So now that fall is definitely here, its time for me to get the cycle out and cruise. Should be some color out there somewhere.

Wellness Check Up
Well, finally got good word from Dr Wendt that my ecocardiogram looks good. The heart is strong and for me needs to be exercised. Which means in a nutshell that I can now get back on the treadmill each day for an hour to an hour and a half. But because I haven't been doing any type of physical activity since Aug 4th, I should start off slowly which I will do.
Yesterday I was a witness to an amazing scene of a tiny muscle that just kept pumping blood. I lay on the table and looked with the technician at my heart do its thing. I can't get over how that small organ can accomplish all that it does. I believe that helped me to see it in action.
When my defirilator shocked me for the second time, I went into a sort of anxiety mode for about 6 weeks. Had to start taking Atavan to help me sleep. When Jeanie uncovered the side effects of that drug, I decided not to attempt another renewal. That is one wicked drug. Beware of any anti-anxiety drug.
My yearly physical was a good report with the PSA (Prostate) being 1.4 which is a good number. It was down from 1.9 two years ago. So that was encouraging. My thyroid results were positive. My lipid readings were excellent except for triglycerides, which were high. No doubt from no exercize and too much sugar. So my assignment for the next 12 months is to exercise every day and get my weight from 210 to 180. That will also raise my hdl which is never high.
So today overall was just a wonderful day full of good news.
