STILL KICKIN'

HEY GUYS ... SORRY I'VE BEEN OFF THE BOARDS ... JUST REALLY, REALLY JAMMED RIGHT NOW! GOT SOME NEWS ... I JUST HAD MY 1st VISIT WITH A CARDIOLOGIST & HAD A 48-HOUR HEART MONITOR TEST. NEXT COMES THE DOPPLER/ECHO ... HE DID SAY THAT I HAVE A HEART MURMUR. NEVER KNEW THAT BUT WHEN I QUESTIONED MY FOLKS, THEY SAID THEY WERE TOLD THAT WHEN I WAS YOUNG ... HMMM??? IT WOULD APPEAR THAT I'VE PROBABLY HAD THIS ELECTRICAL HEART CONDITION (PSAT) ALL MY LIFE EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY GOT REALLY BAD IN 1992. HE'S LOOKING TO SEE IF I'M A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE LASER SURGERY THAT WOULD KILL THE NERVE ENDINGS IN MY HEART THAT ARE MISFIRING. WOW, THAT WOULD BE SUCH A BLESSING! FUNNY STORY ... I JUST GOT MY CDL (COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE) RENEWED TODAY & LAST TIME WHEN I WAS AROUND 260, I PUT DOWN THAT I WEIGHED 220. THIS TIME, I WEIGH 169 & I PUT DOWN THAT I WEIGH 145, BUT I KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO BE LIGHTER THAN THAT SINCE I'M STILL LOSING WEIGHT, SO IT'S NOT REALLY LYING, IS IT?!!! MY FACE WAS ACTUALLY OVAL IN THE PHOTO INSTEAD OF PUMPKIN ROUND WITH TRIPLE CHINS! NOW, THAT'S JUST WAY TOO GOD BLESS Y'ALL ... DAWN & NICk PS: OH YEAH ... TODAY IS NICK'S & MY 7th ANNIVERSARY OF THE NIGHT WE MET ONLINE ON ICQ (I SEEK YOU)! IT'S BEEN LOVE EVER SINCE ... ON THAT NOTE, I THINK I'LL GO SNUGGLE WITH MY HONEY!

Happy Anniversary to you and Nick

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MS SHARON!!!

Happy Anniversary Dawn and Nick, I wish you many more years of happiness and good health. Dawn I have a pacemaker and I just turned 32, I've had trouble with my heart since I was 4. I remember the whole monitor thing and the ablation you're speaking about. I hope everything turns out well for you. Let me know if I can answer any questions you may have about the procedure. It's really a piece of cake (oh no, did I say cake?) I'm still so hungry but can't get anything to go down. I go to have the gastric endoscopy done tomorrow, Dr.B thinks I may have a stricture. Well, take care and hope you and your honey had a great time celebrating your love yesterday. Robin

I SURE APPRECIATE YOUR SWEET SENTIMENTS, MS ROBIN! GOOD HEALTH & HAPPINESS ... WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK FOR?!!! DEFINITELY, I WILL TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR KIND OFFER FOR HEART INFO IF I COME UP AGAINST SOMETHING! RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN A HOLDING PATTERN WHILE THE CARDIOLOGIST GATHERS THE BASIC INFO THROUGH TESTING. I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU MEANT "SUGAR FREE" CAKE! I WAS REALLY BLESSED CUZ I HAD SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER SURGERY OF HAVING NO APPETITE AT ALL. SURE HOPE THEY FIND OUT WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ANY FOOD TO GO DOWN. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

Congratulations on your anniversary! You are such a terrific couple!! You sure have been busy. Ah, if we only had weighed what we put on our driver's licenses... LOL. We've been thinking about you guys alot. We've been crazybusy too. Family in the ICU, Cecil working overtime, me with doctor appts., still not being able to drive, etc..... Anyway, it's good to hear from you. Hope to see you at the next meeting. Love, B & C

WELL, WE WERE WONDERING WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO YOU TWO ... GLAD TO HEAR THAT Y'ALL ARE STILL BREATHIN'. WELL, I GOT DOWN PAST MY LAST DRIVER'S LICENSE WEIGHT, SO I KNOW I'LL GET DOWN PAST THIS ONE ... I PUT IT AT 145 #s ON PURPOSE! HOPE THE MEDICAL ISSUES ARE BETTER ... FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY ... WHEN CAN YOU DRIVE AGAIN? I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL HAVE THAT RESTRICTION IF I GET THE HEART SURGERY BUT, I WOULD GO NUTS! HOPE TO SEE YA THURSDAY IF NICK GETS OFF WORK ON TIME. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk
