    My Disappearance!

    Woke up at 2am with my heart racing. I've had atrial fibrillation in the past, so I knew what was going on. Put my polar heart rate monitor on and this was the result.


    So I woke my wife up and told her that we had to go to the er and I've been here in the ICU all day and will be here until it straightens out, hopefully on its own, if not, then they might have to try to shock it into sinus rhythm.

    It would really be nice if the damn place could get the tv's in the rooms working.
    This is on every channel.

    Good old Army Medical Center.

    Sorry! Better an interruption in the TV signal and the heart working than the other way around, though!
    Y'ALL MEANS ALL.

    Well, did you?
    Check the connections, that is?
    Or contact your service provider to restore service? No matter that the service provider there at the hospital is not YOUR service provider, you have to contact YOUR service provider. That's what the instructions said, and like a good old Solder, you follow instructions.
    Right?
    Hope you feel and get better soon.

    My guess is that they didn't pay the cable bill. Obamacare probably doesn't allow sophisticated technology like working televisions.

    Hell, here at the Army Medical Center, they had to transport me to Metroplex for an ECG. This place has gone downhill since my last episode.

    Most of the ER staff and all of ICU and of course, the pharmacy have been absolutely fantastic.

    When I found out that there's no cardiologist here anymore, I thought they would have sent me to a hospital that has one.

    Get well soon Rick. Be through this myself a time or two.

    thoughts and prayers your way.




    TEXAS has a balanced budget.

    Hope everything is fine Rick.
    No cardiologist at Darnall anymore?
    Everyone note that - us old farts better make a plan to get to S&W or Seton if the need arises.
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
