Jackie and Bradie

radie recently alerted me to a new medical issue before it happened. She had been alerting me the entire day, but I wasn’t having any of my usual episodes and we couldn’t figure out why she was doing it.

As it turned out, Bradie had been alerting me to bradycardia, an issue I have never had before. Somehow, this clever girl figured out that something was wrong all by herself. Honestly, I do not know where I would be without Bradie.

I can never go back to the life I had before my illness, but she has given me security, independence, and the hope that I can forge a new path to achieve my goals, not just give up on them.
