You are an inspiration to me... I felt so alone before I found this forum. Your words of wisdom have meant a great deal to me when I've struggled.

My Mom had a reumatic heart, she had a tough time but with medications she lived to be 82. The medications are remarkable.

It was also very scary for me when I had the chemical stress test - it emulated a heart attack for me. A place I had been there many times before with my own Mom and my Grandma. It thru me for a loop until I realized that I am not my Mom nor am I my grandma who I held as she had a heart attack.

My Mom DIDN"T take the path of my grandma, nor will I. Despite the problems my Mom had - again she lived a full life.

I can sooooo relate to how scary it is... my heart goes out to you and I will continue to pray for you.

My words are meant as encouragement ,,,,, the very last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you because I do care.

Sincerely,
Lu
