Just trying to get into the Christmas spirit, haha.
I haven’t been on here for awhile b/c I have been sick and we’re trying different medications, but my infection is still there. And also, I am having frequent heavy nosebleeds that last 2-3hours or so; has anyone had any experience with frequent nosebleeds?
Also, my older sister is going into surgery to remove a fairly large growth on her neck (they’ll biopsy the samples after they remove it, and we’ll know for sure if its cancer or not). I love her so much; I don’t know what I would do without her. But we know that God has everything under control.
My family and I are soooo thankful to the Lord that we’re not in the hospital cardiac ICU when my heart stopped beating like last Christmas! This is a very special gift God has given us, as well as the gift of Salvation; I’m glad we have this time set aside to remember the birth of Christ.
Well, I’m off to my appointment with my doctor. I’ll come back on later tonight, b/c I need to catch up with all of you! I’ve missed you all; even though I have been gone for awhile, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. This is an awesome support group…….minus a few psycho member (you know who you are) lol
Take care and Merry Christmas!

I think you win the award for best Christmas Spirit and song writer of the year! We should nominate you for a grammy! My family thought I was nuts as I sat in here singing the lyrics to the new and improved 12 Days of Christmas. :)~

Your positivity is so great. You have been greatly missed around here. I'm sure I speak for us all when I say we are glad to hear from you again and to know how things are going for you. I will definitely keep you and your sister in my prayers. I am wishing you great health in 2008 without any nosebleeds!

Take care and keep poppin' in on us!!!

Well, my dear Valerie.... you are an answer to my prayers.

I have been so concerned about you. I prayed very hard for you to be healthy enough to return to us.... and here you are. I see your sister now needs my prayers so I shall add her to my prayer request. ;-)

I am so happy to see you back and I have enjoyed the new improved version of the 12 Days of Christmas.

About the last sentence .... uhmmm hee hee there are so many of us that fit that description we will have wait and see who you are referring too! I can only hope it includes me!

The gift of salvation is certainly the best gift but your 12 Days of Christmas was high on my list today as well. I am amazed that you can keep your sense of humor during such difficult times. You are an inspiration!

Hey Valerie,
Thanks for the laugh your song was amazing. I have been so worried about you lately. I tried calling oh goodness I can't remember when but I am glad your doing ok. I have been thinking of your sister and you often and please send your family my love. I know how hard things are on the entire family. Though how amazing it is that the Lord is taking care of you always. Stay strong my sister. Blessings and Love! Merry Christmas!

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
