Positive Spin.

I'm trying to put a positive things on life happenings... trying to find the good... get for the "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger" outta life. This is my first attempt on my blog...

For instance: I could say, oh crap. Another flippin heart monitor. Great.

Instead, I'll "spin" it to: There's nothing better than being rubbed down in alcohol, and then felt up by a strange nursing assistant that reeks of cigarettes. At least I got my second hand smoke fix. I needed that asthma attack today. Ok, ok... not exactly 100% positive. But I'm trying to find the humor. 

There's a very strong chance that I have another heart rhythm problem. One that shows up after pregnancy a lot of the time. One that my SVT has probably been covering up. For the past three weeks, I've been having bizarre chest pressure, and my heart rate keeps rising significantly when I change positions, or stand up. I finally saw a cardiologist today, and he's pretty certain that I have another problem, in addition to my SVT. It's shortened name is: POTS! So, if I do have it, at least I can say that I have pot. And then laugh when people ask me where. Silly dope fiends.

My life is changing a lot lately... but I have to find some positive in it. Life goes on. And each day I'm this side of the dirt, I'll take. Life gets bumpy. "Tires" get flattened. But they get reinflated, too.
