Happy Anniversary to me!... oh and Antonio. We have made it 14 years!! I think....just a second....yup 14 years! It has been so long that I have to subtract the years. Crazy! I will admit that I didn't want to do anything because I am a party pooper. Antonio bought me some new running shoes. I think it was a hint that I needed to get running again. I got the new Brooks Ghost 4. They are cute! They didn't fit so he talked me into exchanging them and then tricked me into going to dinner. I didn't want to, but I'm glad that he forced me to. We went to Carrabas which is my favorite!!! A normal person wouldn't bring their kids on their Anniversary date, but we waited so long to have kids that we actually like being around them. GASP! It was fun. Afterwards I tricked Antonio into going to the mall....fair is fair! The girls got some ice cream and I shopped a little....ok a lot. hahaha I love to shop and I'm not afraid to shout it from the rooftops! The swimming pictures are from another day. We all love to go swimming (well I just love to lay out, but swimming is fun too, I guess). I would put up more pictures, but Antonio has them in some weird format so he can edit them and I can't figure out how to use them.
OK now for all of you who care...I officially have a diagnosis!! I will spare you the whole story because it is loooonnnggggg, but the diagnosis is that I have a hole in my heart. Yes....a hole. Evidently everyone is born with a hole in their heart, but when you breathe oxygen it is supposed to close, but mine didn't. The Dr. said it is pretty common (about 25% of people) Some people go a lifetime and never find out about it. Others (like me) start to have symptoms and find out later in life (but not too late because I am still young...you hear me? I'm still young! :)) I have an appointment with my cardiologist in August to do further testing to see how big it is and to make an appointment for surgery. I couldn't get in until mid August because I am going to Jackson again the first week of August! I know I just got back, but my dad bought another condo there so I am going. Who can resist? not me! Anyhoo....My doctor has told me not to run until I meet with the cardiologist because I have had 2 TIA's. Yikes! He knows I am concerned about gaining weight, but he told me that I can just buy a corset if I gain weight. Yes, he really said that! He was joking, but I thought it was funny. He said that my sparkly toes and shoes were cute. He also asked me if I was always so talkative and "fast paced". I was like "what? I actually am low key today because I have had a migraine." I think he thinks I'm psycho...just like the last doctor. I'm just nice! and friendly! and cute! and .....ok a little psycho!! So...I know I shouldn't be happy that they found a hole in my heart and I'm not, but I'm just relieved that they actually found something wrong with me and now I can get fixed! I have been saying for years that something was wrong. I am not imagining it. All right that's enough for tonight....bye!
