Richard's Guestbook

Hope you’re doing well. Love your posts.  Hope you don’t mind the teasing.  Love hearing stories of your family and the special memories and also sad that you share.    It’s still so challenging for me both doctors still don’t agree.  Taking pokes at the other.  Going to go to st Francis and find another cardiologist.  They are grasping at straw at this point.  Im grateful to be alive.  I didn’t expect to be older in my body than in my mind. Something happened I wake up with spins and during day other weird things happen.   I’m just learning to live with it.  Im happy for all the heart warriors that got their lives back I just want mine back as well. 

Hi Richard, sorry you’re uncomfortable.  Those shots go deep.  Hope you are feeling a bit more comfortable.  I remember using a washcloth with ice  15-20 minutes 3 times a day.  Hope your not too swollen

Hi Richard. I am writing to tell you that we had to put my sweet Maisy to sleep today. I am heartbroken. It is going to be a huge adjustment without her. She was an angel on earth and I am sure she is an angel in heaven now

I just got your  message and told my boyfriend if we ended up in Massachusetts we will need to visit you & your wife.  You have been instrumental in helping me through this journey.  I hope the eye patch is gone and you can take a normal shower.  Hopefully the eye growth is a stupid thing like a dirt spec or eyelid hair.  I had stopped posting for a while because I’m suffering and don’t want to be discouraging to others. I do believe the glue products are a problem I have such a rash from the monitor I’m also concerned with products from china and our banking systems etc. three days off heart monitor and my skin isn’t right.  Time should heal it.   I called and got a nurse who was great they see irregularities in results but nothing alarming on the first two weeks of monitoring. Waiting on second two weeks  I’m going to get Ct angiogram then go back to both doctors.  Everything keeps coming back normal I can’t walk a flight of stairs without being out of breath.  My balance is off I get dizzy and heart pangs. I’m 59 in an 87 year old body.  I might have to just get used to this.  Also hope colonoscopy went well.  You need some time with your family and shadow with freedom of this behind you. Retirement is hard it’s an adjustment learning just do for you.  You are good with people you would be amazing helping a youth group.  I final got my Ct angiography.  I have a ekg schedule of my brain.  Then  back to doctors 

The doctor called it Vikings feet thought my blonde hair was real.  But it’s a tumor on the bottom of my arch apparently when I walked in Rome I over did it and it aggravated something I was t aware of. 

I  can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blindIt's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day.


I checked the weather in mass. To make sure it  will be sunny tomorrow. Glad you’re over that hurdle.  

Hello my dear Richard, I’m back from Florida. It was nice to be with my brother and my family. It’s all in God’s hands. I know your cataract surgery is next week. Remind me again what day. You will be fine and have a successful surgery with your new surgeon. I will continue to pray for everything to go well. Love ❤️ and prayers🙏

Hi Richard can’t put a price on your eyes.  My grandmother always said take care of your eyes teeth and feet.  you have been so helpful to me and I know others on this site.  I think of you as the king of hearts.  I wanted you wish you the best and ask you  did  you have a month monitor before doing the under skin heart monitor?   

Richard, saw that you are going to a different cataract surgeon with the latest and greatest technology.  My friend just paid out-of-pocket for cataract surgery, whereby the eye incision is made via a laser, so much gentler (and precise?) on the eye.  Really pricey, but got stellar results.  Hope you do too.

Hi Richard ,
I hope that you and Nancy are doing okay .
Your last appointment sounded reassuring but I know that you will still worry .
Sending love to you , Nancy and Shadow xxx
