RE: I just cant cope
Melody,
I know everyone's different, but if it is of any help whatsoever, here's how I coped with my heart attack 5 years ago.
Like you I had been very active, heavily into weight training, every single day. Then my cholesterol caught up with me! Went to the sauna after a work out for the first time in my life.. heart went faster and faster to try and cool my blood down, until a clot lodged in my heart and bingo heart attack.
Into intensive care, 'We find that if you survive the night, you'll be OK'.
Anxious wife and son, me thinking:
'there is NO way that I'm going to die, except for these damn tubes going into me, I feel fine, bloody stupid, stupid fool going into that sauna, still I think I was due for a heart attack at some time with my family history, lucky it happened so near to the hospital'
At all times I was:
a. positive
b. had a detached scientific attitude to my illness,,, asked the docors and nurses about every tube, machine, medicine they used, got a look at the chest X-ray that showed very little damage.
Convince yourself that you are NOT going to die, because you are not.
Read, read, read up on your problem. You will probably see on many web sites that a pace maker can be fitted just under the skin in a very simple operation which will take over your defective sinus. Knowledge is not only power, but it is comfort as well.
As I said at the start, no one is the same when face to face with illness, and thanks be to God, both my heart attack and cancer have been mild and I was treated by the best doctors and nurses in the entire world, but that is my way,, I hope it helps,,, Bless you and you family.

Hello Melody
Sorry to hear of your illness but like the others have said, keep a positive outlook on things, there's a lot of treatment and help out there. The fact that you were previously so active and kept yourself fit will stand you in good stead in fighting this illness.
Remember "there is nothing more powerful than your body's inherent ability to heal itself as long as you provide it with proper nutrition" so look after yourself and try and get lots of rest.
Best wishes
Lynne
