Heart Update

 I was admitted to the hospital after having to go to the ER for another angina attack.  My doctor did another cardiac catheterization.  I didn’t need a stent because my heart blockage is not severe enough.  What I have been experiencing is vasospastic angina which is also known as variant angina or prinzmetal angina.  I need the right medications to prevent this from happening again.  I had another vasospastic angina attack during my cardiac catheterization so my doctor saw exactly what has been happening.  I had spasms in a few different places and my doctor told me that she saw my artery become pinched closed by 90% in one spot.  It felt the same as the attack that sent me to the ER.  Between being given nitroglycerin and another medication that I couldn’t tolerate, I had a really shitty time with having a bad headache. 

The roommate that I had at the hospital was a 38 year old mother of 2 who had had a stroke.  Life is good at throwing crazy unexpected curve balls at people. 😟

And who is to say that our point of perception is the only place in time that has the quality of existence? Past time has passed out of existence and future time has yet to come into existence.  How is it that our perception happens to be attached to the only point in time where time has real existence out of all of the time that ever has been and ever will be?  Is it because we just happen to be among those who are living and existing at the current place in time where the present is at?  Can there really only ever be one point in time, out of unimaginably large amounts of time, where an active and d
