Came to the ER for a small persistent pain in my left arm. I make a deal about it because I had open chest heart surgery 11 months ago.
Maybe it was the food and whine from yesterdays work party, or the heated one hour walk home because now I think it’s always a good idea to walk (you get to add steps).
I say maybe because my mind is used to play tricks on me so it could be anything.
However, same thing happened 11 months ago, I thought it was anxiety and turned out it was something worse.
I am ok, I feel ok, my cardiologist said 3 weeks ago that I should see him for a checkup in a year …

However, same thing happened 11 months ago, I thought it was anxiety and turned out it was something worse.
I am ok, I feel ok, my cardiologist said 3 weeks ago that I should see him for a checkup in a year so everything was fine.
And here I am now. I don’t have the test results yet. But I’m scared. I guess I’m supposed to. And if in this waiting room I get to be present in the now, even if it’s just a couple of times, good.
Also I didin’t sleep well last night, maybe that’s also why I’m here with fear instead of having taken an analgesic and see what happened.
I think I’m still not convinced I’m healthy, even if the cardiologist says so.
Anyways, wish me luck and thank you for reading.
