Updated, Uplifted, Up!

Well, Here we are in July. I can now report that I am fully recovered. No pain, MUCH more energy than I had before this whole mess started, and I feel qualified to preach that you should have a physical..Even if you are sure you don't need one. You see, I didn't know I had any problem and had I not gone to my Doc for a check up (because I was 50 remember and that's what you are supposed to do at that age), I might be gone now. I have no doubt that I would have done my normal activity that I do in the summer, teaching motorcycling, running around with Cassidy, ect. At some point my heart would have crapped out. I'm very lucky indeed.

I have to go back for an echocardiogram this month, but I am sure it's gonna look fine. The heart rate is still around 100 beats a minute, but I feel great! I'm probably 20 years younger in the energy department, and even my thought process is clearer. I might even be able to convince the Dr that I don't need to take any more medicine, but that's probably hoping for a lot. I give him a hard time, but he likes it.

So again, I will urge you to GET A PHYSICAL! It can't hurt and just might save your life.
