    .. they say I'm normal but not. LOL Met with the cardio guy again today for a 30 followup to the "More aggressive meds". I'm still at the same point I was a month ago at best. So, now they're doing another monitor with the intention of putting in a pacemaker/ICD device. Then they can increase the meds and really screw me up. He says he can get me back to humping hills and wading streams. I'd do anything to get back to where I was 9 months ago. He seems sure he can do it. Either he will or he won't or he'll kill me in the process. He wanted to think about doing it before my fishing trip to Canada. Well hell they can't even get me on the monitor until Thursday and then they say 2 weeks to review the data after downloading. I said so you'd be wanting to cut on me 3 days before my fishing trip? No way, Sharpen your knife for when I get back.

    I almost had a picture coming through my monitor of you with a wicked sneer on that one. I'll stick my finger in a light socket.
