First thing I want to say is Thank You so much for your positive vibes and prayers for good news at my Cardiologist appointment today.
Unfortunately, it didn't go to well.
It showed that my heart is weak, there isn't enough blood flow on the one side of my heart, plus he couldn't read the one part of my test accurately because of my LBBB. So he wants me to go for an angiogram. I had an angiogram about 7 yrs ago. He doesn't think there is any blockages as my cholesterol is good......Damn Family Genes!!!
So because I was bummed about the appointment, I figured I should cheer myself up :)
So I went to my local scrap booking store and had a little retail therapy.
Yup I am a glass is full type of girl, teehee.
I came to the conclusion today to do as much as I possibly can to help strengthen my heart and my health.
Didn't let this day take me down.
Trying to master my cricut...ok, maybe that is a bit to far....trying to learn more about my cricut, :) .
Proud that my girls are so caring, thoughtful and unselfish.
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Tracy
Sorry Tracy....you have to take care of yourself lady!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs from Brazil
I am sorry your appointment didn't go well. hugs!
ReplyDeleteAWW sorry to hear your appointment didn't go so well. I as much as you hate family genes but wish you your health and maintaining a positive attitude about it is great. Must say i love the bouquet birgilla stamp wish our stores here carried them. Take care
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. A good attitude can go a long way; as long as you know what you can do to stay at the best health...hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo on retail therapy! I look forward t seeing these new stamps in colour!
(((HUGS))) So sorry! :-( I hope everything goes well with any more tests/procedures that have to be done. I was hoping/praying so much that everything would be well with you. Still sending prayers/positive thoughts for you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE retail therapy! What's not to like? Well, except the bills. :-P
Awwwwwwww sorry Tracy, I had really hoped for better news but it could be way worse so yes, be grateful about that. You will be fine I know you will have that heart of yours pumping in no time. LOL
ReplyDeleteRetail therapy is my favorite thing. I do it more often then I would like. Have to behave myself. Cute stamps you picked.
Have to edit some pics. TTYS
Pea
Sorry Tracy, that is bum news :0( I'm hoping the genes for cardiomyopathy that have hit every one on my mom's side keep passing me up. I've been putting off testing for a little while but, I think I may go in this summer to just to be sure :0)
ReplyDeleteIf you have any questions about the cricut just let me know and I will be happy to help :0)
Great stamps, definitely a good pick me up!
Hugs and prayers always!!!!
Sending you good health vibes and positive hugs from down under. Stay strong and positive Tracy. Fingers crossed for you that things work out well.
ReplyDeleteTracy, I am sorry for the not so good news. Try to do what the Doc's say and you feel is right for you. Take care. Looks like you did fine at the store.
ReplyDeleteWell, crap. Actually, fuckeroo. Terribly offensive, but it fits! You know you can add my prayers and good thoughts to the pile. Pea is right, it could be worse. Big HUG!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your appointment. i like your retail therapy --you really got some good stuff there. can't wait to see what you do with it! ((hug))
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the bad news. I hope there are things you can do to get better. A bit of shopping always brightens the day, of course. Big Bang Theory is the best sitcom in the world! I'm a hardcore fan! :)
ReplyDeleteTake care now!
Oh bummer. Hugs to you. Sending you more good healing vibes. I hope that there are things you can do to help. I would think that retail therapy IS one....all the excitement about new stamps, get the blood pumping! I love the bouquet girl on the bottom row! So cute and the coloring possibilities.... Have fun with your new goodies and take care of yourself!!
ReplyDeleteTracy,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry sweetie that your appointment did not go well. You are definately in my prayers.
Great therapy though :)

Well, while that isn't great news, it wasn't all bad and you did get some new rubber out of the deal, so THAT is good! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. My aunt just went through something similar. She has always had a weak heart. After her surgery she already feels a lot better. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your crappy results but I think the retail therapy was great medicine. Just make sure to take care of yourself so I have your blog to read! lol BTW your almost as critical of your own work as I am and you should have entered that card. It was adorable. I was just reading Jennifer McGuire's blog and she was showing a card that almost went into the trash because she didn't like it. Hero Arts put it on the cover of their catalog. Just goes to show you that other people have a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteTracy
ReplyDeleteYou got to know you have tons of people keeping you in their hearts, minds and prayers. We love your attitude and you will come through with flying colors. Keep up the retail therapy. lol

ReplyDeleteSo sorry Tracy! I pray that everything works out well for you hon.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to leave a comment for the past three days using my iPhone and have finally figured it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear the news of your heart. I sure hope there is something that can be done.
Your cards make me happy when I see them and I loved watching your tutorial on the diaper cupcake. Awesome photo your girls made fir your Mother's Day gift. And I also read about your tarped roof on the camping property. See I've been keeping up, just couldn't get this crazy thing to work.
Take care of yourself my new friend :-)
Leslie
Tracy, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! I'm glad you got some scrappy therapy at least. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteCute cupcake card, you had a lot of layers to deal with. Delighted to hear that someone else talks to herself and the cat. My DH makes fun of me sometimes wondering who I"m talking to. It is such a great way to sort out your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you as you continue with a chronic illness. Keep doing what makes you happy, it will keep you well!
(tried to post this on another post and I don't think it took)
