- Had the 40th Saturday night...it was AWESOME! We had it in a bar on Harford Road in Bawlmer (that is Baltimore for those of you "outsiders"). We looked at the high school year book, saw how everyone looked with shoulder length hair, and then...
- Had a really nice experience on Friday...got to meet one of our gang in person! Paul and I met in Philadelphia at Steve's Prince of Cheesesteaks. I have exchanged posts with many of you on this website, and I thought it would be really nice to...
- Sorry I have to bother you guys with all this stuff, but I work with a bunch of 20 somethings, and when I tell them my age related problems, the response is always along the lines of "Shouldn't you expect that, being like 100?"So, the Army has a...
- Sometimes I guess we hear what we want to hear....today was my big day, getting 3 crowns for my teeth, as I am a sleep grinder and have ground my top teeth down pretty well, despite the use of a mouth guard. The bottom teeth were capped in the...
- Ah....Bordeaux! 22 WONDERDFUL days! Did have two little "episodes." One after I was laughing for like 5 minutes over a joke one of my fellow classmates made. The second was before a speech we had to make in front of the other students...you...
- So, In light of Paul's problem with his tooth...I went to the Dentist today, just one day before I leave for la belle France. So the dentist looked at my teeth and did one of those "Holy Crap!" things. He said "You have ground down your teeth...
- Well, The day finally arrived! My first PT test and weigh in since I went into afib in July of 2012. And I learned once again the hard lesson that no matter how much you do the recumbent bike and the elliptical, it isn't the same as pounding the...
- I think I have mentioned that I get an ectopic beat now and again. Of course it bugs me. Dr. Calkins indicated that ablation doesn't take care of these extra beats, but they aren't afib, so no real reason to worry...I have tried the magnesium...
- Ugh! Well, yesterday did my morning workout, which consisted of 90 minutes on the recumbent bike. I do this while reading the newspaper, so it is FAR from a real, sweaty, panting, groaning kind of thing (wait, what am I describing now?). So,...
- As some of you might remember from my past postings, I was lucky enough to get enrolled in the Cardiofocus Laser Balloon Ablation study conducted by Dr. Hugh Calkins at Johns Hopkins. 2 January 2013 I had my ablation, and today I had my 12 month...
- Don't know how many of you out there are lottery players...that winning Big Game ticket, for $189 million, was sold less than 4 miles from my house in Severn, Maryland. ACK! So close! But, as they say, a miss is as good as a mile...I am sure there...
- Geez, It seems that the nasty afib is trying to make a comeback...I was doing so well for about 4 months. Pulse in the high 70s, low 80s. Then Mom went into the hospital, and it may be her time to pass on. I pray not, but it doesn't look too...
- Well, The last time I did a Color Guard gig, before the Orioles game in July 2012, I wound up in an ambulance on the way to the emergency room...yesterday was my first day back in the saddle. We presented the National Colors before the Bowie...
- Fellow Sufferers, Well, I had HOPED to provide you with TONS of good information about my 90 day follow up...I was lucky enough to get signed up for the Laser Balloon Catheter study that is currently underway at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Hugh Calkins...
- Gang, I have very much enjoyed this support group...tons of very important information, especially from Petey. Wednesday, 2 Janauary 2013 I will be having the CardioFocus (laser balloon) ablation at Johns Hopkins. I was lucky enough to get into a...
