I am quite obviously new to this forum. I found it while stumbling through the internet looking for heart failure support groups. I am 35 years old, a fairly staunch atheist and just found out I am suffering from severe heart failure. As you can quite imagine, or not, I am feeling fairly alone so...here I am. Typing away at the ever so loving companionship of the computer and internet.
This however seems to be the only recourse I currently have. What support I was able to find in the area was religion based and the only atheist and free thought groups I was able to find in my area are at least an hour and a half away...not an easy feet when I am a full time dad to a 3 month old.
So...Hello...maybe I will get lucky and a handful of you will be from the eastside of Cleveland and decent human beings...
So Cleveland...we all have to die of something. Severe Heart failure?? So why would you think you are alone?? You are, but are not. Yeah I know that sounds like a platitude but there you have it...
YOU are the only person who can do anything for your life.... mind you we are here..so spruik away and we will listen...and probably argue with you but we are REAL.
We don't lie very well though
