Well, my pacer and I turned one today! Hurray! My husband was so cute...he gave me a "birthday" card this morning then brought home a cake this afternoon that he made in the school's FCS room! It even had a number 1 candle. How sweet! What blessing to be alive another year and to have another shot at life. That IS something to celebrate. And I will every year. I hope you all do, too, when it's your 'birthday.'

I am a true miracle. Last year when I blacked out at school, my husband was smart enough to take me to the ER to get me checked out. I told him to just take me home, I'd be fine, and I would 'sleep it off' on the couch like so many times before. I'm glad he had enough sense to take me to the ER. I had had so many traumas to my head the past few years from blacking out and hitting hard surfaces, I needed to be checked. I just was so sick of going to the hospital and no one being able to help me. All my 'episodes' were so random that no test or monitor ever caught them. Until one year ago today in the ER. The doctors are amazed that I don't have short term memory loss from having a heartbeat of 4 beats/minute for minutes on end. Today I could be learning how to tie my shoes every day for the rest of my life or learn how to write my name or a number of things. But thank God, He saved me! And sent me my EP!!!

I also had a pacer check today. All is well!

Well, that's it. I just wanted to share. Thanks for being some of the greatest people on the planet. This club is just amazing. I am honored to be among a special group of 'battery-operated' people!

Happy pacing!
