A Nice Email Tonight

I was talking to my cousin earlier tonight when I got an email. I checked to see who it was from, and it was from Euan. It's kind of ironic, too, since my friend, Renee, asked me the other night if I had heard from him recently. I haven't heard from him since May. We were trying to make plans to meet each other, and unfortunately, the day we picked ended up not working for him. And ever since then, I hadn't really heard from him. I was disappointed, to say the least. My gut instinct, however, was that he might not be feeling well. He has a heart condition, not like mine, but serious enough that he needs to go to cardiologists often. Anyway, he said he had an episode of tachycardia (sp), where the heart starts racing very fast and doesn't stop. He had to call an ambulance since he was alone when it happened. He also said there's a possibility that he might have to have a defibrillator put in his heart to help if it happens again. But right now, he's recovering. He said he still really wants to meet me, whenever he starts feeling a lot better.

For those of you who are wondering, Euan is a guy I started talking to after receiving a message from him on match.com. I used to have a personal up on that site, and he sent a message. I wasn't a paying member, but I thought he was rather interesting. So I signed up for a free 3 days so I could write him back, and cancelled the membership right after that. lol We emailed each other books for quite a while, and had so much in common, it was unbelievable to me. Then we talked on the phone for a while. Then we'd lose touch, get back in touch months later, lose touch again, get back in touch, etc. lol We had been in touch for a bit starting in January, and that's when we were trying to make plans to meet. I know that one day we will. And I know that whenever we do, we'll have a fabulous time! I hope it's soon, but I want him to get better. Because as much as I know him and don't know him, I do know that I care a lot about him, and I want him to be ok.

So, that's the update on Euan. I'm glad that he is ok for now, and I hope he continues to get well. I can't wait for the day we get to meet each other! :)

Euan is on my prayer list. Tell him to take care, so that you two can meet. :) *Hugs* my friend! Comment from anglswinks - 7/12/05 6:03 PM

My mom had tachycardia too. She had to have some sort of surgery to keep it from happening. Not exactly sure what it was, but pretty sure it wasn't the defibrillator. Hope he's feeling better. it's a very scary experience. ~ Lori Comment from fitzzer - 7/12/05 8:34 AM

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
