Hey, Denise, I have a friend, her name is Emma Su. She will get her PHD degree next Summer and will work as a faculty ( assistant profeesor ) at University of Dayton. It is so amazy. I told her about you. And she is so glad to hear our story. She is a very nice christian young lady. She knows nobody at Dayton. If you would like to be a friend of her, that would be wonderful for her to start a new life in the north.
My cell phone number is 662-312-4935, would you mind giving me your number ? Then I can talk to you sometimes on the phone. Thanks and God bless your family.

Hi Denise, I have heard great things about your surgeon. He was recommended to me by a couple of people way down here in Texas. They both were his patients.

Denise Kirchner Thanks Pat! I pushed back when my cardiologist wanted to send me back full time on October 31st. He relented and agreed to part time for the first 30 days. That way I will have 4 weeks of cardiac rehab under my belt before dealing with full time at work. If I could I would retire but we lost so much financially with Ric being underemployed for the last 9 years. I don't really have a choice🙁. But that is life......

This reminds me of the Wright Brothers. They had to rebuild their "plane" a number of times before everything was in place for "sustainable" powered flight!
Every time they flew they went through an exhaustive check of the entire craft.
The times they experienced problems were the times they 'rushed' that checkout process. Once they realized they needed to do that check and not be rushed... they achieved their goal! Great job listening to what your body is telling you Denise! We need to get some Erma Bombeck books and do some laughing! Peace and Joy!
