Tis But Another Day

Tis another day and waiting for the Big Game of the Week to begin. Wanting to know who to congratulate. Brother-in-law or my daughter.
My out-law Brother is a Bronco's fan and my daughter is a Steeler's fan, as for me I could care less. I just like watching play offs and the Superbowl. I'm not much of a sports fan. I use to like playing sports when I was younger and all but since my open heart surgery I can't do too much any more.

My surgery was to by-pass an aneurysm on my coronary artery. It was about the size of a cherry tomato the doctor said. The doctor tied it off on each side and then bi-passed it with two grafts around it. The surgery was only done to save my life. Not to correct any of the other things wrong with my heart. If the aneurysm wasn't there the surgery would not have been done.

The other things wrong with my heart, stated by the doctors , are minor. I look at it this way , go out on a lake in a boat, shoot five holes in it. It will slowly sink. The same with me ,there are FIVE MINOR things wrong with my heart. If I exercise, or exert myself in anything physical, I about black out. I haven't felt real good for years now. I do what I can and rest a lot. It is frustrating and has been down right depressing. The hardest part was learning my limitations. Yard work use to be a snap, now it is a real hard chore, buy the time I get everything ready to do a job I'm already exhausted and have to take a long brake. Then to go back at it later is just as hard. Mind you I am not complaining. I'm glad to be alive. Most of my time is spent on the computer or doing small minor meaningless task. I have adapted to this stumbling block in my life. I have a saying that I came up with. " When Life Knocks You Down, Laugh or You May Not Get Up."

Through out my life I have always used humor and laughter to deal with my pain. Whether it be physical or emotional. It makes a bitter pill easier to swallow. Hence Tis But Another Day
