Today is the 22 of June 2016 and its been about 6 weeks since I had my heart looked at and the results are better than I expected. Going in I hoped to have my medications adjusted to relieve my chest pains. Coming out, well I’m never going to be young again but I can work comfortably in the south Georgia summer heat.
Two weeks out from the surgery I over did it a bit with a motorcycle trip to Camilla, GA to pick up a whip antenna. On the way home I began to realize that I’d bitten off more than I could chew and when I laid my head down for the night I knew it was going to be an interesting night. Lynn woke me up from a nightmare, I was dreaming of a fat man sitting on my chest. Waking up and changing position relieved the symptoms and my heart settled back into its normal rhythm. At my 3 week check up the good Doctor added a beta blocker to my medication list and that’s done the trick for me.
I still sleep at least 10 hours a night and I take an afternoon nap. Any outdoor work is accomplished before noon. I can live this way.
