rehab soon.

To have finally found the answer is such an emotional relief! I remain chronically ill, but my energy level and stamina will improve. My dwindling hope has taken a 360° turn and filling my emotional cup to overflowing.  

Slowly I’ll be returning to my knitting and writing.

Feelin' good,

Connie 

P.S. No music playing during procedure.

Pick Your Own Music!

Heart Music

Next week I will be having a heart cath'.

Cardiac catheterization  is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat some heart conditions.

I told my cardiologist 8 years ago the music they played irritated me instead of calming and relaxing me. So I want to pick my own music.

Although I haven't decided what CD to take with me, I know what it won't be:

"An 80 year old friend has been having hip/leg pain so the Dr sent him to have an MRI.

He knew nothing about the procedure, but the man at the hospital told him that some people get claustrophobic in the tunnel and that the machine is noisy, so they play music whilst one is being processed. He was very nervous, wondering what they may find. So he closed his eyes and tried to relax...

then the music started with Frank Sinatra singing " and now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain."

My friend said, "It is funny today, but it scared me at the time." (Received per e-mail from a knitting friend.)
