Heart o’ Phos: Weak but never faint

Had an interesting revelation on my last doctors appointment, apparently my heart isn’t doing its job very well. I had attributed my sleepiness to general laziness, but there may be more to it than a flaw in my character. Tuesday they snake a tube into my aorta to take a look see and then we go from there. Should be a hoot, I love hospitals! To add to the fun and excitement Mrs. Phos is supposed to get her cast off the next day. Being she is from Mediterranean stock, We’ll have to use the hedge clippers to shave her leg. I know she is looking forward to getting the thing off and joining the rest of us bipedal types in our upright journey across the earth.

Foam is right, good thing that was caught early. Phos, the Docs do so many great fixes with the heart these days. Whatever they do will be a great improvement. Then the fun part...diet and exercise.

Glad Mrs. Phos' cast will finally be off.

hammer: Me too! Thanks!!

foam: Thanks. I hope I can be there to take pictures of Mrs. Phos's Frakenleg when the cast comes off. It should be pretty scary!

nanuk: I had one just last year. I have a CPAP, and they have it set pretty high, but in the words of Scotty, "I don't know if she can take much more of this Cap'n,"

leelee: What and what? Thanks, I do have to work on a life style change...

Hope things work out the way you want. You gotta take care of the ol' ticker.

With the cast coming off, you may be in for a bit of dancing soon.

Take care.
