So I’ve come through what seems to be a rather weird ride. Whatever caused me to pretty much collapse and have difficulty breathing, resulting in a rush to the emergency room, has gone. I have not been able to link it to anything that I ate. I’m thinking that somehow my body was telling me to slow down a bit. Perhaps.

I’ve had a CAT scan, 24 hour heart monitor and blood tests done. I’m getting sick of all these blood tests. My arm skin is a slightly yellow colour around the region where all the needles have gone in. I feel like a pin cushion.

I think the weirdest experience I had was during my CAT scan. I was just laying there and all of a sudden I had one of the “episodes” as I now call it. A really weird feeling, like it triggered something to happen. That, and the iodine I had pumped into my body later for the contrast scan. The iodine first made my chest feel warm, then my bladder, and then I had a metallic taste in my mouth. Complete and utter weirdness.

It was also pretty weird having wires attached to my body for 24 hours. I had what looked like a massive walkman around my hip, which recorded the heart patterns to a tape. Yeah, no digital tech there. I was thinking how cool it would be to reverse the flow of signals and put a drum and bass tape in … I wonder how I’d handle 160bpm. hehe. Of course, I can’t work with tape technology anymore as I don’t have the equipment. Yeah, bugger.

Other than that I now have a massive cough, worse than I’ve ever had a cough before. This I think is unrelated. Emphasis on “think”. What I do know however is that I can pretty much do exactly what I did the day I had the episode and I’ll be fine. It took me two weeks to recover from the episode … I don’t want that happening again.

Whatever the case, the tests have been done and I visit my doctor this week. I’m pretty sure that if anything bad came up I’d know about it by now.

Whilst I’ve been bed-ridden recently, I’ve summoned the energy up to entertain myself with a little surfing of the internets. This post is a whole lot about nostalgia, so see if you remember these little youtube gems that I’ve found.

Anyone got any more? Ones that I just can’t find are “AEIOU”, with those little characters drawn in the sand who fight some dragon or something. Another is “Robo Story”, where the white leader keeps calling everyone else “imbeciles”.

We’re all allowed our fair share of whinging and whining and complaining I think. You know, people have to get that stuff off their chest every now and then. But hell, the number of times I hear people complain about the weather around here. I actually like weather in general. I like its unpredictability. The day we can control the weather is the day I’ll start complaining about it.

But seriously, I can’t even get people to sit outside when it’s slightly humid. They’d rather stay in the air conditioned building and when they leave work they get into to their air conditioned car and when they get home they get into their air conditioned house. I constantly hear about it being too humid, too rainy, too hot, and they hardly spend any time outside.

Pause.

Deep breath.

IT’S FU#KEN FLORIDA! WHAT THE FU#K DO YOU EXPECT FOR FU#K’S SAKE?!?

Complaining about complainers. Hmmmm….

UPDATE: It was pretty hot the other night out though :-p

Recently something happened… I can’t remember what it was…

nice one pk.

P.S. Although I haven’t been making too many posts lately, I have been taking quite a few pictures. Like, the flickr badge to the right has been in a state of constant update, pretty much. Apart from that I’ve been pretty flat out. Some major stuff coming up in the next few months. Hope you’re having fun y’all.

Peace out.
