I made it to see another Christmas which is certainly better than the year of 2012! Had my heart tests done in July and although they are not great here is the prognosis....the echocardiogram shows Coronary heart disease; CHF. The left ventricle is mildly enlarged with the lower wall having decreased motion and reduced left ventricular systolic function with an ejection of fresh blood entering the body of 45%; Normal is 62% to 77% in males. The heart valves are functioning properly. I take Spiriva; have a Albuterol emergency puffer for shortness of breath...DR. believes it may be COPD from Smoking that I quit 18 months ago with the Heart attack. I take 5 necessary prescriptions for the heart and COQ-10 the liver enzyme replenisher.
For those out there with any Health related maladies: I wish you the Very Merriest of Christmases and may we be safe and sound in the New Year coming!!! PIEERE

On 8/29/13, six weeks before we were to leave Illinois and begin our full time adventure, Paul was rushed to the ER with internal bleeding, and spent 3 days in intensive care. I thought I was going to loose him. But 5 procedures and ten weeks later we got the doctor's blessing to start our journey. He has to go back for additional 'maintenance ' every 6 months, but we'll happily work that into our travels. Now here we are in Hondo, TX, our first Christmas on the road. Paul is doing fine and we are so grateful.
Pieere - I'm very glad you're doing so much better this year than last. I wish you and the whole RV Dreams family a Merry and Blessed Christmas!
Peace & Safe Travels,
Penny
