....some are very chatty and talk all night...
...while others are quietly cute.
These like to go 'au natural'...
Some hearts belong to someone right from the start.
Unfortunately....some have a hole where they're not supposed to
and are leaking all over the place.
...and that would be mine.
Yup, I have a leaky heart.
I didn't always have one
(or if I did, it was so tiny that my doctors couldn't quite hear it)
but I do now, and boy....is it ever a doozy.
So that's where I've been for the past month or so.
I've had lots and lots of pictures taken of my insides.
Tests and measurements galore!
But these doctors aren't quite done yet.
My little leaky heart needs a fix
(technically a mitral valve repair)
that is going to move me out of the kitchen for awhile.
I've got a couple weeks until it gets fixed.
But before and after, I'll be at home with my feet up,
watching every single show Bravo has to offer
and getting all caught up on my reading and photo editing!
Hopefully, I'll be spending some time here sharing lots of pictures with you all.
But, since I've never been through this before, I'm not sure how I'll be feeling.
So if I go missing for a bit again, now you'll know where I'll be!
Good thoughts, prayers and well wishes are always welcome!!!
Much love to you all!
So sorry to hear that, I hope everything goes well!
ReplyDeletePrayers coming your way for a quick recovery! I will be thinking of you :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry!! I hope everything turns out great and you have a fast recovery!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteLove heading your way!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Elizabeth, but I'm glad they found it and can correct the problem.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from experience on resting after a surgery.......once the pain is relieved, you'll find you fast get antsy from laying around and "doing nothing". I've had 8 foot surgeries......and as a young mom with lots of kids, I would fantasize about how awesome is was going to be to lay in bed and watch movies and organize my recipes and plan cookies and......and....and. But the reality is that after a day or two all you can think about is getting up and wanting to "be normal" again. Just taking a walk around the block sounded heavenly!
But do your best to enjoy it......knowing that the better you rest and take it easy, the better and faster you heal. :) Think of it as a "vacation" of sorts, haha...... You are in my prayers. ♥♥
Lizy! Lot of prayers from Poland! Get well soon!
ReplyDeletePrayers being sent your way! We will all be thinking of you and awaiting your return.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they have found the issue, and are going to be able to take care of it. Jude has a hole in his heart. He had two but now one has closed. We have to watch him closely. I pray it all goes well. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLizyB: I am devoted to your blog and have truly missed you. Knowing what a diligent blogger you are, I suspected that something might be amiss (as in your recent kitchen flood).... but as bad as that was, your health is of greater concern. Please know that I will hold you (and your doctors, too!) close in thought and prayer. Prayers for Courage and complete Healing will be yours all through the month of February....<3 month. All the very best to you, brave cookie friend! ~ Mary in NC
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post--you will be FINE! Cross my heart <3
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, wishing you a fast recovery from this surgery! You will be on my prayers! XOXO!
ReplyDeletexoxo Friend. You will be in my prayers and I'll say a good one to St. John of God who is the patron saint of heart conditions. (One of my favorite things about being Catholic--a saint for everything!) Be sure to rest up as much as you can after the surgery! Nothing like rest to heal the body.
ReplyDeleteIf you need ANYTHING...let me know. I'll be over in a flash.
Prayers for your speedy recovery!!! We'll miss you!!! --Katy
