Dear Bobby,

I used to get chest pains.
They are back.
Once about 6 years ago I was hospitalized for 24 hours while they did blood draws.
When I was hospitalized for the stroke last summer I was monitored electronically for 4 days (wires taped to all over it seemed).
During that time they ran good tests.
Heart is fine thank goodness -- although internist did ask me to see a cardiologist for a stress test (she sent me to her husband who is a cardio). I did not get around to making the call for the appt. -- I'm putting it off until I am awake in the day time.

Meditation, prayers, relaxation techniques . . . . I need to be doing something a long those lines.
Maybe I'll start with 20 minutes of mostly breathing on yoga DVD. First I have to clear the off the floor.

The little city park shares a property line with my complex (It's prob a three minute walk from my door. I only started using it about two months ago. It is nice and quiet because it does not have a parking lot -- only people within walking distance can go there. ) Going around once is .36 miles (it's spray painted on the walkway.)

I remember that walking saved my life years ago.
Maybe I can listen to music too. It can be meditative.
Right now I have no patience for it. And I'm not even sure where my radio is.
I listen to youtube but that is not close enough.

I'm full of complaints.
