Stephanie's Journal

Hello Everyone, Its been awhile since I wrote in my journal. I Didn\'t mean to stay away this long. Its seems as though u miss writing in your journal one day,then one day turns into a week and then a week turns into two. I just wanted to know if anyone of you have a pacemaker? If so,do You have problems with it and how was the recovery? I have a slow heart rate(low 40s to low 50s) an doctor wants to put in a pacemaker.

It feels so wonderful to actually be apart of this GreAt network of people just like me. I have been reading some of you guys journals and stories,i must say i feel like i know you all personally. Im SOooo glad ive finally signed up as a Heart Valve Journalist ;\' ) . In my free time i find myself getting lost on this website an I tell myself \"One day when i get time im gonna actually sign up.\" So today i finally decided to stop procrastinating and \"Just Do It\". It took me awhile to get my profile set up but i did it! Like i posted in My Story, i have had open heart surgery before but it happened when i was one years old (so i dont even remember it). It kind of reminds me of Something i read on Stephanie Cole\'s page stating that \"It happened so long go till i feel like it didnt happen to me,as though it happened to someone else.\" Then when i look at my chest im reminded that \"Yes Indeed\" it did happen to me and im just Thankful to have my \"War Wound\" because it keeps me grounded and lets me know \"I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!\" *D--%-- RoSe*
