Avery went to a Book Fair at Amy’s workplace, so I spent the day at my office.  I found some Hershey bars in the crisper drawer!

It’s been established there are no mechanical issues with my heart.  Electrical issues are a possibility.  Monday, I have an appointment at the Park Nicollet Heart & Vascular Center to be fitted with a Holter Monitor.

These are desperate times.  I just ate the last Hershey bar.  Smeared with peanut butter, of course.  Good thing there are still plenty of apples, as those are the next best thing to smear with peanut butter.  The dock is out!

I have this vaguely shaky feeling, like I’ve had too much caffeine.  I’m thinking that is why I have not been interested in my coffee lately.  I’m waiting to hear if a highly recommended Internist will take me on as a new patient.  Failing that, I guess I should take whoever they give me.  Well, failing that, I instead decided to do a bit of research.  My first choice is not accepting new patients either.  What’s with this?!?!?!  My second choice is not only accepting new patients, but had a cancellation and thus an open appointment Thursday morning.

TechnoGym Wave:  34 minutes, 5.0 miles, HR=139.  It would seem Microsoft OfficeLive and LiveMesh are one and the same.  So, why two different names?

Early Mass.  We took Hanna to the 2008 Blessing of the Animals at the Basilica of Saint Mary.  An actual Mass, where everyone takes their animal.  Hanna snoozed on the pew during the service.  Some Guy took an awful lot of pictures of Hanna, so you might watch for her in the local media.  My Money file problem seems to be solved; I sure wish I knew what I did.

Avery spent the night.  We had pumpkin pie and popcorn for breakfast.  Rode our bikes to the park.  She left with Tim and I started in on office work and laundry.  Why is Microsoft Money Plus Premium not saving my transactions?  My first thought; I’m openning the wrong file.  Odd.

My Glucose this morning is 98.  When I recorded that in my software, I noticed it had been 144 at 8:15 am on 12/14/04.  There is a previous anomaly on record!  I did my usual business at the gym this morning without incident.

I made it to work.  My only issue at this point is my lack of interest in food.  Today we begin the great vegan experiment!  It’s October first, CobornsDelivers where are you?!?!?  I ate no animal products today, yet consumed 55 grams of protein.

I’ve managed to keep my oatmeal down, shower and remain upright this morning.  But, I’m still moving kinda slow.  I’m going to work from home today.  I’ve mastered lunch!  I think I’m good to go.  Though, I must admit, I’m surprised by how much I’ve slept today.

LuceLine West Out&Back:  74 minutes, 4.73 miles 3.8 mph, HR=142. I struggled this morning.  When I picked up the pace, my heart rate ramped up to 165 and I just couldn’t get it to settle down into the 140’s.  I tried four times before I gave up and walked.  When I got home, I had trouble in the shower.  I had to get out and lay on the floor for a while.  I had to sit on the stool to brush my teeth.  I checked my Glucose, expecting something in the 70’s when actually it was a never before seen 145!  BP:  90/61, 87/60, 97/62, 72/47, 74/47 and after lying on my bed and drinking a liter of water; 98/66.  My new Dell Precision M4400 has arrived!  It’s even bigger than my old Precision M70.  I thought I was OK, but I wasn’t.  I couldn’t even sit in my office chair, so I layed on the floor.  Tony drove me home.  I layed on the couch for a while and decided I would err on the side of caution and go to the hospital.  They put me on the monitor, did an EKG and an ultrasound of my heart.  My heart is fine.  They decided to give me fluids by I.V. while we waited for my blood work.  They proceeded to send me in to shock with the THREE tries it took to get the I.V. in.  Then I got oxygen too!  Blood draw had to wait for me to stabalize and they could get someone from the Lab with some different kind of needle.  My blood chemistry was so close to my last Mayo test.  There were two differences:  My Platelet Count was way down and my Glucose way up.  Diagnosis:  Orthostatic Hypotension. Same old, same old.  My take on it:  I think I was compromised by some sort of stomach bug.

Avery and I went mermaid hunting.  In the paddle boat!
