Life update: Soooooo….
I had a stroke on Sunday August 20th that was caused by a tumor in my heart. Originally they thought I had a heart attack but I did not, just a couple of strokes. My speech was affected as I could only say and text, Yes, No, and F**k, at first. I have improved so much but get stuck describing things that I haven’t said so far. I was airlifted by helicopter to UNM Hospital in Albuquerque.
I will have open heart surgery in 3 weeks as they want my strokes to heal. They will have to crack my chest.
Sunday August 27th I ended back up in the ER as I had another couple of strokes.
I spent the first couple of nights in the ICU.
The cardiothoracic team ordered a coronary angiogram and was told by the surgeon I have the arteries of a teenager so that’s good news.
I was in the hospital until Friday Sept 1st.
I have to be on blood thinners until the surgery as to minimize any more strokes before they can perform surgery. The neurology team of drs wants me to stay close to the hospital. Minutes matter when you have a stroke.
They scheduled the open heart surgery to excise the tumor on September 18th.
I have named my tumor Trixie.

The desert wears... a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed.

All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
