Thank you to everyone that has sent messages, reposted my story, and kept me in their thoughts and prayers.
Through tons of discussions, prayers, and doctors advice, I have made a decision to get the PFO closed through a different procedure. Obviously there are pros and cons to any surgery; I feel that Donny and I have made the best decision for us and our life. Im sure you can all imagine the amount of stress of having to go through open heart surgery, and how that was weighing on my family.
I was touched by how many people spent the time to reach out to us and send messages and keep us in their thoughts. It really helped me get through the past few weeks to know that so many people were thinking of me and sending me positive thoughts. My new surgery will now be later in the month, with only 3 weeks recovery. I will be back in the gym by Christmas! A much better recovery than 4 months!!!!!!!!!
People can say what they want about this industry, but I have seen the love and togetherness first hand, and I am truly blessed and honored to be in this industry with so many caring people. I am so thankful for everyones support through this and will never forget the kindness that I have seen. Thank you ALL. Much Love!
