    Me..a pair of raised eyebrows indicating "please go on"
    Doc..did you play a lot of sports when you were younger
    Me.."what do you mean younger I still do"

    They take me off treadmill and straight into ultrasound
    Had a left handed junior doctor trying to hold the ultra scope thingy and use the keyboard with his right hand
    He had 4 doctors in to look at my heart culminating in a senior Cardio who just looked and kept saying " yes yes beautiful Aortas beautiful"
    My fucking Aortas were packing their bags ready to leave with the smooth bastard.

    It was an unusual experience but I've had a a laugh over it many times since.

    Hope you get a laugh out of that Hitch.

    You'll be fine.



    Talking of stress test. Came home to find an appointment for one on the 15th July! and says to take someone with me. I am glad though I have lost a good bit of weight since my last one, but trying to run when you are on betablockers is a tough gig.

    What was the outcome of your experience?

      start a new coaching gig on monday, hve to get a test before hand, 2/3rds of the testing sites(80% were free tests) are now closed here in dallas. They will be back online middle of next week. only places doing free ones are two pharmacy chains and then all the private urgent care and clinics which i paid $150 for. thats one way of reducing the figures, purely coincidental i'm sure

                Arteries were fine..the doc who did the angio had no other info other than that. Apparently during a stress test he was saying about 15% of people go into a left bundle block.
                Angio itself was grand , they give you a mild sedative so no discomfort.
                You go through so many stages before you get to Angio and frustratingly answer the same questions over and over but there is no sum up at the end. He just said go back to your GP, could be your lungs.
                The reason I went in was had difficulty getting a breath with bad headache and pulse was erratic (happened twice before)
                ECG had anomaly so they had a concern.

                My family and I have autoimmune problems too so it could be related to that.
                Sister has a gene that is so rare she is the only documented person in Europe to have it. Her doctors were all excited about it (cant say she was too enamored with the situation!)
                Cant remember the name of it (letter and number)

                I was thinking that if you have a gene that rare that screws you up surely there should be some compensatory super powers
                Come to think of it I have developed a fondness for black masks and an urge to fight crime!


                Hope all goes well for you Mrs FD

                  Update on this, the daily figures just released for texas. It is a big place but

                    Don't mess with Texas, I feel a bar of this is warranted:

                      This is good because it's true . 1 minute read if you match the intended frenetic pace of the writer

                      Dear Diary June 30th 2020 Edition:
                      In January, Australia caught on fire. I don’t even know if that fire was put out, because we straight up almost went to war with Iran. We might actually still be almost at war with them. I don’t know, because Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt spoke to one another at an awards show and everyone flipped out, but then Netflix released Cheers and everyone fell in love with Jerry, but then there was thing happening in China, then Prince Harry and Megan peaced out of the Royal family, and there was the whole impeachment trial, and then corona virus showed up in the US “officially,” but then Kobe died and UK peaced out of the European Union. And someone had a great idea to stand up all the brooms which is really how all of this might have started.
                      In February, Iowa crapped itself with the caucus results and the president was acquitted and the Speaker of the House took ten years to rip up a speech, but then WHO decided to give this virus a name COVID-19, which confused some really important people in charge of, like, our lives, into thinking there were 18 other versions before it, but then Harvey Weinstein was found guilty, and Americans started asking if Corona beer was safe to drink, and everyone on Facebook became a doctor who just knew the flu like killed way more people than COVID 1 through 18.
                      In March, shit hit the fan. Warren dropped out of the presidential race and Sanders was like Bernie or bust, but then Italy shut its whole ass down, and then COVID Not 1 through 18 officially become what everyone already realized, a pandemic and then a nationwide state of emergency was declared in US, but it didn’t really change anything, so everyone was confused or thought it was still just a flu, but then COVID Not 18 was like ya’ll not taking me seriously? I’m gonna infect the one celebrity everyone loves and totally infected Tom Hanks, but then the DOW took a shit on itself, and most of us still don’t understand why the stock market is so important or even a thing(I still don’t), but then we were all introduced to Tiger King. (Carol totally killed her husband), and Netflix was like you’re welcome, and we all realized there was no way we were washing our hands enough in the first place because all of our hands are now dry and gross.
                      In April, Bernie finally busted himself out of the presidential race, but then NYC became the set of The Walking Dead and we learn that no one has face masks, ventilators, or toilet paper, or THE GOD DAMN SWIFTER WET JET LIQUID, but then Kim Jong-Un died, but then he came back to life… or did he? Who knows, because then the Pentagon released videos of UFOs, and we were like man, it’s only April….
                      In May, the biblical end times kicked off historical locust swarms and then we learned of murder hornets and realized that 2020 was the start of the Hunger Games but people forgot to let us know, but then people legit protested lockdown measures with AR-15s, and then sports events were cancelled everywhere, Everyone finished the end of Netflix and now had nothing new to watch on TV. But then people all over America finally reached a breaking point with race issues and violence. There were protests in every city, but then people totes forgot about the pandemic called COVID Not One Through 18. Media struggled with how to focus on two important things at once, but then people in general struggle to focus on more than one important thing, and a dead whale was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest after monkeys stole COVID 1 Through 19 from a lab and ran off with them, and either in May or April (no one is keeping track of time now) that a giant asteroid narrowly missed earth.
                      In June, science and common sense just got thrown straight out the window and somehow wearing masks became a political thing, but then a whole lot of people realized the south was actually the most unpatriotic thing ever and actually lost the civil war, and there is a large amount of people who feel that statues they don’t even know the name of are needed for … history reasons, but then everyone sort of remembered there was a pandemic, but then decided that not wearing a mask was somehow a god given right (still haven't found that part in the bible or even in the constitution), but then scientists announced they found a mysterious undiscovered mass at the center of the earth, and everyone was like DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH IT, but then everyone took a pause to realize that people actually believed Gone With The Wind was like non-fiction, but then it was also announced that there is a strange radio single coming from somewhere in the universe that repeats itself every so many days, and everyone was like DON’T YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH. IT, but then America reopened from the shut down that actually wasn’t even a shut down, and so far, things have gone spectacularly not that great, but everyone is on Facebook arguing that masks kill because no one knows how breathing works, but then Florida was like hold my beer and let me show you how we’re number one in all things, including new Not Corona Beer Corona Virus, Trump decides now is a good time to ask the Supreme Court to shut down Obama Care because what better time to do so than in the middle of a pandemic, but then we learned there was a massive dust cloud coming straight at us from the Sahara Desert, which is totally normal, but this is 2020, so the ghost mummy thing is most likely in that dust cloud, but then I learned of meth-gators, and I'm like that is so not on my fucking 2020 Bingo card, but then we learned that the Congo's worst ever Ebola outbreak is over, and we were all like, there was an Ebola outbreak that was the worst ever?
                      And tomorrow is July ......

                                  Its fake as a fake thing but I have a suspicion that there is more to it than meets the eye

                                  The whole thing felt badly scripted in the genre of stuff like the guy who makes a career about writing letters about parking fines and dumb facebook threads accosting people and annoying them with stupid messages.

                                      Yesterday I was merely thinking about doing headstands to improve my back posture and then trying one against the door (although I’ve found a miraculous great exercise to ease the spasms) and within minutes on Google I got spammed about this headstand chair that you can buy. WTF they can read my mind now or watching me trying to do a headstand. Really what are the odds?

                                          Is this what social media does to people in respect of credulity? That Twitter Brexit thing linked was ridiculously obviously fake.

Surgeon came down yesterday to check up, and he was saying to insist to the nurses that you want to be full to the gills with morphine at all times, no exceptions. Suggested a tension between what surgeons consider and what nurses do. Incal is great btw.
                                                                                            ah right. Here after surgery you get a few days of self medication where you press the button to your heart's content. one dose just gets you sluggish without any real purpose

He also talked about trolling 'woke' liberals on twitter. I'm not sold on this guy at all to put it mildly.

It left me with a very altered opinion where I would have previously thought she was a FFer who saw advantage in moving over but he made a compelling case that she always was a very strong republican in the troubles sense.

                                                                                                                        Basically I'm questioning the idea that she would rather pretend there were no Slab Murphys and is being forced not to by shadowy figures. I think she's probably a fellow traveller.
