when i was 10 years old i had open heart surgery for atrial septal defect (a whole in my heart). it was found when i was 4 but worsened as i grew older. i didnt eat, i was always sick, never had energy. so when i was 10 i was taken to houston for a check up and ended up having a heart caterazation. the day after that i was having major surgery. the sad thing is i never knew i was sick or anything wrong until then. i was put on a by-pass machine while they operated on my heart.
after surgery i gained weight, never had any heart problems ever. but i still had to take a nap everyday, and really never had alot of energy. so i have to wonder if that has anything to do with this. i have no way of finding out though. i cant help but wonder what affects it has. just wish i knew how to find out. guess i'll never know.
so i'll just keep trying to find out how to live with this. i exercised yesterday but i did something unusual. i danced! yea, i turned on some music and went to town. no one was home but it didnt last long. i was out of breath and exhausted. i lasted about 6 min. it was so funny. i was so glad no body was here, the dogs werent too happy. it might not have been so bad if i wasnt so fat! talk about "the house was rocking". so today i didnt do anything. too sore. maybe tomorrow if i can get everyone out of the house and the floor can take it. until next time, thanks again.
