This is funny

I just found a small portable recorder that I thought I had lost. Put some batteries into it and played back my last recording. It was made while I was in the hospital waiting for my original implant. The conversation was with the cardiologist and started with my asking him questions about the surgery. He felt that the initial part of the surgery would be easy given my physical condition and being relatively thin. They he got into his concern about finding a place on my heart wall that would respond to the pacer. Because of my high cholesterol which I had for many years he felt that my heart wall would have considerable damage from mini heart attacks that I hadn't noticed. We got into quite a discussion about my risk factors and I went after him on his statistics.

At one point I told him I would talk over the whole issue after I had the pacer and was more with it. Listening to my interchange today the thing that started me laughing was that during the the whole thing my HR was 26-30 and I don't sound like I am having trouble thinking or worried.

Somewhere along the way I will clean up the audio quality and maybe post it on my web site so you can get a different perspective of frank at work.

Don't you love to find 'stuff' like that? Something you have not seen or/nor heard of in years re-appears & most time 'it' makes me laugh. Better than meds ~ ~

It will be interesting to hear this conversation back when ~ ~

Hi Frank,
That would have been so funny to listen to..I know I was talking a lot of the time and I think I was with it most of the time..just a brief moment before he hooked it up I seemed to go a bit strange ...the moment the new one was hooked up I felt a great rush of energy through my body and have felt soo good ever since!!!
Hope you can let us listen to you sometime..should be interesting....(I was really worried I would swear or say something I shouldnt..lol)
My cardiologist is still talking to me so I must have been a good girl!!
Take care
Regards,Kay
