Stronger than ever, Vicki Strawn says she is welcoming the New Year embracing all the lives big and little milestones.
Vicki Strawn used to struggle taking her dog Teddy outside.“Even doing that. Coming home after transplant was therapy just the little things like that,” Strawn said. “Relearning how to use your body again.”“I was a typical woman. I ignored the symptoms,” she said. “I didn’t pay attention to my body that was giving me pre-warnings, and I taught preschool so I thought I must be getting sick from that. I waited to long to go to the hospital which resulted in a lot of heart damage.
“I have to pinch myself just doing the little things, because I use to go into the tachycardia and I thought ‘Would this cause a problem? But no, I started to ride a stationary bike for seven miles,” she said.For her son, Nate Strawn, it is his mother’s strength he says he holds on too.
