Last year, on this date I was in the hospital with chest pains. After all the testing was done and results were all back, it was found that I had Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Heart Disease. Yup. I am young. Pretty healthy. Have a young family. Why me? So many questions. Very little answers. But a year later, I have had some ups and downs. I had my first surgery that was not a c-section. That was a scary moment. Emotionally, while I have had some break downs, I am doing great. I am learning to make healthier choices. I am enjoying all the time that I get to spend with my husband and children. I am living life to the fullest. I had a choice to make: take my diagnosis as a death sentence, or take it as a new way to live my life. I chose the latter. Every day is a blessing that I get to be here. And even though I have a bunch of pills to take every day, I'll keep on taking them and living life. Even though I don't "look" sick, I am tired more easily and am unable to do some of the things I used to. I try to be normal but I know my limits. It is an adjustment that I am willing to make to become healthier.
So, don't take anything or anyone for granted. Live life to the fullest.
