Today is 3 years since my sister left us in such a sudden tragic way. She has been on my mind on and off all day. Well, honestly, she is every day, but today is so piercing still with the grief of her not physically being here and with missing her.
I have unwelcome adventures coming up for me in the new year. I have just been diagnosed with my spinal cord being compressed in my neck, and I have no choice but to have surgery as soon as possible. I have asked for a referral to Duke in Raleigh, NC, but haven't heard anything from that yet.
I was so ready to be as healed from the open heart procedures last year as possible, and was making really good progess in so many ways, with the exception of still being short of breath and fluid retention (which cardiology couldn't explain). I've been told those are a result of the spinal cord compression. I am afraid of having the procedure----and yet I want it over as soon as possible so that I can try to move forward with my life----again.

Missing your sister, missing a loved one is at times so emotionally painful it hurts physically. I’ll be with you, sending out vibes for successful surgery and healing vibes. I hope you find the best team possible to help you through this. Imagine being able to breath well again and continuing in good health as you enjoy riding along on your bike next summer.
