We spoke with the cardiologist, he is with Presb hosp, he is doing a cath tomorrow...while I am acared I also have a sense of calm...hopefully not that 'calm before the storm'. I am getting a little more used to this wicked ride, though, still feel like I am going to be sick at any time. I haven't shown that to anyone else except you guys and Eddie. It's tough being strong, at least pretending to be. I also set up an appt with a rad-onc in case tomorrow's surg dictates that what is currently planned for surg can't be done. Mother's Day was nice, it was nice to watch my mom with the kids, especially with Livy, my sister's baby. I think everyone who is down should have a little person reminding them how wonderful life is. I am overwhelemed at times but also so very thankful that we found out that she has both these diseases, I keep telliong her this, left untreated we could have lost her. I'm going to go outside with her now...JoAnne, we went out and spent about $200+ on flowers...working on them today. I just realized I have to get a neighbor in to water them, it would be awful to come home and find them dead
