Wednesday

Waiting. Visitors are good.

What's not good: Bank of America detected irregular activity
on my credit card and cancelled it. I tried to get a hotel
room for when I get out, and no such luck.

Today they offered this fourth choice:

Grilled Tilapia w/ Chipotle Peach Salsa - a tasty
white fish fire-grilled, and served with a peach
and pepper chipotle sauce.

I asked for this with "no sauce please - if not
possible, then grilled hamburger without roll x2"

What came: two 5-oz servings of not bad if overcooked
fish, no sauce. Very fine, as I am NPO as of midnight.

The bad news: the cardio, suspecting something, ordered my
heart monitor rehooked up. The worse news: it detected
several episodes of v-tach in among the bradycardia (my
standard current condition). It is said that v-tach is a
precursor of v-fib, which is most troublesome. I don't want
to keel over just yet. The treatments for same include:
(1) most troublesome, most effective - defibrillator, which
I don't want; (2) moderately troublesome, moderately
effective - amiodarone, which I prefer not to have; (3)
least troublesome, but hasn't proven effective for me -
metoprolol. Poop, the last was agreeing with me, but if it
doesn't work, that's not so good either.
