The 2nd week of April 2013 was a total nightmare for me. This was because I got the terrible news that my twin sister had to have an emergency open heart surgery for an aorta tear of 7 cm, plus the amputation of her right leg. A total and devastating shock! Double shock to be exact! My initial thought: what caused it, why, how, when? What is your message to her, to me, to us, her siblings?
My quick and second thought was to make an appointment with my own family doctor for his opinion and to share what happened to Rita. During my visit, my doctor drew my blood to check for certain symptoms, and then ecg.
Following day, my doctor called to give me the result. Thank God...no unwanted news. Still I opted upon the doctor's advice to see a cardiologist for a better check up and consultation. This will happen this Thursday, May 16 - a day before our birthday!
I know I need to exercise. We have a threadmill at home, but I don't use it. So, Rick and I started to walk half a mile since the other Sunday. Hope to increase the length of 1 mile (I hope to keep this plan).
It's another birthday, dear God...thank you very much. I pray for more birthdays in good health..You are a giving God...and I trust my request will be granted. With extreme gratefulness...I know you will!
