Birthday
Tomorrow is my birthday. Even as I sit here typing this, I have to admit that 22 months ago, I would not have guessed that I would be alive today. Each day, there is a part of me that wonders if, in fact, I *am* going to be the 1 in 5 that beats this disease.
Since tomorrow is a school day (and we have a scout event in the evening) we celebrated my birthday today. My younger son, apparently, is watching too much Food Network, because he wanted to make a full sheet birthday cake with people made out of rice-crispy treat and covered with fondant. He ended up making a 9″ round cake, with a single fondant covered person (me) out pastillage. Check out these pictures:
By the way, I heard back from the cardiologist and my echocardiogram was normal (the wall of my left atrium is on the high side of normal, but still normal. All things considered, things are good!
Cheers,
Merle
