Sex after 50

 

1. Hey, Wondered why you were AWOL for awhile. Health never occurred to me tho.
   Hope all is ok now.  Sorry to learn you were ill.  Surgery?

2. No surgery. Another apparently false alarm. Heart was ‘acting up’. As in defibrillating, or at least that’s how it felt.

   Third time in the last five or six years. This time they kept me for extensive tests/observation. Four days. Longest I’ve ever been in a hospital. But the ticker passed all the tests. Just seems to screw up at home and in the ER. I show up in the ER in obvious distress according to the ER staff and the EKG. Weird. I might also say the nitroglycerin tastes really bad.

   Then my doc decided I needed a week’s rest to forestall a repeat ‘attack’. They think it was anxiety/panic. Don’t recall being anxious or panicky, but what do I know? They can’t find an organic problem. I did a stress test AND and echocardiogram this time. Nothing. Passed both. And yes, I did the actual stress test, not the chemical one. Went the full distance too. Shocked them, as I’m considered overweight, if not obese. But I’ve been walking for a living for over twenty years.

   Been released to normal activities.

   Back at work slogging through the snow. Today I was told by one of my customers that I made the evening news yesterday. They took video of me delivering mail on their street for the evening weather report. I didn’t see it. I remember seeing a news van parked a half-block away, but just figured they were on lunch break. Didn’t see any reporters or cameramen out so they must have filmed me from inside the van.

   So, as for being ok? Who knows? The docs don’t.
