Weekend Report (Plus Monday)

*Sigh*

Sorry for missing a day. I know I promised to keep up with my blog. It was just an up-and-down weekend and I'm having to weigh what I can talk about as not all of it involves me.

But here's the part that does:

I had another bout of A-Fib this past weekend. It was 3:05 a.m. on Sunday morning when I woke to go to the bathroom. The fibby set in and wouldn't let me get back to sleep. My lovely wife stayed up with me and listened to my heartbeat try to thump back into normal for about an hour, then I was fine.

I know what caused it. Up late again. We had gone to a bar and I ate something fried followed by three large 7Ups. I didn't realize 7Up was just as bad as regular carmel-colored soda, but I guess it is. Gah.

Monday, however, was much better. I ate well (read: properly) and I had a nice 40-minute brisk walk covering a mile and a half. That gave me a natural high I was riding on for awhile.

Tuesday morning now. I woke slowly but with a bit of an 'up' heartbeat, but I think I'm doing okay. I just need more days like Monday.

And how often does someone say that?
