March 21st 2011

I've been released from the hospital, however I can't return to work until the Dr gives me a release. I'm supposed to get that on Thursday the 24th. That's when I return to the Dr's office, he checks certain chemical levels in my blood, and determines whether I go back to the hospital or not. Anyway, the events of the past few days have made me come to a couple of decisions - one of which is how I want my Will structured. 
Here goes: Andrea and Aiden, you get trusts for college, Jess, you get the physical stuff. I'm going to set up a maintenance trust for whichever animals I happen to have living with me at the time, making sure the funeral is paid for, making sure I am cremated, and making sure there's a well funded wake. In essence, Toast me then Roast me. 
That's the basics, I'm probably going to add bequests to a couple of other people. I'm also setting up my living Will, with Grandpa Don as the decision maker. 
I've told him that if it comes to the point of living as a vegetable or peaceful passage, go with peace. Then see above. 
I'm setting up the appointment with the lawyer for Wednesday. 
Amazing how a heart episode makes you take stock of your life and getting affairs in order.

March 17, 2011

Well kids, it's true...hit 50 and the warranty expires and the body goes to shit.
At this moment I am doing the induction processes for what I am hoping is only an overnight stay in the hospital for an excessively rapid heartrate.
More later.
Next day - major changes, as it seems that what was to be a single overnight has been extended to at least 3 nights.
Additionally, treatment has been changed from shocking my heartrate into a normal rhythm into achieving the same result with drugs.
