Click share? Why not?

Today was one of the scariest days of my life. I mark it up there with the day my dad killed himself, or the day I left for college, or the night I spent in the Spanish jail. You don't realize how scary uncertainty is until it's the only thing you realize. Four months later, three cardiologists, every possible cardiac test, a best estimated guess diagnosis, a referral to Mayo and hours of googling and I'm wondering if I ever should have mentioned chest pain at that one doctors appointment. Did I just set myself up for a lifetime of worry, medical expenses, and inconveniences? I almost think I would prefer to unexpectedly croak over while jogging around a lake. Should have, could have, would have... Here I am. I've never been one to journey (if that's what you call this) alone, so I'll invite you with the hopes I can touch a life, change an attitude, let someone know they are not alone, or at least crack a smile. I shall blog. A story filled with hope. Perhaps a miracle. A story filled with growth. Perhaps an epiphany. A new perspective on life; a perspective that entails uncertainty without fear. The story of a changing heart.

  2. Praying and thinking of you Kadie. You and your family have so many friends that are here for you. You have shown by your words, how courageous and generous you are. I could fill a page of adjectives to describe you (all positive!) but today I am amazed by your strength. GOD bless YOU, Kadie.
