Okay, so I am definitely just horrible about keeping this thing updated! It should be noted that I am still alive and well.
I thought that this one news article I read was definitely worth mentioning. You know how die-hard your Dad or your Grandpa is about football? Maybe you are too...and it just SUCKS when you have to work or have other obligations when your favorite game is on TV. Well...this guy was nearly 70 years old and get this...he needed a pacemaker put in his chest for a serious heart condition he has. The appointment was scheduled for a Thursday...and his game was coming on for Saturday (Michigan vs. Michigan State in Ann Arbor). So he put the surgery off until the following week! The man claims that if something went wrong on the table...it would be "like going into combat" and he might not come back out!!
Now - that being said, his condition is fairly serious...it's a weakened heart muscle, and doctors generally say it's a large risk to put off a surgery like that, but I guess if it's in the name of Football, it makes it all okay!!! I know at least for myself, I'd be more concerned about getting that damn thing in my chest!
Hopefully I'll write again soon...but the good news is, I'll be back with you EVERY Saturday on my usual shift...3pm-7pm...talk to you all then!!
