Piecing It All Together

Lisa and Mark were researching how many different jigsaw piece patterns there were at each jigsaw puzzle company.  We just happened to complete two Planet Earth puzzles today and discovered that they have the same piece shapes in the same places!  So Lisa's idea of making a piece template and matching up the shapes would totally work.  It would miss the point of the puzzle, but it would still be interesting!

Kick It Up A Notch

 

Here's my ECG from my stress test today. Thought you might find it interesting. I did! It was a nuclear test, which meant that I spent a good part of the day radioactive. I also got an echocardiogram (ultrasound) and bloodwork. Monday is the followup appointment to determine the next step, if anything.

Embrace the pig

We are shopping on the other side of town, at the other Avenue.  G likes this pig sculpture.

Have A Heart

G is being evaluated for his "my heart hurts" comments, and he is very suspicious of everything the nurse is doing.  The bedside manner is not the best, but we will see how it goes.

In other news, I (P) spent the night Monday in the ER with an irregular heartbeat, and I also went to the cardiologist this morning.  He thinks I have Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, and I will undergo further testing next week.  On the treadmill - I think that will be fun.  The chest pain, in the meantime, is not fun, nor is the persistently irregular heartbeat.  But the good news is that it can be cured by ablation via catheter, if that ends up being the appropriate way to go.

In better news, I saw one of the biggest rainbows ever this morning!  Gotta focus on the good stuff.

Holy Toast!

I found the Virgin Mary in my toast today.  I think she was very happy to be covered in Nutella.
