Notes About The Poem

See the source imageI learned when I was 69 years old that I have this problem with my heart plus I have a tumor in the same wall where the hole is located. I am only treated with medication but have lived to age 73.

Andrea, Thanks for the visit to my page. I appreciate you dropping back by. Yes, the arrhythmia is very upsetting sometimes. I have had it bad for a number of days while Tommy was in the hospital and since he has come home. I am going to make me an appointment with my cardiologist as soon as I think I can leave Tommy that long. Sara

Andrea, I had the hole in my heart since birth. I was adopted so if the doctor or midwife noticed anything when I was born the information was not passed on to my adoptive parents. I have had cardiograms, doctors listen to my heart, etc. and no one ever caught the defect. However, the tumor is a new thing. I am okay but the arrhythmia is really bad sometimes for some reason or another. Thanks for stopping by. I did not enter this one in that contest for it was closed. Sara

Nette, Thanks for your kind review. I am doing fine under the conditions. Cody as of this minute seems better than he has been in awhile. However, his moods can change in a heartbeat. It is part of his illness. Thanks for asking. Sara

Ravi, Only through the grace of God have I lived and been able to do what I have done. I used to wonder why I would give out if I tried to do physical activity but I never mentioned it to anyone parents, teachers, husband or children but then I started having arrhythmia which sent me to the doctor.
