My Corner of The World

I am slowly taking over my niece's room
starting with the "security" items. Look and find this beautiful Willow Tree statue.
My dear friend, Kayleen and her daughters Heather and Whitney brought this over the night before I came to Utah.
I love it...
The statue's name is
je t'aime
When I read what it's name meant...
of course I cried...
I Love You.

The heart is so amazing. It not only is the muscular organ...
I believe they "feel"...
Even if my heart is 'broken" it still "feels" appreciation, love, and respect...and
mostly hope.

Broken Heart

Whew... where do I start?
If you follow my blog, you know that I have heart problems.

I had an appointment at the Heart Failure/Transplant office that I have been going to for the past 5 years.
Last week when I was at the doctors office...I must have had my rose colored glasses on when they told me they needed to see me again in a week for an appointment for the
"Cath" lab for the pressure of my heart to be check.
I knew my energy levels were low...but maybe I was just being lazy :o)
When they finished the "right cath. procedure they took me up to my hospital room, to start me on heparin and get ready to thin my blood to therapeutic.
When about 3 hours passed in walked my cardiologist and his "team".
He is a straight forward doctor I like that.
He said, Janiece, it is time to put you on the heart transplant list.
You are a perfect candidate and it needs to be done.

In the past two weeks they have ran all the tests that they need to to present me to the "transplant board" on Tuesday.

The support of Kirk, our children and family has been beyond words.
I have been so blessed.

I am going through emotional swings...I will be fine ... and then have a few tears.
The thought that someone will loose their loved one for me to continue to have mine is so difficult.
One of the transplant doctors made this comment "now their heart will not go to waste."
My thought was, True...
and I promise that I will not let it go to waste either.


Are we ready for another adventure?
