Hello all,
I've been on a journey that I don't want anyone else to take. When I mysteriously disappeared, it was because I was suddenly diagnosed with some pretty serious heart issues.
Long story short is July 24, 2009 (missed our annual rodeo) carted off to St. George, Dixie Regional Medical Center to spend 4 days. Diagnosed with stage 2 CHF, atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea, and a thyroid issue.
Feb 26, 2010, open heart surgery to replace the aortic valve, repair the mitral valve, and do a "Cox-Maze IV" (basically a slicing and dicing of the upper heart to control the electrical impulses. On Nov 15, 2010, I had a pacemaker installed and am now ready to get on with my life.
Thanks to the rest of the Four Country Gals, they kept things going while I was recovering. Couldn't have done it without them.
I'm getting all my blogs updated, and am now back to working on the farm. Good thing, since it's almost lambing season, and the calves are due in May.
Ok, off to catch up with stuff here,
Shari Thomas, back after a 2 year break for heart issues. Ready to get on with life now.Four Country Gals |

Happy to be a "Raggedy Ann" in a Barbie World!
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thanks all! Believe me, I've missed a lot. Gotta tell you... I just lost my desire to write when I felt so bad. I could play games, but not be creative at all.
Here's a new blog (only 3 posts) for you to check out. It's our latest project...Backyard Aquaponics
