My unexpected break
Sorry for the sudden interruption of posts here at Get on the Bus. I had an unexpected health issue last week.
Basically, I almost had a heart attack, which was a bit of shock since I’ve never smoked, run 20 to 25 miles a week, quit caffiene three years ago and my 38th birthday is just days away. But as my doctor said, you can’t change your genes.
All is well now. I had angioplasty Wednesday morning to relieve a 99 percent blockage in a coronary artery. I’m home from the hospital recovering and feeling much better. I was quite lucky that I didn’t actually have a heart attack and that I have no permanent damage.
I’m going to return to blogging this week and I’ve got a lot of catching up to to do. There’s been plenty of interesting stuff going on out there. And I’m sure glad to be back!
