Just got home.Whew what a long day.Well they did the cath and one of the new graphs they did in 07 is shot.It is completely gone and there is nothing they can do for it.Plus the one that was to far gone to be fixed when they did his bypass.So that is 2 gone.They said the other 2 they grafted.The 2 main ones are still uncloggged and his heart is pumping good.But stressed how very important it is to keep those 2 unclogged,If they clog there is nothing can be done and it will kill him.So first I gotta get him to stop smoking,I am going to go cold turkey and stop so it will be easier for him,Things may get a little nasty around here for awhile,But would rather deal with attitude than have to bury him.Plus I need to start cooking heart healthy meals for him.So if any of you have good recipes or advice on how and what to fix him .I am open for suggestions.He is my life and I will do anything it takes to make sure he stays with me for along time to come.

Thank you for your prayers and I love you guys.

Love and Hugs Deb

Hi Cor... Thanks for the hugs.I just looked and found some good things for heart health.It will be tough at first but once it has been done awhile,Hopefully it will all fall into place.
Hope you have a better day eating wise.

Hi Pooh,

I'm sorry to the graphs were gone and so glad the main ones are still in tact!

It is so hard to let go of the things we like... but will be praying you both are successful!

Also that you will be able to adapt to the new way of eating.... boy it's so hard but sure can be done... I keep thinking and have it on my fridge the words Peggy wrote not to long ago...

"How much can I endure if I know I cannot be defeated!" 


Why can't we be defeated?  Because we have some ONE higher than ourselves to call upon!  That just excites me!!!

Will continue to pray the Lord will be with you both!

Pooh im sorry that the news wasnt better about Gail....you said you are going to try and get him to quit smoking....is this his decision too? if not it wont matter how much you want  him to quit it wont work...i know i have tried to get Joe to quit for forever and he doesnt want to so he doesnt....he has really high cholestrol and cancer all in his side of the family, mother, dad and sister and yet he continues to smoke....
i will be praying for all you are going thru and will pray that Gail know how much is at stake if he doesnt quit smoking and start eating right...and exercise, just walking  is very good for a heart patient, there is your new walking partner...he needs to build his stamina, ...
love and hugs sweet lady ....Jan

Hi there Jan.... Thank you for the message yesterday.I tried the vanilla protein in coffee ,Was nasty.But i tried the cinnamon bun in hot tea and it wasn't to bad.I love cinnamon tea and can't find it anymore.So that was kinda sorta like it LOL.Anyway it was doable.
Thank you for your prayers,Yes he is willing to stop.He knows he has to.I already pulled the trump card of doing it for Nikki LOL.We have picked a day to stop. Sat is his birthday so we picked that day.It will be the first day of a whole new life .So thought that would be a god day.
He has agreed to be my walking partner soon as his leg is up to it.It is really hurting him today.Didn't do that last time.But then again the old fool drove home last night too.Men are such spoiled babies LOL.And he is very stubborn,But most men are.
Thanks again.
Love and Hugs Deb

Wow....what a day.  Good news, bad news and life changes to be made.  Bless your heart....we will all be praying for you and Gail.

Everybody has given you such good advice and words of encouragement.  Look how much you are loved....and you ARE loved.  When he fusses about the changes that need to be made (and he is a man...he WILL complain) remind him that Nikki needs her daddy.  If not for himself, then maybe for her. 

You are in for a tough road...but you know what...you are TOUGHER!  And you CAN endure....

Love you.
