sTaters and spatula ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenThe day after my Emergency Heart Procedure, I found it nearly impossible to take it easy and convalesce as I was stressed and worried about Jimmi Nuffin's disappointment in my lack of due diligence in meeting his expectations and wants. The net result of which was yet another lapse into AFib.
So, it was off to hospital once again where they decided to take the long way around the block rather than the easy-in easy-out methodology of Wednesday's visit. Instead it has been 12 hours of drug therapy - my arms look like some sort of public waterworks project with 3 IV hookups - in an attempt to get the ticker into rhythm. That didn't work, so this AM, I had another cardiovert.
So far so good but ... I'm still in the hospital for observation relative to a new med I'll be taking after my return to the outside world. This new med requires it to be first administered in a hospital / healthcare facility where 24 hour monitoring is possible.
I should be released tomorrow AM. I'll head home where, as I try to regain my strength and feel like something close to being human, I will once again set about stressing and worrying about my obligations to Jimmi Nuffin.
I certainly hope he's happy.
PS I feel like the glop on the spatula looks.

Are you eating that glop?
Hang in there, Mark!
Sh*t! All my best wishes. Hope you'll be on your feet again soon, but don't force it, the world needs you, ok?
Jeez Mark,take care please. Best wishes and make sure you only do what they tell you to do! We need your regular doses of motivation.
Mark, all the best wishes, I hope you will get well soon!!
Hey, Mark. I hope this most recent cardiovert "sticks". As I said before, I've never had one of those. I'm curious, though. Have they talked at all about catheter ablation or pulmonary ablation? They usually quote something like an 80% success rate, although I turned out to be in the other 20%. Bummer.
I have to tell you that I just saw a video on Henry Wessel. I'd heard of him, but didn't know anything about his style or philosophy. There are, of course, striking similarities between what he's done and what you do. I'm sure you know that. I have to say that I enjoyed listening to him. A very interesting man. I loved the part of the video when he talked about getting out of Rochester because of the "horrifying" weather in January. My kind of guy......
I feel really guilty…
NOT!!!
Hey… If weren't for my selfish wants and expectations, none of the Landscapists followers would have been aware of your situation. So I would think a "Thank You" is required here.
If I was a praying person, I'd say a prayer for you. As it is, you'll have to settle for my hope that you have a speedy recovery.
Blame your issues on someone who has an opinion. That's the hallmark of an a**hole.
I'll never bother with your self-inflated opinions again.
Mark,
Don't listen to Jimmi, we can wait... just not too long. Please take care and get back to your normal picture-making / picture posting self.
John
Mark please take care and do as they say. I had my heart problems in 99 and so far so good. We do need your expertise so get well soon.
Don't rush yourself on any account!! Take it easy and get well.
Will you stop doing that going to the hospital stuff.
Be well, big guy!
