Thanks so much, Sandra!! I appreciate you reading this and am grateful for your kind comments and commiserations! I'm sorry to hear you've been challenged with that misery of trying to do too much and something "slapping you down."

I was just getting used to dealing with the leg stuff and restrictions. Didn't need to have my heart acting up again in a big way. Never thought I'd be facing this again - at least not till I was a good deal older. I hope it's temporary. I can't stand to think of the years I struggled and was so, so sick. It started in my 30s with no risk factors, and was quite severe right off the bat. Haven't missed it!!

Wishing you everything you wish for yourself in 2024 and beyond, my friend. Sending love and big hugs 💜
