This is such a good description of this disease; so well said in just fifteen words. I commend you for saying so much with so few words, and I wish you the best in the contest.

You right since everything was so well stated I gave a suggestion
Comment from Jeanie Mercer
This attracted my interest because I also have congestive heart failure (I see this is biographical). I hope you do well. I have lived with it for quite some time, so don't give up hope. Good luck to you in the contest. Love, Jeanie Mercer

Jeanie: thank so much for reading. Sorry to hear about your CHF. I know one lady who had it for seven years. There are four stages (or so I've read) and I seem to be in the second stage after a year or so. There are three other ladies in my church dealing with CHF. Every Sunday we see each other and our greeting is, "Hey, I'm still standing!" It is one of those little things which keep us going! I'm functioning with only one, partially clogged, coronary artery. They tell me there is nothing more they can do for me. I'm had coronary heart disease for 18 years. But, new meds come out every year so, here I stand! I am tired all the time and have difficulty catching my breath but putz around every day, still standing!

My mother had CHF, too, and she lived to be 94 years old! So I figure it's possible to live quite awhile. I've had 3 big heart attacks, pacemaker/defibrillator, valve repair, on oxygen full time. I haul my little portable oxygen with me to church, out to eat with my husband, grocery store, and to that essential of all essentials: the beauty shop. I even drive some easy places sometimes, if it's early enough in the day. So even if these old gray mares ain't what they used to be, they still can function! Blessings on you.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly. You deliver a powerful analogy with your well chosen words as it is like a sinking feeling. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you for sharing it.

Perfect way to describe a fatal illness, "a sinking ship"..."the Titanic all over again".
The words leave no room for wondering what this is about. How sad. Keep up the good work!
