Yesterday
Yesterday was HECTIC so, I didn’t get a chance to write about my little “adventures” so, today…you get the wrap-up.
My appointment was at 8:30, and of course, I ended up waking up at 8:21 am. And I contemplated if it was possible to get to Toledo in a matter of nine minutes, and decided against that. So, I called and thank God they had an opening at 10:00. I rushed down there, and while I was maybe a mile away from the hospital, I started to feel sick. I was on the phone with my friend John, and all of a sudden I felt light headed and dizzy. I pulled into the parking lot, and hurried along into the building all the time just saying to myself “Its okay, you are gonna be okay.” Not out loud mind you, I didn’t want to scare anyone. I asked to lay down as soon as I got there, and they accomodated me *Thank God* I don’t even know what happened, I just felt BLAH!
I saw Dr. Grubb’s nurse practioner…which…you know, she is very nice. But, I am a very complicated case *not to brag* but seriously, I am a mess! She prescribed me a new medication that hopefully won’t cause weight gain like the other one did because I am sick of being fat. I mean,I am not sumo wrestler big, but I just don’t like it. ANYWAYS, then my mom wanted me to ask them about why my heart rate has been so fast because last time I was there, my pacemaker was recording my heart going like 200+. So, the pacemaker techician hooked me up and printed me out another report with the same thing, my heart has been going 200. His response to that…”Well, you have a fast heart rate anyways.” Let me get this straight…I have a pacemaker because my heart STOPPED when I passed out…but my heart going 200 is normal. I don’t know how much crack he was smoking, but come on!
After that, I went to my dad’s gym and got some protein shake stuff for me to drink and he told me what all I should do to help get me back in shape. He is a personal trainer, so he knows his stuff. Went out to eat with him, got a really good salad!! Like, I am not one to throw a party over a salad, but this one was pretty scrumptious. Molly’s in Bedford…there’s some free advertising for them.
And the icing on the cake last night, to just top of the day…my younger sister was in a bad car accident. That was just a freaky sight to see her car all smashed up and her being strapped into a stretcher with a neckbrace on. I had to keep my cool *and balance* through that whole situation there. She is okay though, just bruised up.
Thats enough for now I believe. More fun updates later!!

Yesterday was hectic … and you were at 200 bpm. Could it be the scare you had on the way to the appointment caused the faster heart rate this time? Just a thought!
