I haven't posted much for a while. Life has been complicated. In 2022, I nearly died from congestive heart failure. I survived. Completed acute rehab, started exercising and losing weight, and increased my mobility. I lost just over 200 lbs and worked out about an hour per day.
I got into a wonderful relationship in 2023, and we made plans to get married in March of 2024. Life was wonderful and my future looked promising.
On Thanksgiving Day of 2023, however, I had a massive brain bleed. I was in a coma and required a major craniotomy. I was not expected to survive. I may share more of the story another time but will keep the story a bit shorter now.
I spent 65 days in the hospital and the acute hospital rehab. I remember nothing from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I have worked slowly to gain back strength. They thought that my talking would be impaired and walking impossible. I need a cane to help with balance, but I am able to do both.
My fiance and I got a house this fall and she moved in to get it set up. We got married at this year's New Year shindig with her friends. I am moving today (Friday) to join her in the new home that is now ready for our lives together.
I'm alive. I'm newly remarried (my first wife died in 2018). I'm getting stronger and so much happier through the tough times. It is a new year, and definitely a new start.
I hope you all are blessed this year, even when times are hard. Don't give up. A new start may be just around the bend.
