In a Heart Beat
Definitely have one that isn't beating in normal rhythm. Who knew? No signs what so ever. Maybe shortness of breath on some of my treks but always figured that was do to the extra poundage on my 5 foot 3 inch frame. Hell one would think I wouldn't have been able to do the Half Dome trek if I got that winded. Honestly, THAT didn't stop me, snow on top and rangers saying no to the final ascent prevented the final climb. So wearing a heart monitor for 24 hours. Return it to the Dr's this afternoon. Only thing I've exerted energy doing is climbing 3 flights of stairs up and down while doing laundry this morning. Otherwise a lounge lizard since seeing the cardiologist at 2pm yesterday. Watching the tube, emailing, eating and finishing Dick Cavett's "Talk Show". At least the BP was down to a normal reading. I'll surmise prognosis will depend on stress test and echocardiogram results. Both taking place next Thursday. And so it goes. Until I hear what is what I'll not fret. Of course the companionship of chocolate is helping.
