Radiation man

 Well, here I sit by myself and awaiting room of a major cardiologist center. A little scary. They injected me with radioactive stuff then I had to wait an hour and then they took pictures x-rays of my heart. Then I had to wait again, they injected more stuff, then put me on a treadmill till I was about to give out but my heart rate got to 128 the magic number so they could inject more stuff. I hope that stuff injecting me hurts me. Now I’m waiting to have more pictures taken after the treadmill.  But so far so good at least nobody made funny faces when they were looking at the scream and said oh my. Plus, I did not have to have the medicine that makes your heart rate as I was able to do the treadmill even as old as I am, she couldn’t put it at enough angle and fast enough speed to outdo me . That I’m proud of. So here I sit they gave me a 5 ounce cup of coffee, which I haven’t had any for two days because of this and it taste wonderful. Here’s hoping that I’m indestructible like I believe And have been telling my daughter for years that I am but to be on the safe side I will seriously try to eat more vegetables, fruit, and oatmeal. Who knows I might actually start using the exercise bicycle again. Is once every 5 to 6 months good enough? Ha ha. I realize that nobody lives forever well except until the world met me that is. I realize that nobody lives forever, well except until the world met me that is. I will not go quietly into that still dark night, I will go kicking and screaming and fighting against it.

my body is not indestructible as I thought.

 I went and had a CT scan done yesterday. Since my brother has cancer and he didn’t know about it until he had an x-ray done I went to have one done just to make sure I didn’t have it also. Well, they done a CT scan of my upper body. I prayed to God for them to find something and be able to fix it or find nothing at all and that I’m good to go. I wanted the ladder but I left it up to him. Well today my regular doctor called me over the phone and gave me the results , and now I am tying to digest the information the best I can. He said I have some nodules in my lungs and I have what appears to be a stone in my gallbladder, and I have diverticulosis, and I have plaque buildup in my heart. So he setting me up an appointment with a heart specialist  And a pulmonary specialist. I am unusually calm about this. Maybe I’m in denial or maybe it’s God keeping me calm through this awakening that I am like everybody else and one day I will get sick and die. I love my wife but she’s not much help today as she says oh you’re gonna be fine don’t worry about it , are you doing this to get attention to yourself? Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I answered why in the world where I want to get attention for myself with these problems? That don’t even make sense to me. And I’m not feeling sorry for myself. It’s just I wanted someone to talk to about it , I think I’m going to be fine I don’t hurt anywhere I’m short of breath sometime but I’m 71. But with my brother being sick, I decided not to tell any of my family including my kids because they might have negative thoughts and think I’m doing this to take attention away from him.  But honestly I did not he might have months to live. I did not want to take attention away from him. I just wanted to make sure it didn’t happen to me and if I do have something going wrong, maybe they can catch it early and fix it. So I think I will keep my mouth shut and not tell anybody , that might get back to my family for fear of negative thinking and I don’t need that right now. I am imagining just imagining mind you they’ll tell me to eat better and exercise more like all doctors do. I have started exercising on my bike since the first of the year. I think I will double up on the exercise.  Well whoever might read this please say a little prayer for me and God will help me through this and show me what I need to do with the rest of my life as a lot of times I feel like I am spending my wheels and not helping anybody or anything.  I really do want to make a difference somewhere, but I’m nothing special and he won’t give me a clear direction. Thanks for reading this. ~Rob

Today's thought from Rob.

 Today's thought from Rob.

I have not been exercising much the past year, but it being a new year I told myself, not to think about, but just do it. So I got on the old neglected exercise bike yesterday. I was surprised at how much my legs started to hurt and I was running out of breath before I even got a half mile. I pushed thru at 10 mph and did a mile. It's too cold to walk or jog but I will try very hard to get on it everyday or every other day. This morning I am suggesting that you do the same.
Start a new habit of physical exercise today and stick with it. Start small by doing something physical that you haven't done in a while.
A short walk, even indoors, or a light jog...some sit-ups...pushups...
Anything that will get your blood flowing and your heart pumping. Just do it and keep doing it.
I pray when I exercise. God understands why I am out of breath, he told me it's okay. ~ Rob.
