Hello all,

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and got all the news. Some good, some

not so good. Six months ago they did a chest x-ray and saw something in my

right lung. Well, they just did a cat scan of it again and the nodules got

smaller. NO cancer. They think its just scar tissue from the many times I've

had pneumonia or second hand smoke.

The echo cardiogram showed up that I have severe aortic stenosis. I had one

done about a year ago and they are checking both out to see how much worse

things have gotten. I am going to need open heart surgery, but they are

trying to see how soon I need it done. They have told me that I'm not a real

good candidate for it because of my being overweight and all the other health

problems I have. I should know sometime next week about all this. I am very

happy about the no cancer thing though.

Will let you all know as soon as I do. Please keep those prayers and heeling

energy coming my way. I thank you all for being there for me to talk to. At

this time I don't know what I would have done without you all.

Thanks again and all my love going your way,

Ellie
