Heart Update

I had a few people let me know that I was overdue to give everyone an update on my heart. If you haven't ever heard the story you can go here and read about how I realized there was a problem.

The latest news is that I am still on all of my medications. In a few weeks I will wear a heart monitor for a week and my doctor will get to see exactly what my heart has been doing and if I don't have any episodes where I go out of rhythm we will start to decrease my medications. I am really hoping this goes well. (last time I failed it, so cross your fingers) The good news is that for the most part I feel great! I have been going to the gym a few times a week and I have been able to run a mile about 3 times a week!!!!!! Yep you read right I have tried running! Granted it is a very slow mile, but it feels good to be back on the treadmill.

I was feeling very confident about my heart and so Joe and I even started an intramural coed basketball team with his brothers and sister Cheri, and another family from Burley. I only played a few minutes before I couldn't breathe, and my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I don't think more basketball will be in my near future.

I am still not in the clear, so please keep praying for my heart!

Rich RIP

Growing up I must admit that I was in love with boy bands, any boy band would make my heart sing. You might might remember LFO for "Summer Girls" I know you are trying to figure out what song that is, let me help you.

"New kids on the block had a bunch of hits Chinese food makes me sick and I think its fly when girls stop by for the summer, the summer. I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch..."

Today I was flipping through US magazine and found out that Rich died from Leukemia earlier this month. I once went to an LFO concert and I got to sit on the front row. Good times. RIP Rich
