Defib Number Three

Yesterday, my old buddy Rob married his girlfriend Olga after a ten year courtship, at least seven of those years living together. 

They had a very nice small ceremony out at their house starting a 4PM. I helped to get a lady in a wheel chair up on the deck and had a really good dizzy spell once we got her settled. I was bracing for a jolt from my defibrillator. Rob's brother Doug saw me kind of weaving and asked if I was okay. The dizzy spell passed without a shock, which was good.

Fast forward 12 hours to 4:10 this morning when I was jolted awake by the difib. I had been asleep...at least mostly asleep when it happened, so I don't know if there was a dizzy spell prior to the shocking event.

I did not sleep very well due to the huge amount of food I consumed. I'm still not hungary.

That is now three shocks I have gotten and the first from the new unit they installed a few weeks back. I sat next to my home monitor after I got up and downloaded whatever info was there to download. 

I called in to my Cardiologists office and am awaiting a call back if they come up with anything I need to know.

In the meantime, they don't need to see me and we are heading to church to pray for my heart.
