Not New Here, but a New Beginning

Feel free to add me 33, married but no kids and my husband can't cook lol. Totally need to get my nutrition in check. Also like to run and lift...lifting is my favorite.

Hello, been a long time since I have been on this site. I have really missed everyone here in the community. Initially after my bypass surgery I was doing well, but things quickly turned toward the worse. I had to get a pacemaker because I lost weight too quickly and that ruined the electrical function of my heart. In addition to the pacemaker for bradycardia I also have tachycardia (rapid heart). Then I developed a condition known as dysautonomia. That means that my central nervous system does not function like it should. Everything that our body does automatically like heart rate, blood pressure, body temp control, sugar regulation, digestion, ect. So I have been one sick girly. It is difficult to get through the day most days. Along with all this I have several other chronic health issues. BUT, I'm still here amount the living and I keep fighting my battle because life is so precious and no matter what I am going to make the best of each day WITH and By Gods good grace and mercy. In the last year I have had 5 deaths in the family. One was my daughters father and then she lost her father who was killed in the line of duty. In October my son had a motorcycle accident that left him FOR NOW paralyzed from his chest down. He is 25 years old. He spent a little over a week in ICU and then a month in rehabilitation center at UAB in Birmingham, Al. He is a veteran so his unit has been great and helpful to us in so many ways. Now he has physical therapy twice a week and numerous doctors appointments throughout the week. I stay with him most of the week, if not all week and then his fiancé helps. She and I take care of him and there 3 yr old son who is a whooping 40 pounds. He isn't overweight as in fat, but overweight and height for his age. So I'm getting lots of muscles from all this. I consider that a silver pinning to the situation. I can almost do my push ups on my tip toes, but not quite so I'm doing them on my knees still. Anyway, that is what has been going on with me. I sure look forward to hearing from you all. I see several friends from here have left my page and I realize that they probably figured I was gone, but I do hope to talk with them all again. You all really helped me when I joined the site and believe me when I say that through all of this I remembered some of that great advice during these hardships. Appreciate you all and I hope everyone has been doing well. Hope to hear from you all soon!

wantmylifeback70 Not sure how to edit, but meant to say that my daughter lost her father in the line of duty and then lost her first baby.
