Extreme Changes Wow, no wonder folks get sick in the Fall/Winter time as temperatures swing from too cold (30s) one day to near Spring-like(77) 2 days later. The body doesn’t have time to acclimate, hence folks get the sniffles, colds & flu. Another Arctic Blast arrives after midnight and it’ll be back to the heavy weather gear on Monday as temperatures fall from the 50s into the 40s by midday with strong north winds. Record cold is likely for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings before another big warm up returns for late week. Some welcomed rains will accompany the front tonight with a rumble or two of thunder. This up & down pattern is likely to continue for the rest of this month. On a more serious note, I underwent my annual physical this week and had great blood work! I have been feeling terrific with lots of energy and was down 9 lbs. since last December. However, my long time internist was concerned that my normal low heart rate (48-53 – long time runner) had dipped down to 33 beats/min. Bottom line, I have undergone extensive cardio testing and doctors have told me I need a pacemaker. My heart is pumping very efficiently. This is not a blockage problem, but an electrical one. I have family history so it is not totally unexpected. However, I have none of the symptoms (light headedness, fainting, no energy, exhaustion ) that someone with such a low heart rate usually has. This could require some time off from Ch. 8 and my blog site. Please live each day as it might be your last. You never know when your health takes a turn to the south. Hopefully I’ll have good news for you tomorrow night? Stay tuned! Bob Breck
