LOL!

A friend and I were just talking about this the other day...how I rarely got into trouble ... because I was shy and didn't have many friends as a youngster.

So, I didn't have a "typical" HS career or, for that matter, college days. Which kinda made me a bit sad :(.

Jan 10 made 5 years for me also. Its been a tough battle at times but all of it was worth it to keep me alive. Jan 15,2001 I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, severe leakage, congestive heart failure, left branch bunndle block and mild pulmonary hypertension. All the research showed that I had probably 5 years max. HELLO, its been 6 years!!!!!!!!! I fell pretty good some days. I also now have 2 more valves that are leaking mild to moderate and will probably require my 3rd open heart surgery. Only God can determine the outcome. I live each day as best I can and try to stay positive.
Good luck to you Cort on your 5 years also, May you stay in good health my friend.

Thanks for understanding Cort.
I hope to get a chance to see you again one of these days.
We will wait and see, more people are leaving Michigan than coming.
A recent report stated over 35,000 have left so far in the last few years.

"when we left (that is--cort's best friend, heather, my boyfriend, eric, and
i) we had seen cort in the icu. since this is really the first surgery i
have been fully aware of, seeing him in the icu may have seemed more
extreme to me than it really was.."

When I read this part I actually remembered that post. Time really flies, doesn't it.

You look good, you are moving around the country and enjoying life. Can't beat that. Keep on truckin - or is that car-ing. And Congratulations on a brand new life. Blessins.........

You are welcome, Rich!

And, I, too, hope to see you again soon ... I plan to be in MI at least once (if not twice) in 2008, so hopefully will see you during one of those trips ;).

Yes, it does. In the 5 years since, Joy and Eric have married ... tying the knot in May 2005. Hard to believe THAT has been almost 3 years ago now ... he he.
