A couple of weeks
ago my heart began showing occasional irregular beats. My ignore-it-and-maybe-it-will-go-away
approach hasn't worked, so today I checked in with my cardiologist in
Spartanburg SC for an EKG and some blood work.
They outfitted me with a heart monitor to be worn 24/7 for 30 days. I'm all wired up and lugging around a pocket
monitor that's way too big for any of my pockets. I must admit, I'm kind of worried about my
misbehavin' achy breaky heart. If it
goes back into atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), there's little that can be done
because the docs already used the "big guns" last year when I had open heart surgery to
repair the mitral valve and a Cox Maize
III ablation to curtail the A-Fib. I'd
like my heart more if it would stay in sync
and stop marching to an off-beat drummer.

Dang that drummer! I'll make him go get some music lessons! Seriously though, I'm sending tons of positive energy & love your way Peggy.
