Anyways, I had just finished up a stress echo that wore me out. The appt was at 9am, a time when I am usually comfortably snoozing in my comfy bed, NOT running on a treadmill, pretty much topless with wires attached to me. Quite the look, but I'll spare us all pictures of that! So needless to say I am exhausted at this point. I just want to sleep, my head is a little spinny...
I move to the next station (with my shirt on thankfully) where the lady calls me back for my halter monitor to be put on. I requested different sticker things for the wires because I have pretty sensitive skin. While she was in the other room locating them I saw a sign on the door.
I'm a speed reader, I read the important parts, once I get the gist I move on. So on the sign I read- Five Important Tips for Cardiac Patients.... (okay, lets see what this says) #1-Dress warm ( I wonder if that is why my feet are always cold? Are people with heart issues always cold? Old people do always seem to have sweaters on), #2-drink a lot of water to stay hydrated (Man oh man, people are always telling me to drink, well I just dn't like to- am I the only person? Nah, otherwise there wouldn't be signs like this), #3 have someone else help you drag and clean the deer" (WHAT? How did a deer carcass make it on this list? I'm so confused! Am I really that tired, let me read again). Yep #3- have someone else help you drag and clean the deer. I must have missed something here... Ah, the second line- Five Important Tips for Cardiac Patients....While Hunting this Season"
I guess sometimes speed reading doesn't pay off... but the nurse attaching my halter monitor had a nice chuckle, you should as well... so my tired stupidity wasn't for naught.....
Ohhhhhhhh was #4 don't drink too much beer? If so, I am definitely NOT going deer hunting if I ever have cardiac issues.
