LIFESTYLE CHANGES

"Carl are you with us?" I heard someone ask as my eyes started to focus on the monitor that displayed my vital signs. "Yeah, I feel great! What did you give me?" I asked. "200 joules" the doctor said. "Wow thanks you guys! Everyone here gets to eat for free at my restaurant!" I announced to the ER staff. Everyone got a good laugh. Then the Dr. said something about my heartbeat was out of control and that they zapped it back to a steady beat.

Naturally, like any other type A person I asked if I could leave. "I'm sorry but we're going to have to take you to the hospital and monitor you over night." He said in the caring yet monotone voice that doctors use. Five days later, I received a pacemaker with a defibrillator.

It was installed on my 50th birthday!

I'm truly grateful and lucky to be alive. While in the hospital, I decided to take responsibility for my poor lifestyle. Also, I made a commitment to learn about healing my whole self and share it with others so they can heal themselves as well. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on t.v. . Please hang up and dial 911 if you are experiencing a medical emergency.

A shocking revelation LOL
