No race this Saturday morning. Instead, I went to my granddaughter's Taekwondo tournament in Conroe. The afternoon, a representative from my cardiologist's office came to my house to deliver a defibrillator vest, It monitors my heart and shocks it if necessary or I do not push a button saying I am okay. I have to wear it as a precaution until the doctor figures out why and corrects my low heart function. The device is a vest worn under my shirt with a lot of wire and it connects to a strap around the waist with a very heavy battery pack. I can only take it off to shower. Very complicated; it took him over an hour to explain everything. After he left, I went into town and ran 3.5 miles. Except for carrying the extra weight, I felt okay. Better than the last few days. Maybe the new medication he prescribed is helping.
