I went and had my pacemaker checked on Tuesday and the new cardio clinic at the University of Toledo medical center is really nice! I mean, I still had to wait 400 years to be seen, but still, its very nice looking. Anyways, the technician told me he had good news and bad news and it was that I have 15 months left on the pacemaker. So I am in the good and bad zone. Next year will most likely be when I get the new pacemaker.
I felt all wonky afterward which is understandable considering I just sit there while my heart is slowed down and sped up.
Its funny whenever I get my pacer check because then it does make me think that I have that little box in there. I mean, just the night before I was at the Filmore in Detroit seeing a Plain White Ts and Snow Patrol concert. I was screaming my head off, singing loud to the songs and indulging in the adult beverages that were offered. It just makes me happy that I can still do things I love.
Also, this week is National Invisible Illness Awareness week. In order to raise awareness for Dysautonomia, we are wearing blue ribbons to help raise awareness for this fun filled condition that we all enjoy having (OOZING with sarcasm) My wonderful coworkers are wearing them at the Ellis Library and I of course am sporting one too. If you stop in, please don’t be shy about asking about them! I am more than happy to let you know about what I have.
Ta-ta for now!
