I thought I’d write a post on things you may or may not know
about me. We can always call it confessions of a LVADERS fiancé if you will, so
here goes:
·
Sometimes I have mad days when I feel like life
isn’t fair to me or Jason
·
Sometimes I really hate the 20 foot cord! It couldn’t
have been a LITTLE longer?
·
I have days that I am full of faith that Jason
will be here with me forever and days that I’m really scared about it. Now I do believe
no matter if you have health problems or not, when its your time to go, you
will.
·
If Jason ever left this world before me, my
children would be my will to keep going . If they were gone and moved out with
families of their own, then that would be really hard. I have cried to Jason
before saying I don’t want to live this life without him, but I know deep down
that’s wrong.
·
I feel guilty when I do things just for me
·
I often feel overwhelmed
Sometimes get tired of fighting for what’s right for Jason
Sometimes get tired of fighting for what’s right for Jason
·
If I am talking about Jason and what I feel for
him, I can cry on a drop of a dime no matter where we are. It is very embarrassing
for me, but I can’t help it.
·
I am over the top passionate about Jason in
every aspect.
·
I thank God every day that he sent the perfect
man to me, so I would know what unconditional love felt like.
·
Sometimes I look at him while he’s sleeping, and
he just looks like an angel. But sometimes I look at him and I feel so sad for
him, but I know I should just be happy that he is still here beside me.
·
I think God often for bring angels into our
lives, and I love that I always know who they are.
·
Sometimes
I wish that I had a normal life, but then again who really does?
·
I feel like My friends and family can’t even
begin to understand my life emotionally. I often feel like I can’t relate to
their “normal” life.
·
I am so proud of Jason for getting an LVAD.
·
I thank God for giving me strength to fight for
Jason. He also always give me the knowledge to ask the right questions.
·
I know that God is always with me…ALWAYS.
·
I have complete faith in God that he will send
Jason a perfect heart in his time
·
I am so happy when I hear of our LVAD friends
getting a heart, but its hard not to feel sad that
·
it‘s not
Jason’s time yet. I can’t wait for that day. I will be scared of the unknown,
but I’ll also be so happy I can’t even begin to express it with words.
·
I know the God has a plan laid out for Jason and
I and because of that we will always trust him.
·
I know that there is always a reason of
everything you do and every person you meet.
I talk to a few LVADers though email, but one has always
given me tremendous strength and for that I am thankful. In an email not that
long ago, I guess you could say I was feeling defeated and down and this is
what he wrote back:
…….There is a slight defeatism in
your words…excuse me while I slap you…sorry about that but defeat is not an
option. There will be no surrender . There is only better days ahead, try to
maintain a warrior approach for you both and all the gang…Also a good mind set helps,
even in the darkest hours for you both, just hold on embrace each other and stay
strong for each other
I almost cried when I read those words, they were so
powerful. …he is definitely one of the angels I was talking about… and its
times like this that I know God is with me…
I used to have an LVAD, for 15 months. It was easy to feel bitter and feel sorry for myself, yet all I had to do was look at others with more serious problems and realize how much my life was actually normal. Through diet, nutrients and hormone therapy, I was able to heal my heart and return to fully "normal" life. I have written about my success in my book, "One Percent: My Journey Overcoming Heart Disease" to try to inspire and help others. There are ALWAYS options and ALWAYS something that we can do. I was told at the beginning that the odds were 99 to 1 against me getting well, yet I still got well.
