I had my EKG appointment this morning. Essentially they have you remove everything from the waist up, put on this paper garment, and stick a bunch of sticky monitoring things on you. Then he checks your blood pressure and breathing.
Everything was fine. He said I had some extra heart-beats that were so minimal they weren’t of any concern at all (that really does tell me nothing, though).
The appointment was a little awkward. The doctor was pretty awkward too, I mean he was nice and all, just awkward. The room I was in was right next to his office, and he was kinda……I guess nerdy.
When he asked what I did and I told him he was like “Oh so you’re a techie”, and started asking me about phone apps and talking about his new android phone. I saw all the thumb drives and weird little gadgets on this desk, so I knew he was one of “Those” doctors. He asked where I worked and I told him it was above Volt and he started talking about how hard it is to get a reservation there.
He did say that he strongly recommended I went ahead with the surgery. The problems I could develop later would far supersede any problems that might develop from surgery. I agree on this point, but that doesn’t mean I want the surgery.
I really need to exercise more. Dieting is working out okay (birthday aside), and is becoming easier. It’s the exercise I’m having trouble with.
