My Achy Breaky Heart

Hey there, whomever might still be reading my long-ago-but-not-forgotten-blog!  How goes life? 

Things have been up & down for me, but for the most part, I'm a-okay.  Well, except for my heart.  It is still being inappropriate.  Now it will either speed up over 100 bpm or slow down to around 40 bpm.  Either way, both result in me not feeling well, very different types of chest pains depending on whether or not it's speeding up or slowing down, and a lot of dizzy spells, blurred vision.... fun times.  (note: sarcasm) 

Just sent back the wonderful (note: sarcasm) heart monitor I was wearing for the last two weeks, let's hope there's some more conclusive results that will help troubleshoot these symptoms! 

In other news, I'm hoping to start playing the guitar, ukulele, and piano much more... yay!  I wouldn't mind going dancing again either, man do I miss dancing!, but I need to get my heart under better control first - two of the side effects of IST that make anything challenging are excessive sweating since the heart's going so fast, and exercise intolerance.  Being all gross & super sweaty on the dance floor is one thing if you've been dancing all night long, but having to stop half way through one song because I'm exhausted & sweaty - not cool. 

I go back and forth about blogging more here - for a while I used this as a brain dump, almost every day!  Then I stopped writing here altogether.  Now it's just a "I haven't forgotten" type of thing, my focus has been on Tid Bits of Inspiration.  But I miss writing about normal stuff.  I miss posting pictures of amazingly expensive shoes and dreaming of wearing them!  *grin* 

Hmmmm......
