So an injection in the delt isn't any fun...Especially when the first try doesn't penetrate the muscle and the syringe goes flying across the room....V. said relax the muscle...IT WAS RELAXED DAMNIT....V. said that's a first he has seen THIS happen...
Guess I should be proud about this...
Diet has been way too shitty for way too long...I warned EVERYONE at the dinner table tonight...I'M DONE FEELING LIKE SHIT...Beware...Healthy eating starts TOMORROW...

Bummer of a day for me...Was in and out of A-Fib all night long, mostly in it...At one point my heart rate was 167 for 7 minutes...Then down to 53, up to 88, 62, 120, 90, 157, UGH...I got maybe 2 hours sleep if that...Was very scared and restless as well...Called the doctor and got a return call that the next step is the Cardiologist...Needless to say, I am now scared shitless...I am only 43 years old...Finally have found the love of a lifetime...Have the perfect little family...And THIS shit happens?!?!![]()
Anyway, enough with that...Y'all aren't interested in my shit....V. has put me on Ramped Sets for my rehab for the heart...I really liked it...I should be able to recover at a great speed now and not overdo it like I was when I first got out of ICU...

I had forgotten how hard this type of workout is...Definently leaving the Dungeon worn the hell out...
