I've been working nearly full time for over a month, mostly in NYC. The commute is punishing (minimum 2 hours each way on two trains). It's really too much for me. Over the last six weeks of so I've had three events. These events occur at night. They consist of severe leg cramps, frequent urination, general weakness, dehydration (I try to drink as much as possible), and maybe some AFIB (or maybe its just PAC's and PVC's). These events correspond to particularly demanding days and are followed by 1-2 days of exhaustion. I try to stay as hydrated as possible, one can only drink so much. If I can't go to the gym, I do about 15 minutes of floor exercises in the morning before going to work.

It's apparent that I can't keep this up. I was doing fine working 2-3 days a week in the data centers in New Jersey (driving, no public transportation). But doing NYC is just too much. I talked this over with my colleagues and we are eliminating NYC from my duties, except on rare occasions, and then only one day at a time. I'm returning to a 2-3 day routine in New Jersey. If that doesn't work out, I'm going to have to give up working. I'll be 66 in August, maybe its time.

I think I should take a page out of Carrie's book and adjust my work life to accommodate my physical limitations ... thanks Carrie, you're a good example for me.

I see my new EP on May 18, I still have the Reveal LINQ imbedded in my chest. Maybe it will reveal something interesting. I don't take any cardiac meds, only a little blood pressure pill (Norvasc), the Eliquis and the thyroid suppression.
