Had an appointment with my cardiologist on Thursday. Everything was normal until he took my pulse. He then said “we’re going to do an EKG.” Nurse came in; hooked me up to the EKG machine; ran the test; and said you’re in Afib. This is the 3rd time I’ve been in Afib. The first two were resolved with electro-cardioversion. ▄ Electrical cardioversion is a procedure in which an electric current is used to reset the heart's rhythm back to its regular pattern (normal sinus rhythm). The low-voltage electric current enters the body through metal paddles or patches applied to the chest wall. ▄ I got a burn from the last one I had done. They had to hit me twice to turn the ol’ engine over. I’ve got an appointment in a few weeks to see him again and decide what should, or shouldn’t be done. ■ ■ Our house is getting new siding. They’ve taken the old siding off, insulated it, wrapped it and are in the process of install the new siding. It should look nice. ■ Cribbage tonight. We’re hosting it. ■
