15 and still ticking

[dakids]

I woke up at 5 am yesterday covered in swet and my heart going about 120 beats a min.  CRAP I was in A-Fib again.  My wife drives me to the ER and the hook me up, Knock me out and light my butt up.  Dr shocked me 5 times and it didn't work.  As I wake up I know it didn't work.  They call a cardiologist up and instructs them to give me a med and shock me again and to use the old school paddles instead of the sticky paddles.  Finally worked.  My chest is VERY sore and I have a burn mark on my chest and back.

Good news is I'm leaving this morning for bear camp.  Wife and parents think I shouldn't go but I can't sleep knowing there are bear waiting to get shot.

you crazy old man thats problobly the one thing that would stop me for a day

It was the 15th time that I have been converted.  It is the very reason that I am going.  You should live every day like it might be your last, because it MIGHT BE.  I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and live a healthy life.  Dr. said my electrolites were very good and there wasn't anything that I could have done to stop it.  I'm not that old, I'm only 42, lots of gray hair from my 4 kids, but I feel young most days.

I agree Live every day as it might be your Last!  Hope you are seeing a good cardiologist!  Good luck on the Bear hunt, we want to see pics.

    Good luck on your hunt.  Make sure you have plenty of help hauling that thing out of the woods.

Wow dakids - You are doing exactly what I say I would be doing given the circumstances. Big difference between living it and thinking about it.
I hope you have the best bear hunt of your life, and then an even better one the next year... and on and on for the next 40 years - make that 50 years.
