Me, Myself and I: Formerly Known as Tagged Part ___
I had rheumatic fever as a child which according to my new doctor is a bigger deal than any doctor has ever made it before. She was absolutely shocked that I'd never had an echo cardiogram. Furthermore she informs me that it's probably one of the reasons that I have a hard time carrying babies (this was after I informed her that I could just feel the toll being pregnant had on my body) she says that pregnancy is hard on the heart in general and that for people who have had rheumatic fever it is even worse.
I was also told that this was something I needed to take into consideration when planning on having further kids (if I did) because the more stress I put on my heart the higher the risk I run of seriously damaging an already weakened organ.
Hmm, glad someone told me that in the last 20 years.
So there you go, when I was in elementary school I had strep throat ALOT (2-3 times a year) one time it got bad fast and I ended up with Rheumatic Fever... if you don't know what that is I will just tell you that Beth in Little Women, it's what she had, it's what weakened her heart. The Scarlet Fever (which really is just strep throat) got into her heart and caused R.F. which eventually killed her.
Also.... my washing machine died this weekend and that just sucks.
I have a poem about it that I will share tomorrow. Well it's really a non-poem poem as there is very little in the way of rythm involved.
Have a spectacular non-heart trying day.

Eowyn is awesome!
I could do an entire blog about her alone... look up under my title (The great and random...) I've got another great quote by her.
