PERFECT HEALTH
IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS BEING IN " PERFECT HEALTH? "
I DON'T THINK THERE IS , REALLY....
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT YOU CAN BE LIVING YOUR LIFE, DOING ALL " THE RIGHT THINGS ", - OR SO YOU THINK YOU ARE, AND STILL WIND UP IN THE HOSPITAL OR WITH SOME SORT OF MAJOR ILLNESS. IT'S LIKE IT'S ALL CHANCE. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW HOW YOUR BODY IS GOING TO RESPOND DURING YOUR LIFETIME.
A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE IS BEGINNING TO FIND THIS OUT. HE'S 42 YEARS OLD, TALL AND SLENDER. NEVER SMOKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE. ALWAYS ENERGETIC AND STRONG AS A HORSE. HE TAKES VITAMINS AND DRINKS PLENTY OF FLUIDS EACH DAY. ALTHOUGH HE'S NOT AN OVER-EATER, HIS EATING HABITS ARE NOT THE GREATEST. FAST FOOD IS A MAIN STAPLE IN HIS LIFE ALONG WITH HIS FAVORITE DRINK, MOUNTAIN DEW.
HE EATS ON THE GO A LOT BECAUSE OF HIS WORK SCHEDULE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS LIFESTYLE HAS BEGUN TO TAKE A TOLL ON HIM. A NORMAL WORK DAY FOR HIM CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 4 HOURS TO 16 HOURS EACH DAY.
LAST YEAR, IN MID OCTOBER, HE BEGAN HAVING A TIGHTNESS IN HIS CHEST. HE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR A CHECKUP WHICH WAS THE SMARTEST THING HE COULD'VE EVER DONE. HE FOUND OUT THAT HIS HEART HAD AN IRREGULAR BEAT AND IN ORDER TO KEEP HIS HEART BEATING A NORMAL PACE, HE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY AND THIS LITTLE DEVICE, ( ICD ) WAS PLACED JUST UNDER THE SKIN IN HIS CHEST AREA AND CONNECTED TO HIS HEART MUSCLES.
SO NOW, ANYTIME HIS HEART IS BEATING OUT OF RHYTHM, THIS DEVICE SHOCKS IT AND KEEPS IT BEATING PROPERLY. HIS HEART IS CONSTANTLY MONITORED BY THIS DEVICE. IT WAS VERY GOOD THAT HE'D GONE TO THE DOCTOR WHEN HE DID BECAUSE HE WAS TOLD THAT HE COULD'VE HAD CARDIAC ARREST AT ANYTIME.
TO KNOW THIS MAN, YOU WOULD NEVER THINK THAT HE WOULD HAVE A HEART CONDITION, EVER. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH YOUR BODY. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, HE BEGAN FEELING SOME CHEST PAIN BUT DISREGARDED IT THINKING THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO SOME BACK PROBLEMS HE WAS HAVING. A FEW DAYS PASSED AND HE BEGAN FEELING WEAK. HE HAD NO ENERGY AND HIS BREATHING WAS VERY LABORED. HE HAS NOW FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS SOME FLUID ON HIS LUNGS. THE DOCTORS SAY THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WITH HIS CONDITION. HE HAD BLOOD WORK WHICH CAME BACK NORMAL AND A CHEST X-RAY WHICH HE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT ON HIS NEXT VISIT ON MONDAY. HE WAS PRESCRIBED A DIURETIC SO WE SHALL SEE...
I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE'S NOT HIMSELF AT ALL. HE STILL IS VERY LETHARGIC AND SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCING ACID REFLUX. I'M HOPING THAT HE MENTIONS THIS TO HIS DOCTOR ON MONDAY BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACID REFLUX IS NOT THAT AT ALL BUT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
I HATE TO SEE PEOPLE THAT I CARE ABOUT BECOME ILL. ESPECIALLY A PERSON LIKE HIM. HE'S A VERY GOOD MAN. A HARD WORKING MAN. VERY KIND, ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ANYONE. A VERY HONEST, CARING, AND GENUINE HUMAN BEING. I FEEL HONORED TO HAVE HIM IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS WHERE MY MIND HAS BEEN. THIS IS WHERE IT STAYS. I WISH HIM WELL EACH AND EVERY DAY. PLEASE JOIN ME IN SAYING A PRAYER OR A POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR MY DEAR FRIEND. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.....
