hiddenmuseMy surgery has been postponed. I got the call on Friday evening from my internist, that there was an abnormality on my EKG - something called a "Prolonged Q-T Interval". And in order to have the surgery - since it's not emergency - I have to get clearance from a cardiologist. As well as find out from my mom if there were any premature deaths and/or family history of heart disease (outside of hypertension). Then, once I have clearance from the cardiologist, I would get the surgery re-scheduled for later in the week, or even the next week.
So far, the good news is, there is no history of heart disease in my family, and for the most part, my maternal and paternal grandparents and great-grandparents were in at least their 70s or older when they passed away. Although, my mom also had an abnormal EKG several years ago, only to have a cardiologist do a stress test - and it came out fine.
I've called my internist - now, I'm waiting for her to call back. I feel like I'm a teenager again, waiting for a boy to call me.
In my attempt to look on the bright side of life ... this is what Bush's Sex Ed program is doing:
DEAR ABBY: I want to know if you can become addicted to drugs by having sex with an addict.
Please don't print my name because I live in a small, conservative community in Ohio. -- NAMELESS IN A RED STATE
DEAR NAMELESS: Although you cannot become addicted to drugs by having sex with an addict, you CAN become addicted to drugs if you hang around with addicts and frequent places where drugs are easily available. (This is one of those situations where you should "just say no" and avoid temptation.)
