Short and sweet.

I invited my son and his girlfriend of three plus years to move back into the house because, they would someday like to buy a house and can't save money paying more than $1,000 a month plus utilities on a tiny appartment.

2. My brother had a serious heart attack some weeks ago but, he got to the hospital quick enough and has made a full recovery.

3. My wife was in the hospital over the weekend because of a low heartrate and is now on a monitor for two weeks.

4. i biked alomost 10 miles a couple weeks ago.

5. we've had some rain.

1. Don't know how anyone can save anything these days on a regular person's income unless they can do something like this-- 'hope it will work out well.
2. Glad he recovered-- did he get to avoid surgery?
3. Oh no-- I hear a lot about elevated heart rate, but not this. What's the cause? My sister had a heart monitor that you sort of had to glue on, but it didn't stick properly and then kind of tore up her skin. Not like the old halter monitors.
4. Wow where to?
5. Rain is good. Unless it's too much then it's not good.

2. He had an immediate angioplasty (sp?) is that surgery these days?

3. they are thinking sleep apnea. She snores like, like, i can't sleep next to her. didn't think that meant apnea.
The monitor is a little sticky thing and they give you a cell phone to go with it.

4. Just around the old haunts; the neighborhood.

5. Yes.

6 i was at my doctor for something else and told him about my brother and he suggested an MRI to check my heart for calcium deposits. On whatever scale, under 100 is good, over 400 is concern. I got the online results..a big fat 0!
But also, i have a cyst on my liver. There is a statement; "Is heart normal size" No. and there is fluid around my heart. So waiting days for him to follow up. What kind of cyst. Heart NO! WTF? Fluid, how much?

So, what did my 10 mile bike ride mean?

I think snoring is a classic symptom of sleep apnea, at least some kinds of snoring.

Maybe it means... you're in good shape, and there's too much checking?

[joebanks]

That's what they want me to believe; somethings wrong somewhere!

[rafqa]

You think there's something wrong somewhere, or they do?

Actually i feel quite well. Just being my pessistic self; if i'm not goimg to die by a bad heart, it narrows the list. Fightinng genetics, i don't want to have what my mother had and i feel like i got most her her genes as it is.

I once heard that somewhere in Jewish tradition it was said dying in your sleep was a sign of God's favor or something. Honestly, dying of a heart attack seems like the best option out there.

[joebanks]

I'm sorry but if the best a God could do for my mother was letting her die in her sleep, i'm not much impressed.

[rafqa]

Agreed. Definitely.
