- I'm really an 80 year old woman in a 30 year old body! I can't make it up the stairs without losing my breath and having heart palpitations.
- Even though I feel healthy I don't have the energy I used to have to do simple tasks and to take care of my family....super High Energy Heidi has taken a vacation or something??
- I need to be grateful for the little things such as: food tastes good this week as the metallic taste is gone, I don't feel nauseous all the time, my nerves (neuropathy) isn't bothering my hands and feet anymore and I'm not plagued with hot and cold flashes! Never take your health for granted!
Those are my tidbits for this week! Here's my health update about my heart condition for those of you interested. I've been suffering from racing heart this week. It's very SCARY! It's happened multiple times and seems to be associated with over-exertion or climbing the stairs too many times and too fast. Although I had trouble one night where my heart raced all night long and it kept waking me up...HORRIBLE! So, long story short I was tested yesterday for anemia. I'm borderline anemic but not enough to cause heart palpitations. Then I had an EKG which came back normal. However my heart rate (resting) was very high. So they've ordered me a heart monitor of sorts that I'll wear for 24 hours starting Monday. Hopefully it'll track any irregularities in my heart so the cardiologist can figure out whats going on. The Adrimyacin drug I'm on for chemo is 'heart poison' so they have to monitor my heart closely.
Needless to say..I'm really feeling 80 years old...and feeling sympathy for what its like to get old and have problems that you can't control. How hard that must be! I just want to come to the bottom of this heart situation as its really freaking me out.
Well that's all for now! Love and Hugs, Heidi

Heidi,
I truly hope the doctor can figure out what is going on with your heart. You and your family as always are in our prayers.
I am so sad I missed your hat party...I even have a hat for you...but I have been sick, and so has my baby and so the last thing I wanted to do was bring that into your home. I will drop by when I am sure we are clear of our "bugs".
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family.
Love,
Stacy Rogers
