Kimberly's Congenital Heart Defect Journey

Kimberly's Congenital Heart Defect Journey CHD is a battle! Some win and some lose! I have been winning like a true Warrior since 1978.
I had 5 open heart surgeries. A pacemaker since 1996.

I enjoy watching shows on murders. I love to cook and grill out. I love country music.

Yesterday, I became sick after the Ascites was drained. This morning, I ate my biscuit and gravy.
After lunch and ate my soup. Before I know I was vomiting and the nurse gave me a zoloft and some water. After that, I bought a Sprite and so far, it helped settled it. I'm not hungry as of now. I know I want the tropical fruit. I am craving a strawberry milkshake without the whipped topping..

Last Friday, the upper left tooth broke and I have been in pain ever since. I hope you all have a good day.

My belly button as of now. It looks so weird. I'm so used to it feeling smooth. It actually feels wrinkling now. I hope in time, it will be smaller than a month ago. Before it was popped out that strangers would ask me when I am delivering my baby. 🤣
I have to get some lotion once I know I can, but at the moment it's the least of worries. 😟

I just had another 3 liters drained and my belly is starting to get smaller each time it's drained. I took care of some business that needed to be done. I also had her banned from coming up here. If she shows up and refuses to leave, the police will be called and they will be called and she will have no choice, but to leave or go to jail. I also had the internet shut off because I won't pay the bill and no one is going to enjoy it if I don't live there. Plus, they don't deserve it for kicking me out. Her excuse is I am mean. I would have been nice if her son and daughter weren't disrespectful to me. Now, I am going to focus on myself and not worry about that so called family. I know part of it was so some lazy bum canlive there.. I'm going to call the Adult Protection Service and have them come and take her brother out of the home and for kicking me out when when I was close to dying. Someone has to protect her brother. I'm scared her baby daddy will hurt him if he sees his sister getting smacked around. One day, this guy is going to kill her.

I'm so angry because my brother, Duke's daughter has done me wrong. She lied straight to my face about her children doesn't want me to come home. She made that decision because she wants to be with her baby daddy who has a previous past of beating her in front of her children. I can't help it, but my feelings are because I feel betrayed by her. Come Monday, I am having the internet shut off.
She chose him and because of him, she can't see her grandson. I don't blame her son for making that decision.

My belly button finally ran shunk from what it was. It feels wrinkling now instead of popping out like it was. I hope it doesn't get any bigger than it is now. I'm so over this health issues I have. Between the heart conditions, kidney problems, liver cirrhosis, diabetes and and my mental health issues. This is not the life I want to live having. It doesn't help when I have family who want to say crap about my oldest brother and his wife, Angie because she thinks I am their responsibility which I am not. I'm going to use the money from my car payment and the insurance to let my brother put up so they can make sure my wishes my wishes are et when I pass away. (Hopefully 12 years from now)
I love my nieces and nephews blood or notmore than they'll ever know and their children. I also don't need to be reminded who is blood, step or adopted into my family like a certain person told me a few weeks back.

Today was a fairly good day. I had my stuff brought up to me since I will be here for 6 months or until I am going ready to be on my own in an assisted living. I hope this works otherwise, I am screwed.

I've been in the hospital since May 28th and the hospice since late Friday afternoon. I'm so tired of eating the food these places served is horrible. I don't know how people eat this nasty food. Tomorrow, when my niece comes to visit, she picking up for lunch and I'm super excited. Finall, something I actually will eat. I just can't decide if I want a Whopper r Whopper Jr Meal with Onion rings and a Fanta soda.

Hi Everyone! I was transferred to a hospice facility yesterday afternoon. When I arrived, I had an anxiety attack because I was scared especially when they used the word "comfort." I told them not use that word because it reminded me of when my brother, Devon was in hospice at home a few years ago. I watched him take his last breath with 2 of his daughter's and a cousin who started problems and other things.
They drained the fluid from the Liver Cirrhosis on Thursday. I do have a catheter in to change any fluid so, I don't get horribly bloated like I was. I was drained 3 different times in the eight days I was in the hospital. They got 12.3 liters out of me. The hospice will check it to see if it needs to be emptied later today or if it can wait another day or two. Yesterday, I was sick to my stomach so, I didn't eat. I feel better now. I'm just in pain. My meds will be here later to help with the pain. My kidney was failing along with my liver. My kidney isn't failing now. 🙌
Hopefully, my niece comes and bring some clothes so I can join in the activities with the others here. I also need my Pepsi and my Mountain Dew here. I did get a Dr. Pepper yesterday and I had a Coke. 🤮
It's been a little crazy the past 8 days for me. Unfortunately, I was kicked out of the house. Which is good- less stress for me. I hope today is a better day for me. 🤞I'll update when I have more news to share. Have a great weekend!
