"Law of the .........."

I recently received a comment about my post, The Law of the Garbage Truck. The comment was from Chris... Thank you for letting me know about the author, Chris. I have since then checked out David's blog.

***And if anyone is following any of the updates about my Dad...He continues to do well. We had a minor issue arise but he is doing good! We found out that every time he would exercise and push himself, he would complain about some discomfort or burning in the upper chest area. He had to visit the ER while he was at Rehab. All his tests and Xray checked out normal. But the Doctors at the St. Cloud Hospital suggested he come in for the night just to make sure there were no new developments. They had him do a stress test. Come to find out that the area of his heart that has the bad block is what is causing him to have this sensation. What has to happen is that he needs to do these exercises so new blood vessels for in that part of the heart so it can receive the oxygen it needs. Weird but Okay, I get it. They have added more meds to what he already takes and increased some of the ones he started out with.

Also, they decided to "fine tune" his ICD. That was scary and I am sure he was a little nervous because they pretty much had to put him "cardiac arrest" again to make sure the ICD did its job and zapped his heart to beating normal. It did its job! He did have to be somewhat put out for this because they said it would hurt. My poor Dad has been through so much these last 6 weeks. We hope that things will be a little back to normal soon.

The next news is that I have made a decision, rather late in my life, but what the heck, better late than not at all. I am checking into becoming a CPR/Heart Saver Instructor. I saved my Dad by using CPR and I feel that I need to get a message out there. You may someday have to help someone by doing CPR and you can't just sit there. It may work and it may not but you will never know if it worked or not if you don't at least try.
