First of all, I want to wish anyone reading this blog, friends and family far and near, Jewish or not, a sweet New Year full of happiness and health. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, starts tonight at sundown. We are making a HUGE meal and have another couple coming over to join us. This is a couple new to Solivita from upstate NY. We have much in common with them, so it's nice getting to know them.
Second, karma is a bitch sometimes and irony isn't always funny or amusing. Mark wore that stupid, irritating heart monitor for two full weeks. He took it off Friday afternoon and mailed it back to the company. So, of course, he gets a HUGE episode of whatever it is that he gets while we were in a restaurant last night. As he has always said, it's triggered by a big meal and alcohol. Too bad it didn't get triggered Monday night when we purposely ate and drank a lot at the Grand Floridian Cafe. But, NO, nothing that night while he had the monitor on.
He sees the heart doctor in about two weeks, so we will mention this. There are only two things that I can think for him to do. One is go to an ER WHILE he is having an episode and get an EKG during the episode. That's all that heart monitor would have done anyway. The second is to have a chip implanted under his skin that will monitor him for up to two years. The doctor mentioned that when we were in his office the first time, but he wanted to try the least invasive method first. That makes sense, but it didn't capture any useful data. Or at least we don't think it did. I will keep you posted on his progress.
Meanwhile, he is busy cooking and I am busy cleaning and setting the table for tonight's dinner and company.
L'Shana Tova Tikatevu.
