The making of the Unnamed Game

The Unnamed Game

My colleague and I decided to team up together to build a Unnamed game. Also, I want to share the experience with you because I believe it will help you when you design a game or idea. Jumping right in, he will focus on coding in Unity, and I will help with Art direction. Meanwhile, we don’t have a name for the game, hence Unnamed Game. However, we are gathering resources for…

"Yes, it is complicated, but with a positive outlook, relaxation techniques, such as meditation and Reiki, plus daily exercise, I am a survivor."

“I am a 16 yr survivor of a heart attack and I am a cardiovascular nurse. At 42, I had indigestion, not thinking of anything serious. After an hour of no relief from antacids, I went to the local ER. I was discharged, diagnosed with a hiatial hernia. Two weeks later, I had a similar event, went to another ER, discharged with “stress”. It wasn’t until I was at home in my garden that I got similar symptoms. Knowing that reproducibility of symptoms is a marker, I called a friend who is a cardiologist and was told to come to his office immediately.

My resting EKG was normal, but after a few minutes on the treadmill (stress echo) I had EKG changes. I went to the cath lab where I had an 80% stenosis of my LAD (left anterior descending artery). I was angioplastied and did well for a while. Five years later, I experienced right shoulder discomfort. I thought it was from my purse. Knowing that I have symptoms, I saw my cardiologist. This time, no heart attack, but I had a 99% tandem stenosis in my right coronary artery, and now have 3 stents. I exercise, eat well and know the signs to watch for. I am active in teaching heart health awareness in my community. I continue to work full time in the field of cardiovascular medicine.

Despite all of that, I am not immune to further heart attacks. To complicate this more, I have Lupus and recently had a kidney transplant with the complication of a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). Now I am on Coumadin for life. Yes, it is complicated, but with a positive outlook, relaxation techniques, such as meditation and Reiki, plus daily exercise, I am a survivor. I have applied twice for the WomenHeart program to be a speaker and attend their training symposium, but have never been selected. I have so much to tell about survival and how to live each day. Life and love conquer all obstacles. What I have learned is to give back. That is why I continue to teach, tell my story, talk to my patients and try to keep centered with survival. I have a very supportive husband and am well known in the medical community where I live and work. All of those factors are so important. Keep up the good work with this program.” Close
