Dare I say it? Things are looking up!
What a roller coaster ride for you. I'm glad you are able to see the positive side throughout all of this. Merry Christmas to you too!
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
I am truly glad you are feeling better, physically and emotionally.
Again your strength and positivity are an inspiration (as is your amazing weight loss).
Wishing you much happiness and health in the future.

Hi Darlene, I have not been on the boards much lately. I just read your post. Wow you have had one run of bad luck. I am so glad that you are on the other side now and that your health is improving. Good for you buy yourself some Diamonds that is a wonderful gift to yourself.
Merry Christmas to you and I will keep good thoughts for your continued improvement in your health. Big Hugs Deb
Hey Dar! Good to hear you are on the mend.
If you are coming to University Hospital for the ablation, you will have the best! I work in Anesthesiology and likely one of my docs will be knocking you out. Give me a shout if you want a visitor!
All the best,
