Surly's Soap Box

Health Update!
Well, I didn't have a heart attack. I had 2/3rds of a heart attack. Or a near heart attack. Best explanation I got was that I got to the hospital in time and the nitroglycerin stopped whatever was going on. After extensive testing, they determined that my heart is in good shape, my cholesterol and triglycerides where all good. Other than my deadly high blood pressure, my (decreasing) girth, and the lump on my noggin, I'm pretty healthy. In fact, healthier than I ought to be.

Just a hint: Clutching your chest while mowing the lawn is not a good way to motivate your wife, who is totally stressed about your health as it is, to get you a beer. Unless you want it delivered at 80 mph. Fortunately, it was cold, so I could press it on the goose egg while waiting for the carbonation to settle down before opening.


Thanks for your prayers and good thoughts.

I think I missed the part in the story where you got the lump on the head. Was it from your wife throwing the beer at you, or from that collision with the environmental wackos?

I'm glad that you didn't have a heart attack, Dave. I hope your attempts at a healthier lifestyle pay off. I'm worried for my father (whose in his mid 60s) and know that I need to make some sustained changes if I'm going to be healthy in my middle age years.
