out of the frying pan...and into the fire

Well, both the therapist AND the shrink have agreed.  I need to make an appointment with the cardiologist.  I have had a thu-thump-thump for about 10 years now.  Until my daughter was born (when I had high blood pressure and gestational diabetes) it was only when I got really anxious and all the docs said, anxiety is causing an adrenaline rush...yada, yada, yada.  Since Lola was born, when I exercise, especially at the beginning of a session I sometimes get a thu-WHUMP-thump, which then goes away.  So, of course, my mind immediately goes to chest cracking open heart surgery where they implant a baboon heart and I am given six weeks to live (same old story, different disease).  They even mentioned the 24 hour monitor (I'm familiar with that Ava wore one when she was a week old b/c of a fast heart rate, but it was ok.)

So, I'm stomping my feet like a baby because I'm scared.

I did just finish hula hooping, lots of sweat but no thumps.

I guess I'll be eating less fried foods, and more broiled food. 

(insert mental picture of me holding my head in my hands, and wiping the sweat from my brow)  you got it.
