I am going to do my best to returning to writing on a regular basis. My life has been crazy but I realized that I need the outlet for my emotions. Thank you for sticking by me.
Scott continues to recover at home. After four stent placements and the diagnosis of another artery blocked, our family lifestyle has been overhauled. While the kids are onboard and have not complained, I must admit that I discovered that a "family healthy lifestyle" is quite laborious! I feel like I am spending hours in the kitchen each day carefully prepping each meal. I'm hoping it eases with time because it is exhausting.
As a mercy, my leg seems to be complying beautifully. I despite spending considerably more time on my legs each day, I have been able to avoid skin issues and breakdown. Now if my emotional meltdowns were as easy to avoid.
It's hard. It's really really hard. I don't want to be a cardiac family. I want to turn back the clock 15 months to when I was happy any and felt valued. But that isn't possible, so right now I'm in survival mode.
Getting through the hours until the days are easier. We've done this type of trip before and we know we will make it to the other side. But this summer is not going to be a lot of fun.
