So i thought i would update my life after my family left...
Things really sucked for a week or so,then the days just kinda rolled together.
The end of June rolled around and i fell into a friends with benefits thing. Spent an awesome 3 days of naked fun which took a lot of the sting away.
Turns out i was a hit and have sent another 5 weekends together naked and having a blast.
Then it gets better
My annual checkup rolls around and health is awesome good blood pressure,cholesterol is still going down.I have a pain just below my ribs on my right side for the last 8 years or so.The Doc says that they have lots of staff so she books me in for a chest x ray and an EKG for a baseline seeing everything was in good ranges.
Make the appointment and get both done,go back to work, I get home and there is a message to see the Doc at 10 or 3 the next day.I had a meeting at 10,go to work and am freed up around 3 no answer at the Doc so i load the truck up and take a load to the dump when i get a call to come down.Well i am dirty and smell of diesel so i rush home to change 25 stairs to my bedroom from the drive way,forget my phone upstairs rush up and get it and off to the Doc.
Remember this is a small town.
So they hook me up the the EKG and freak out.They thought i had a massive heart attack,or was having one,or was about to have one.
Meanwhile i feel fine,have always felt fine and am kinda wondering what they have been smoking.
So i get medivaced to the hospital,spent 10 hour there getting tested to see if i had a heart attack. 5 blood tests for a heart attack and get monitored for 10 hours and everything was normal and no heart attack.
So it turns out i have a widow maker in my chest.I have to take it easy till i get fixed.It would have continued to go unnoticed because i am in good health.But any strenuous activity could be the last.
The Doc says i am so lucky because of a couple of fluks and timing and my own stress test before the last EKG that it was found.
I probably would have been that guy that just drops dead for no reason.
So despite the crappy start to my summer,i have a new lease on life.
I still don't have a family anymore,my daughter is still estranged from me.
But i will probably live long enough for her to get a chance to outgrow her thoughts of how mean and angry i was.
It's been kind of surreal.My livelihood is my physical health.I make my living in the winter delivering heating fuel.So i asked the Doc to advocate for me to get me in and fixed as soon as possible.My work starts in Oct and i have never had backup.This would have been year 23 without missing a delivery in 23 years i have been the only one to deliver fuel for my business.
That streak is over.But life is good when you are alive.
I like this post much better than the previous ones.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop, and please keep the updates coming.
