This morning I had my 6-month follow-up with the arrhythmia specialist I was assigned to when hospitalized back in January of 2014 with A-Fib. Had to take Amiodarone for almost two years and have had not one issue since being taken off of it. I was given another medication to take on an "as needed" basis but have never needed them.
Because my last echocardiogram was normal, today's EKG looked good and I'm feeling great (other than hardly being able to walk), the doctor said he wouldn't need to see me again for a year. Woohoo!
Got my hair cut this afternoon and didn't feel like going back home or like going for a drive and taking photos so ended up hanging out at Barnes and Noble bookstore for a bit. I'd been reading "The End of Dieting" by Dr. Joel Furhman from the library and today at the bookstore ran across his book "The End of Heart Disease." After flipping through it, I decided I wanted to add it to my collection. Perhaps it will encourage me to start leaning toward a more plant-based WOE. I'm doing better than I was but know I could be doing WAY better and feeling a whole lot better too.
