Whoever decided this is the date for the first day of summer obviously didn't live in Houston. It's been brutally hot for a few weeks now and I'm already sick of it.
I went to the cardiologist this morning to get the results from all my tests last week. Stress test and echo cardiogram were normal, but the heart monitor I wore for 24 hours showed some abnormalities. There seems to be a problem with my heart's electrical conduction system but it's not really a big deal. The doctor said I'm on the cusp of needing a pacemaker, but added that I really just need to be monitored by a heart rhythm specialist for now. So that's my next stop. In the meantime, I'm to eat more salt and stay well hydrated, especially if I'm out in the heat. The only time I really am is walking the dogs in the morning and I'm trying to cut back, but it's not easy... short walks are boring walks. I'm going to start water aerobics tomorrow, which will help burn extra calories, so Glory is really the only one who will suffer. Too bad, so sad!
