I'm still around.

Hello, all.

I know that I owe two people PMs, and I apologize for not sending them. I will when I get another break.

I've been quite sick...(not related to dental issues)....had a bit of surgery on my heart on June 2nd by way of catheters, so I wasn't cut in my chest. Thank God!

I have temporay nerve damage to my legs, due to the swelling and knots that came about from the catheters, but after more than a month and a half, my legs are pretty near being normal.

My last EKG (with my cardiologist in town) showed great improvement with my heart! I'll see my surgeon on August 10th to see how the healing is progressing. He told me it takes three months for my heart to fully heal from the ablation, so....
I do feel positive about it, but I'm still praying. I can't believe how much better I feel! I was miserable before surgery and I had no idea of how sick I really was. I still have to deal with the Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome, but the surgery took care of the PVC aka Premature Ventricular Contractions.

I've also been busy helping my brother and his fiancee with some wedding plans. I designed and printed the invitations for them, and now I have to work on the programs. I'm still waiting on the slow-poke of a bride to get her butt into gear! Ugh! She thinks there's plenty of time for everything and puts things off! I hate that! Frying pan

Breathe, LM...no stress...still healing....no stress. :sadK:

Anyway, I hope you're all doing very well. I'll try to check back when I can. I appreciate all the positive thoughts and prayers that you've sent in the past, and I do think of you all.

Take care.
