Why I started this blog

Hey everyone,

As many of you know I have had some major health problems since March 15th, 2008. If you are not aware of all of this, well read the first two blogs from April 2008 and you will get the basics of where all of this started.

Since the end of April/first week of May, I have had some crazy things happening with my "heart". The basic details are:
  • I have crazy up and downs with my heart rate and blood pressure
  • Chest pain that never ends
  • In and out of AV blog and sinus rhythm
  • Passing out about 1-4 times a week
  • Light headed and Dizzy most times
  • Sleeping all the time
  • I have had more test then one should have in 50 life times
  • A book of everything it is not
  • Specialist that have no clue what is causing all the "symptoms'
Since they have no clue why all the symptoms are happening, but can see it on test, and I am in and out of the ER or hospital all the time, they are sending me to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. I will be seen there on December 01, 2008 and can be there for 1 week to a month. This is why I have decided to start a blog so everyone can stay up to date with what is happening with my health and I will not have to the story 1000 times. I love you all and appreciate your concern, I just will not have time to actually call everyone, so this is the next best thing. Plus all of you can now see what adventures I may have in life.

The one last thing I would like to say.... ask... is if you can all pray for a huge miracle and for the doctors that will see me in Arizona. I would be more than grateful!!!!

As time goes on I will keep you all update and start putting funny things in here as well!
