Thursday Things 05.17.18

Happy Thursday! It’s sooo nice here in Colorado! I hope it is where you are too and that you are getting a lot of outside time.

Michael and I grilled and ate outside on our patio last night. It was lovely.

These things are also quite nice.

  • This ruffled milk pie looks amazing.
  • 6 hairstyles that are so cute that probably won’t be able to do.
  • What’s wrong with my succulent?
  • Please read this article about cellulite and then give yourself a hug and stop worrying about it.
  • Laurel or Yanny? I vote Yanny, but then I listened to this one and heard Laurel until I adjusted the pitch. Idk #science

I am heading to Minnesota tomorrow for my sister-in-law’s baby shower and am so excited! I’ll get to celebrate with her, see family and friends, and hang out with my adorable little nephew.

On Monday I head to Mayo, where I will get an echocardiogram done to see if there is still a blood clot in my heart. Please send me good vibes!

If the blood clot is gone I will be able to have an ablation done, which will essentially get rid of my arrhythmias. If it is smaller I will continue to take the blood thinners and anti-arrhythmia medication and check back in a few months. If the clot is unchanged I’ll have to think about if I want to take medication for the rest of my life (not really) or have another heart surgery where they go in and remove the clot (not ideal).

Soooo let’s just hope that it’s gone!!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s a My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
