You are right. Thanks for the pep talk. I've spent the past two weeks feeling so sad, and I've been going through my papers throwing stuff out and planning what to get rid of so my family doesn't have to deal with all of it if I die. On one site I read that the life expectancy of people with chronic bronchitis is not too long--2 to 3 years, and I figured that with my afib also, and osteoporosis, that I had max ten years to live and could go suddenly from cardiac arrest if my heart goes crazy too often. But, I'll have more answers when I see the cardiologist. I'm in the dark now. Don't know what to expect. I do want to live more than ten more years. I would like to live 20 more years. I have four grandchildren and the new one (who I haven't met yet because they live a ways away) is the cutest, happiest little baby it's possible to be. I was planning to go meet him and see my daughter & the rest of her little family for Easter, but this afib blew all that out of the water for now. It's something to look forward to though and I'll get there somehow within the next two months.
I am trying. Just had lunch and will have a cup of tea and go on a short hike, then a walk at a family park where there are lots of children playing. It helps to listen to their laughter.
Sending hugs your way. You are big blessing to me today.
