I'm back!
I'm feeling well!
I'm ready to rock and roll...well, soon!
Yes, three weeks ago my heart turned bionic! My two heart surgeons used their calm, steady hands and excellent skills to work on me and oh, I've got heart now! I'll forever be grateful for their care and expertise. They said, my heart was was a challenge! The night before the surgery, my head heart surgeon called me at home. He told me he wanted a change of venue and perform the surgery at the Medical Center downtown Houston! Ekk...I was all for that, being that they knew I would not be a normal one to work on. Oh joy! So, it was scheduled two days later. Well, I was almost famous, so they tell me. They sure wanted to push back my surgery till July 29th. This group of heart surgeons coming from across the world are coming to watch this kind of procedure! My doctor is the guru. Well, lost my chance at signing autographs, it was not possible, my little broken heart could not wait. So, I've got a full operational heart now with all the bells and whistles!! It'll kick me into next year if it falters!!
I've got a few more weeks of rest and then, it's Rocking and Rolling time!
Get this, 30 years ago, August 3, 1985 we were rocking and rolling in New York City! Flew there to catch our flight to Caneel Bay, the perfect Honeymoon destination! Oh my, idyllic luxury in the Caribbean, in the Virgin Islands will forever be in my memory!
Our one night in New York City was magical! Stayed at the Plaza Athenee. We went to all the hot spots and started out at the Greatest Bar in the world, at the World Trade Center restaurant Windows of The World. What can I say, it was perfect. We had a limo drive us to all the sights Mr. Notes wanted me to see. NYC at night is beyond description. Don't tell, but I was standing up through the skylight of the limo across the entire Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan style and after midnight! Crazy Fun!
Well, Mr. Notes, the sweetheart that he is, has an eye on me and wants me to get off the computer and rest my arm and shoulder. Smarts if I type to much...at least that is what I tell him! He must do all the bookkeeping now. Shhh...
pkay, it really does smart!
Thank you for all the prayers, calls, notes, emails, flowers and thoughts too!
My sweet family, without them, these last three weeks would have been dreadful! The grandkids sure make me want to rock and roll again!
Here's a little treat for all of you!
Heart of Rock and Roll
I'll be back again
So happy for you!

Oh Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear from you, and so glad that you're doing well!!!! I have been lifting you up in my daily prayers.
Loving hugs, kisses and blessings are sent to you.
Rock on girl...rock on!!
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy, Nancy, NANCY....I had read your post a while ago about the pacemaker and defibrillator surgery and I have had you on my mind since!!! I'm so happy to 'see' you at my humble abode today, visiting me.
ReplyDeleteAnd reading your update, and knowing that you had your surgery done in Houston [the heart capital of the world in my opinion] you were definitely in GOOD HANDS!! In fact, Houston has the top medical facilities all around if you ask me. But then, you didn't ask...
LOL
Anyway, you continue to rest, and since my heart attack back in March, I have a very special place IN MY HEART for the two of us....Take care dear one.
Oh my you've been through a lot for sure and it's so good to hear you are home again and on the mend. Do take it easy and don't over do things.
ReplyDeleteThankful you are recovering so well, I just know you are itching to get going full speed ahead.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy in our Texas heat, and welcome back!
