I'm not so sure that this song actually relates to anything I'm about to post but who doesn't love good ole Louis. For this blog I'm going to break it into smaller parts.
Lent: So I did really well for all of lent, I completed all of my goals successful except for posting a lot. That part makes me mad. It's something I love doing because it allows so much stress to be relieved from my life, but it's time that I can't always set aside. So that was Lent...
Post Lent Updates
School: I was informed I was on academic probation, which I wasn't so shocked about because I knew I was going to get a 'c' in one class. I realized at a certain point that one class needed to suffer for the other two and my job to succeed. So one class was left to the wayside. Not proud, but life moves on, I can't be perfect all the time and I need to not obsess about a 4.0 all the time. I love my summer classes and am no longer working which I will elaborate in the next section...
Life: I had been training for the Philadelphia Marathon and was so excited to be running it. A lot of my friends were doing it in honor of one of the guys uncles who passed away. I am an obsessive runner, so it seemed like no sweat to me. In April I was having a lot of chest pain and problems breathing so I saw my doctor and had my inhalers adjusted. Then I passed out at home after a very very short run. I went to my doctor who thought I was fine (he was being optimistic not malicious) but readjusted my inhalers in case and got me a small nebulizer as a precaution. However he did an in office tilt test and suspected something was wrong but not to worry for now. I knew something bigger was wrong and consulted a second doctor who made me feel like i was nuts, and if I'm going to be accused of being nuts I'm gonna go all out. I contacted a cardiologist who saw me immediately, and told me I needed a TILT Table test and a plethora of other cardiac tests done. He said my heart rate was abnormally high and that i needed these done asap. I was put on bed rest. The next week I was in and out of the hospital. The worst was the TILT test, they strap you to a bed and cover you in sensors, then the bed flips up so you're standing (in my case my heart rate laying was 75-80 bpm, but standing was 140-143) the range I'm in often causes people to just pass out because your heart can't understand to slow down. So since I didn't pass out they then gave me a pill that put me into cardiac arrest momentarily (a mild heart attack) and then monitored that till I passed out. Gonna be honest, heart attacks suck, if you can avoid one I implore you to do it. I got sent home and was in bed for 3 days. Your body just can't physically handle any movement. I took a shower that was about it. The first two meds I was put on didn't work, but now I'm on my third and hoping this one works as planned. Then hopefully I can get back to normal. So for now the diagnosis is..... chronic neurocardiogenic syncope. Don't google it, it will scare you. and no one needs to be scared.
Dating: I date. You date. We all date....
Work: NO WORK YAAAYYY. Quiting my job was the best decision ever. Sure I miss making $500 a night, but it wasn't worth the harm it was putting on my body.
Drama: Friends do dumb shit and at the end of the day you learn to love it, or you move on. I burn bridges and I think a few people are aware that they're lucky their bridge wasn't burned. We (as people) need to careful think about the relationships that we want in our lives. Cherish the ones you want and either end or neglect the rest. Just never lie.
So these are my personal updates. :)
