dear nannygoat5, lilyann here, yep, lots of family members, never had what you would call friends, just aquaintances and believe you me........what i had to listen to.........and naturally of course when i got to speak a few words......it was....oh, i got another phone call on another line or someone is at the door or some other blimey excuse. i really have never been given the opportunity to state my case on anything. so yes, when i think about certain times i just cringe. wishing i said this or that but you know what i get to thinking...........someone up stairs holds my tongue. however, i do rant to my husband and you know men are so different, like my husband, things just roll off his shoulders. ha ha, but women..........its there for a lifetime. again ha ha

so sorry that you have a cardiac problem, when you know you have something it just plays and plays on your mind. just like when i was told i have 6 months to live.........well, my goodness, started to get rid of things and then she gave me another 6 months to live and you know what is so funny...........when i was still here at that 6 months..........i was the happiest camper...........because in my mind...........i don't want to know...........jesus knows and that's enough for me. so i told my husband do not ask.............yes...........it felt like some kind of cloud was lifted. now, the clouds are back because of a new drug RX'D. the side effects are awful.
so nannygoat5, i am hear to hear your story. gave you part of mine. i got lots of stories. octogenarian here. evidently you are a good listener and that is why your probably the only one that would listen to her. so i am wishing you wellness and happiness,
