Wired

Well it finally happened, I got wired. For those of you who don't know I have been having extra strong beats in my heart rythm. I visited Dr.Vasilchek and she gave me an ekg in the office. It revealed that I was in normal sinus rythm. I also got the usual blood test that revealed my hemoglobin a1c is 6.6 and they want it to be 6.5. Almost there. My blood sugar was 170 and they wish it were 150, which is do able. Next came the appointment for a heart monitor to be worn for 24 hours. After they shaved part of my chest ( I looked like the guy from 40 year old virgin) and attached the sticky things which are hooked by wire to a monitor that I wore around my neck like a cow bell. Off I went for a day. I did want the palpitations to happen so I tried to make them do it. I was wildly successful. I ate a late supper (10pm)l and had 3 diet cokes with caffene. Sure enough about 12:ooam they hit. 22 the first hour, 13 the next, then 12, and 12 again, an 8 I don't remember any more. All toll I had 62 hits from midnight until 6am when I finally went to sleep. Now I won't get any news until late this coming week on first of the week after. If its something I can take it and if not then we better find out just what caused this mess. Oh the picture is a blurry vision of Shawn and Tiffany's Wedding.
In other news Tim is in Tacoma,WA and not having a good time. He and Eliz are having a problem. He is considering joining the Army to become an Information Tech. Grandad has his expanded Comcast channels and is like a kid in a candy store. Susuan had to show him how to get on demand movies which he loved. She is a real trooper because to teach a blind guy with no patience how to operate a clicker is simply beyond belief. I have an electric recliner which is an early Mrs. Claus present. Mike is working 30+ hours per week, going to Ivy tech, and doing work as a Lawrence Police Cadet in his spare time. Oh and keep quiet about it but my Sue is thinking about retiring at the end of this year. Tiffany was here today and her baby is 8 or 9 lbs now and she is 37 weeks along, so she can go any time. She is the nicest person ever, if you can believe this she actually can get along with my ex-wife Medusa. She is the only person alive I know who can do that. Pat just finished up with the FFA Convention. He reports that at the auction he bought a bundle of tools that include a hoe, spade, and bush rake( what ever that is) and some other stuff. Thats all for now see ya later.
