You have to be cognizant of your surroundings and pay attention to the people around you.
On April 21st 2008 my mother had her aortic valve replaced. A valve normally lasts for 12 to 15 years. My mother turned 77 years old on July 3rd. I did a birthday post of she and I at Olive Gardens if you remember.
I started noticing my mother was having similar symptoms like back in 2008: short of breath, really weak and looking very grey. Meaning her circulation was severely comprised. If you go back to that birthday post a few weeks ago, you can see what I’m talking about.
On Wednesday night July 22nd, my mother’s symptoms went into a tailspin. The next day I checked her into the hospital and 8 days later they replaced her valve. Her life was saved and the quality of her life restored.
A Toast to Rosy cheeks and Circulation as you can see.
