Update on the Update

I'd meant to be back in action by now, but fate intervened. Without going into too much detail, I skipped the atrial ablation and went straight to a permanent pacemaker. It seemed my heart rate had beome so dangerously low (40-50) that it was actually "pausing" at times to the point where I felt dizzy and faint. I blame this on my underlying cardiac condition, the various meds designed to regulate heart rhythm, and, of course, the sight of Elon Musk giving the Nazi salute.

Other than some soreness since Friday's procedure, I am feeling so much better now that enough blood and oxygen are reaching my brain and other body parts. (Don't even get me started on my Kafkaesque journey  through the medical industrial complex!)

I just want to reassure everybody that I am still alive if not yet kicking. Above all, thanks to all of you for your kind well-wishes.

Needless to say, there is plenty to write about these days and I have plenty of ideas jelling around in my oxygen-rich brain.

Stay tuned, and thank you again for your support!

Blog Update

 Just a heeds-up to my readers that posts will be intermittent at best for the next little while. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and was hospitalized during Christmas week, put on meds and scheduled for a procedure called atrial ablation mid-month. I am feeling pretty good other than being very tired.

Please continue to submit comments if you feel so inclined. Or if you wish to contact me privately you can email me at herecomestrouble665@gmail. com.

Thanks for your patience. I hope to be back making trouble soon. Happy New Year to all!
