Some of you have been kind enough to ask how we are, so here is a brief update.I haven't felt inspired to write much lately.....

As many of you know, I have been having TIAs ( small strokes). Thank goodness they were small ones that didn't do much damage. The Doctor ordered a brain scan , which didn't show anything. Then an MRI was ordered. It showed I had sustained some damage to some area in my brain. It wasn't too bad tho and I feel I'm very lucky in that respect. They have put me on Plavix, which breaks up the formation of blood clots.. The medication is agreeing with me and hopefully, I won't have any more. I've had a few heart problems too and my medication has been increased. I also have some more memory loss, but its suttle and many times I don't realize its happening. Sometimes I think I'm going to beat the Alzheimers , but unless a cure is found, it won't happen.
We never give up hope tho and I know they are working hard to find a way to combat this deadly illness .

My husband has continued to have problems, especially with his heart keeping in sinus rythum. The cardiologist recently put him on a new medication for the problem and so far it's helping him. He remains in Lasix ( a pill to get rid of excess water in his body) and Potassium ( a vitamin needed to keep the electrolyes in balance) He's on fliud restiction and a low salt diet. His short term memory loss seems worse than mine and I notice it. He's had stomach problems and has a hernia now. He can not have surgery for it as he's a poor surgical risk.

We both are better than we were and we count our blessings as each new day comes. Life is precious and we try to make the most of it.

Thank you for your prayers and concern . God Blees you!...Mary Grace
