.....no.....I'm not speaking lightly of serious issues.
If it sounds that way....it's 'cause it's how I deal.

I have an appointment with GP this morning to start the ball back in motion regarding my heart health issues.
Structurally....as of about two yrs ago...my heart was still OK.

Didn't find out 'til a few months ago that doesn-t mean the " electrical" problems I was having with it couldn't kill me.
And don'k know the extent of any damage done by starvation...

Have been told based on blood work and EKG that I have a high likelyhood of a cardiac " event"....... and reinformed repeatedly by my body.

I'm extremely anxious about this appointment...
Not from fear of what knowledge I might gain finally persuing this again..
But because this is the one issue I won't be able to put off once it's " out there" with my family.

I'm outing myself here on this, 'cause I SOOOOO want to skip this appointment....
I can't because then I'll have been a hypocrite with my friends here...
Especially Mike.

Sooo...if you see me still on around 9:30 my time....give me a kick in the butt to get goin'...would ya?

Hugs...jc

After 2 heart attacks, six stents, and a double bypass!!!! Let me tell you there is NOTHING worse than waking up in the middle of the night with and elephant on your chest and pain shooting down your arms and hoping you have time to make it to the ER or the ambulance to arrive!!! Just my little personal experience iffin this helps!!! Please go see your doc and let everyone know because you never know when you will need to rely on someone
Best healing wishes
