Recovery: Challenging
On March 4th, I had surgery to fix a hole in my heart. It was not fun. DJ and I traveled to Charleston, South Carolina for the procedure. We got back home on March 5th. I am now recovering. Some days are better than others. I will wake up feeling fine and then get a dizzy spell. I had to leave work one day because it was so bad. I think that was because I had not eaten enough. I can feel great at night and wake up the next day and need to go back to sleep due to weakness. I am certainly improving. The challenge is where I desire to go full speed ahead, but my body won't let me nor do the doctors agree it is wise. I am learning to be patient and take care of myself. We only have once chance at this life. We must take care of this body we have. Make it last! On another note, I received an extension to complete my medical terminology course. I did not want to give up. I am starting back with that today and start researching about pursuing a masters degree. DJ and I both want to have the degree, but are we dedicated to put in th effort to obtain it? We can do it!
