Heart Attack, Shmeart Attack

So I went to the doctor and…hold on I have a joke…


"I'm so worried" the patient said as the nurse prepped him for surgery “Last week, I read about a man who was in the hospital because of heart trouble, and he died of pneumonia!" "Relax," the nurse said smiling. "This is a first-rate hospital. When we treat someone for heart trouble, he dies of heart trouble."


Anyway, I met with a cardiologist on Friday and after some poking, prodding and paperwork, the Doctor thinks that I have an irregular heart beat…yeah, no sh*t doc, why else am I here?! He speculates that my shortness of breath could be caused by fluid leaking into my lungs due to blockage of flow through and around my heart. Nothing is consequential yet, I am still waiting for the test results. I am going back into the gym this week; I have to get back on the horse or whatever. I have gained a ton of weight back over the last two weeks and I really hate the feeling of sliding down a slippery slope of lethargy and into a shirt-that-barley-looks-like-it-fits-when-I’m-standing-and-definitely-is-too-small-when-I-sit-down kind of wardrobe. My trouser top button is holding on like Vince Vaughn on the gymnastic rings via Old School “Still holding…STILL HOLDING!”

More to come...

  1. I'm glad we have admitted that it is your fault your shirts aren't fitting and it's not my lack of ability to do laundry properly. Whew! I have been so worried.
