Update: 

I got my results back from my heart monitor.  My heart is fine and looks normal.  Yeah!  Thank you, God!

I am still having episodes of dizziness and mental fogginess, so next Wednesday I’m having an ultrasound done of my carotid arteries to check for blockage there.

I am tired of having to wait a week or two after one test is done before the next one; but as a friend reminded me, that is a good thing.  It means that the doctors aren’t worried about a serious condition that requires immediate emergency treatment. That is so true!

I am looking forward to feeling 100% again and being able to fully resume my activities without concern.

Unique Encounter:

I went to Walgreen’s today and as I got back to the Pharmacy, another customer got very excited and starting talking to me.  The lady was very personable and pleasant.  Everything she said should be in ALL CAPS and Italics because that is the way she talked.  “Oh my!  I love your prosthesis!  I’ve never seen one like it before!  Why does it look like that?”  (I was wearing shorts). I patiently explained how flexible the foot was and how well it worked on uneven ground, etc., etc. etc. 

It was all a bit strange.  I’ve never had an encounter quite like that before.  She seemed genuinely happy and pleased for me.  My wife asked me later if it made feel uncomfortable.  I told her that surprisingly it did not.  Some people would have freaked me out coming on so strong; although she was a stranger, she made me feel very comfortable to talk with her.  The Pharmacist witnessed it all and she gave me a big smile afterwards as if to say, “You handled that very well”.
