My Heart Monitor Arrived Today
I hadn't said anything because I didn't really know but at different appointments I had last week my heart beat was slow, so slow I couldn't get my injections done in my knees!! He didn't want to take any chance!! So off I go to a heart doctor referred by my PCP and my appointment came up really fast, sorta scared me not knowing what a slow heart beat really meant!!!
I'm hooked up y'all and being monitored for four days then a battery of test including a final echo test then I get the news hopefully of what the problem is or was!! I wore one many years ago while I was still on active duty and this one is entirely different from the old days!!! I feel I got so many things wrong with this body in 71 years I just hope the answers can be found!!
I still got one bullet somewhere near my spine and intestines, crushed disks, arthritis, high blood pressure and a host of other aliments I had all my life!! My last years on active duty my permanent profile said No running, marching, standing, stooping, jumping or standing in formations in the sun!
That alone kept me from being promoted any farther so I had no choice but to retire with 22 years of service and now I'm 100% PTSD DECLARED by the VA since 2010!! I feel I was since I returned from Vietnam and three wives later!! So I have had a good military career and I'm alive so no complaints just can't do much of anything anymore for any length of time!!
The basic reason I only stayed at Walmart for three years doing a good job on my scooter as a greeter! I would love to be physically able to work but this ole body has retired now so I'm not pushing myself any farther while I stay closer to my God to look after me and my wife, kids, grand kids and the great grands too!! I may even have a couple of great, great grands since my only son started at age 15 with two girls and they both had two little girls!!
My last Blog was about what those daughters will tell their moms and dads too!! Those sons will say to you they don't know if it's their child when they know without a doubt they were having sex with that girl!!! Oh well that's life in the fast lanes and it's still happening today around the world!!! Generations will continue to flourish long after we are gone and it's what God wanted us to do!!!!
