Heart Specialist Visit

Kirk just returned from his visit with the Heart Specialist.

All is well.

He got to see his heart beating just fine on a monitor. (Of course, if it wasn't, what are the options) The part he didn't understand, the Dr. placed the gadget on his tummy and it shows the back of his heart. Modern technology. The Dr. chuckled when Kirk questioned how this works.

They don't really know what happened the other day. It was serious, and yet everything is normal now. In fact the Dr. was surprised how strong Kirk's heart is considering his age.

Kirk told the Dr. about his past. Construction jobs of climbing ladders, his prospecting days of walking miles and climbing mountains. Sure, now he is not doing as much physical labor. Maybe, this is the problem.

The topic of smoking did come up. The Dr. told him, should he stop smoking now, in three years it would be like he never smoked.

I got one of these, "should we try?" when he was explaining it to me.
"We!"
I've been bitching about this for a long time now. No sense me quitting if he doesn't.

WE are going to give it a try.
