I have been stuck in the hospital for a few days and hope to get out
tomorrow. I had contacted doctor because I was having some issues, but
he is not seeing patients. He referred me to a cardiologist and sent me
for blood work and EKG.

When they did the EKG they would not let me drive him. My pulse was 186.
I went to the ER and the held me there until there was a room in the
cardiac unit. They worked to bring down the heart rate but when it
refuse to cooperate they opted for cardiac inversion. I first had to go
through an eosophical cardio echogram and that meant fasting.


Not a pleasant procedure to get that down, but I was frozen and well
sedated. once they determined there was no risk of clots they pulled out
the scope, knocked me out with with the crdiologist clled his Michael
Jackson drug. The idea was to shock my heart stop it and then another
shock to restart it at a normal rhythm. They tried three times....
so...another day of intervenous drugs and now I am on pills and plan o
be home tomorrow.

It looks like I will have to learn to live with congestive heart failure.
