.....Today at around 20:08 I had another shock from my pacemaker.
The day began as usual, up at 0630, head to the bathroom, shower and leave with the family for work.
Kiss my wife and son goodbye and take the train to work.
The morning was moderately busy but hay I work in IT so not too stressful and I'm good at handling stress.
Lunch time, mix my protein shake and headed to the gym for a light cycle session, 25mins with 5min cool down, moderate rate of 100-130bpm.
The only difference to my day is today I will be going to TaiChi in the evening. (normally a different day)
So I'm in class and were getting on with a really nice Chi Kung set (45mins) then off to the normal section of the class were we do a good 30mins of Pushing hands.
So now its just gone 2000hrs.
We finish the set and I bow to my friend Everton, and a sudden head rush comes on, just feeling light headed. I take deep breaths to clear it and then it feels more like a palpitation is making me light headed...oh I remember this feeling, I have had many before over the years and just thought it was lack of water or food.
BOOM!!! (strangely this one is not as painful as the first, it actually felt less powerful)
.....so how do I feel right now?
I cried, I cried alot.
It's difficult when you start thinking about the things you enjoy are somehow adding to the danger of your life.
I feel like one by one things are being taken away from me.
So it looks like I can no longer ride as this is what I have been doing all week in the gym
I got to slow down period.
So know I'm back home and to keep to my promise I'm writing this entry today.
The rest of this blog might be a little boring now but I will continue to write as often as I can. Right now I'm going to watch the rest of Episode 11, Season 2 of The Walking Dead.

I am glad you are ok Jason. But try and stay away from too much excersion of force from the body. Just relax as much as you can man. I know its hard as you say, to see everything that you love to do slippping away from you. I know things will get better and as the doctor told you, its just for six month or until your next two checkups.
ReplyDeleteOh and remember the most important things are always around you, which are your adorable son and lovely wife.Try as much as you can and be strong and rest.
