Reconnect

Well, its been a week. I had kind of a traumatic last Sunday, and its take me a while to get my head back together. I did take pictures through out the week though. Those are here in reverse order. I have Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. I had it operated on about six years ago and they were unsuccessful. However, during the months that followed, I became asymptomatic and I was deemed cured. Well, this Sunday, while playing worship for church, I had another attack. It wasn't huge, it only lasted about a minute, but its the first time that has happened to that degree since the procedure. It was a cathadrization btw... to kill the extra nerve in my heart. Attacks speed up my heart to around 270 or so and I feel faint. They used to last for around 15 minutes on average and happen a few times a year.

I am not scared, it was short, and it happened and was over. But I must say, I am sad to see it back. I was just really getting to the point that I wasn't overly concerned with my heart. (Heart problems are such a head case... its crazy). Now, the worm is back in my brain. For example, mowing the lawn today = wondering if my heart was going to freak out. This is the way it works for me. I always have it on the back burner. sad sad sad. It might never happen again, and if it only happens every five years, for a minute span of time... I can deal with that. I just wish it was gone.

This morning, by the way, was very beautiful. I have been getting out of the house at around 5:30 lately to give myself some extra hiking time. I like to be back in my car at 7:00. There are these oaks part of the way through my hike, that are hundreds of years old and so beautiful. You can make one of them out in the fog in the first picture. Also, I saw a couple new birds this week: a Great Egret... maybe I'll throw that picture up here as well... all white and giant and beautiful, and a eastern towhee this morning. lovely little thing.

So yes, to the pictures, in reverse order sporadically throughout the week.

Isabella is in there as well in celebration of the removal of her braces :)
