Something called heart failure

Hi,
It took a while for me to come to terms with a terminal diagnosis. Yes I thought the world owed me something better, but no, this is life, here one moment possibly gone the next. What I do is concentrate on each day I wake never worrying too much about tomorrow, if I don't wake it is all over anyway. We all die sooner or later so making the best of the time we can graspe is the best we can do. I make sure I fill each day with as much as I can do not wanting to leave anything undone. Death can be sudden and unexpected from may different causes, I don't have the time to be thinking of them. Here and now this very moment is my focus. I sat around waiting for death for a while and all it did was consume me throwing me into depression. I take a possitive attitude, I'm alive now get on with life while I have the chance. I was supposed to be dead 3 years ago but the message never go through! Live for today while you can. I could die from a road accident while waiting for my terminal disease to get me, I'm not waiting, too much to do and not enough time to ponder the odds.
Feel better.
Cheers

My fear is not of death, perhaps death will be a salvation. My fear is that I will die before seeing my family, my mother whom I have not seen for 11 years, my father and my brothers. My fear is of sadness that might break my mother’s heart and cause grief to my family. I have never remembered a day that I have hurt or caused any harm to a person, so I do not want to make sad the people who are dearest to my heart. I know that this is life, there is no such thing as eternity, but the fear remains a fear of the unknown.

I have lost an aunt and her son to heart failure in there 30. They passed away 40 years ago. I do know they have learned a lot since then. I will get a second opinion. Go to a learning or teaching clinic and hospital.
Do research for yourself. There are a number of websites that are from different teaching clinics and hospitals that will have information for you. Go to Google scholar and see what is there.
I was told alcohol made my family problem worse.
I wish you the best but now it’s time to get your boxing gloves on and fight for it
Wishing you the best
