Hi Kevin,
We are having beautiful weather here in the Pacific Northwest and I am feeling terrific. I throw off extra beats occasionally, but the quality of life for me is much better. I go in for my six months check up soon. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are doing. I am hoping you are able to do the things you enjoy. I see by the indicator on your page that you are not feeling great. I hope for the best for you. Take care and let me know how you are.

Hi Kevin, my husband and I are going away for a few days to see our three grandsons. I am feeling so great and wanted to say hi before I leave. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your beautiful family. We will be going to Sun Valley, Idaho, where we will bicycle, hike, and generally enjoy the outdoors. Our son and his family are there for the summer. I will contact you when I return. Take care!

Hi Kevin, I just read your post. Your cardio sounds very insensitive. Permanent a-fib is very debilitating in terms of making you feel tired, and all sorts of other symptoms. Several years ago my former cardio said to me, "Is this a big deal for you?" Well, yes it was a "big deal" for me. Sometimes they can be so unhelpful! Good luck tomorrow and let us know how you do.

Hi Kevin, I am doing very well. I am a very cheerful person. Thanks for noticing! I am happy now to be feeling better. I seem to be a-fib free and am hopeful about the future. How about you? I think of you now and then and wonder how things are going for you. We are so young, relatively, to not be feeling good. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
