A lot of times I tend to feel discouraged and disheartened with my current health situation, but I know deep down there's a lot of strength and courage
inside of me. To be able to endure so much pain, staring it in the face without giving up... I know I can overcome any obstacle if I stay strong and
dedicated.
For all of my life, I've been doing too much thinking, debating, stressing and worrying... The only thing that does is lead to high blood pressure and
unnecessary anxiety, and I forgot to just say "It's alright," and just relax, have fun and enjoy life.
It's somewhat ironic how I kept thinking I was weak and afraid, but in actuality ( past the depression and self doubt ), I do feel strong and determined.
Sometimes it takes a serious health scare for a person to realize what's really important.
I appreciate even the little things in my life these days. Just drinking an Ozarka bottled water right now ( for example ), I say my thanks for this great
"Natural Spring" water that I'm about to drink. The next time something bad or unfair happens to me, I'm not going to feel frustrated or
become angered by it... I'm just going to accept it and move on with a better frame of mind.
All I can do is pray and think positively from now on. Whatever else happens is going to happen regardless.
My visit to the Cardiologist went well today, but the new heart medications I started taking are making me feel very fatigued and tired. I got home at around
10 a.m. and then I fell asleep and just woke up and it's nearing 5:50 p.m. This is the most amount of sleep I've gotten in a very long time. I actually
feel very relaxed right now. The good news is I don't feel a sharp burning sensation inside of my chest anymore ( at least since Friday Night ), and I also
don't feel my heart beating fast.
My mother purchased me a brand new leather recliner yesterday afternoon with a leg rest pull-up option. It's much more comfortable than the old one I had.
So I'll probably be spending more time in the living room from now on, and not on my computer inside of my room.
I'm just very thankful right now. I have prayed for a very long time ( every single day and night ), and I think God has been far too generous to me (
answering my prayers ) and allowing me another opportunity to live and enjoy life. It just feels like I'm getting chance after chance, and I often wonder
how truly lucky I am. Original comment »
I spent all of Friday Night and most of Saturday in the hospital. I was told by the doctor I could come home this afternoon, but I spent the rest of the day
sleeping with little energy.
It's about 1 a.m. early on Sunday Morning as I type this...
As it turned out, I was experiencing an irregular heartbeat due to my enlarged heart condition. They ran some tests on me and found out that I do have
cardiomegaly, which is basically an enlarged heart.
I was also told my blood pressure was much higher than normal, and with my Type 2 Diabetes they were very concerned about my future health.
I'm going to see a Cardiologist on Monday morning at 8:40 a.m. and so I'm nervous about that visit as well.
I also have to start using my Nebulizer Machine once every six hours ( I've already used it twice today ). I hadn't been using it since early February,
but the doctor told me to start using it again to help me breathe better in the mean time.
I also can't do any physical activities for the time being, in fear that I could experience a fatal irregular heartbeat that could kill me.
I began to cry as I asked the doctor at the hospital two questions. Will I live to see my 27th birthday on August the 15th? And will I live to see the Houston
Texans first regular-season game in 2008 on September the 7th?
He sort of smiled at me and told me, "Ryan, you try not to worry about that stuff. Let us take care of you. You're going to be fine if you stop
stressing over every little thing. You need to get that stress and blood pressure down. I promise you, you're going to see many sports in your lifetime if
you take care of yourself from now on."
He then gave me a strict diet to follow, told me what to do with my eating, drinking liquids and medications, and I have to start seeing a Cardiologist now. I
have a scheduled visit set for Monday morning.
I also struggle with Acid Reflux Disease and it's difficult for me to sleep, but I was able to sleep a lot today because I had very little energy or
stamina.
I'm just very scared and a lot is going through my mind right now. Original comment »

♥ If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
.
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
.
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
.
•*..¨..*• .¸??.•*..¨..*•.
¸
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.
Send One to All Your Friends Who You Think
~~**~~~ Deserve A Hug~~**~~
