Well Out of Hospital
On medication to slow my heart, and with a modern device to reset rhythm if it’s lost, I’m cool as a cucumber now. There are so many people to thank,…
Woke up
I woke up this morning thinking of the Weird Al tune: “I’m So Sick of You”. Probably tired of being poked and vampired every morning already. Hope today goes well.
