The question has been asked before, and Erin has noted on multiple occasions that I do not have a heart. Well, guess what? I do have a heart! But it's not doing so well right now. Maybe that is what Erin was talking about? She definitely needed to be clearer.
On Saturday morning, April 4, I woke up around 4:00 a.m. with chest pain, sweats, and a general feeling of confusion and impatience. After some fumbling around, I wised up and woke Erin for help. She jumped into action and was calling 911 soon enough. Erin also had the presence of mind to give me aspirin... an act that definitely helped me in the long run.
It wasn't long before we confirmed that I had a heart attack. Me, the 42 year old without a heart. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm more excited to have proven Erin wrong or the fact that I had a heart attack. I never thought this was coming, I mean, I know this was coming sometime, but not anytime soon. Diabetes takes its toll over the years, and I have lived with this disease for 30 years, but a heart attack? Not me.
Go figure. I was wrong... kinda a doozy for the first time.
I love that you guys are writing both real and humorous...that is life - real, and humorous. Lynn, try to behave. You guys will all be in our hearts and prayers for a safe journey tomorrow and speedy healing.
