Heart Felt

Looked at my heart today.
Man oh man. 3-D imaging, sonar, stress test, sitting test, the whole package of what amazing people can do for you. Have you seen the new 3-D X-Ray imaging technology? Wow.
Atrial Fibrillation. It's what I've got.
That's what the experts call my irregular heartbeat. Atrial Fibrillation.
Why is it irregular? Why is my heart not beating like it usually does?
Likely the same viral infection that caused a stomach full of ulcers three weeks ago has also triggered the electronic reaction in my heart. Did I pick it up in the ocean. Could have, but this type of virus is EVERYWHERE.
How about you, how do you feel? What are you doing for your heart, today?
"Oh, yeah, I feel fine."
Dads.
Do you feel fine, really?
Come on dads. They're looking up at you, now. They need to be able to look up to you for a long time, dads.
Your children.
Your family.
They need your health. They need your healthy diet, your healthy choices. They need your heart to be healthy, dads.
We're looking at my heart today, the doc and I, and the doc says, "Your heart is healthy, you have the heart of a young man."
Damn right.
Now, if we can just get it to stop fibrillating!
Blood thinners for two weeks, and then it's the 'paddles.' "CLEAR!" WHAM!
Here's to your healthy hearts, dads.
