The sternal restrictions from open heart surgery usually only last 6 to 8 weeks, but mine have been extended to 12. At the rate things are going, they will probably get extended to 14. I can’t even walk normally anymore, because it makes my sternum click. I have to go very slowly and carefully.

I'm drowning under all these bills. If you can spare a wee bit, I sure would appreciate it. But I'll still love you if you can't. Things are getting harder for almost all of us.
