#452-My Heart, Fifth Time’s the Charm

Today, is Friday and is usually reserved for ‘Friday Fiction.’ But today is different since another emergency popped up in my life, hence I am writing about something that took place yesterday as you read this, or right on the correct day if you follow my Facebook writings.

It seems that just a few months ago, I received my third or fourth heart stent. I healed and then went into Cardio-Rehab. I was gently riding bicycles and rebuilding my stamina since early December of last year.

But then, something happened!

My monitors attached to my heart started sending out electronic smoke signals that something was amiss. The nurses watching over the classes, sent the doctor the info instantly and he looked into the subject deeper.

It turns out that I may need two more stents (this would be yesterday since I don’t know as I write this, what will happen) which will be five or six altogether.

Now, I will tell you right off the bat that I am NOT scared, or worried, since I have a great heart doctor. And I’m guessing that I will pull through this fine.

BUT (there always is one, you know) I will tell you that I am getting pretty darned depressed! I would add, almost clinically depressed. This is now three stents in three month and with rehab time involved (yet again) this may take a whole year for me to get better! I am tired and very depressed, but I enjoy writing and talking to all of you through my words and stories.

So, this may not be a long post, but it is a heartfelt (no pun intended) one. So, if you could keep your fingers crossed, I would be most appreciative, for I have tons of stuff to do book wise, and may be in two large plays this year, if I can hurry up and get better…

…so…keep happy thoughts and take care and I’ll be writing soon enough, for I can still do that without much strain on my ticker (plus, I’m writing a week ahead for now in case I just want to sleep for awhile).

Talk soon (or will write soon) enough!
