Today I go to Erie to see a heart specialist about having the loop recorder implanted. I haven't decided yet if I want to do this - I could go either way.

The doctor seemed to think they could have been caused by stress, radiation or the hormone med I am taking now. The fact that I had 2 episodes in July and 2 in August but none in September or Oct is good (I think) - I started the hormone med in the beginning of July. There is no reason I can't do it later if I want to so I think I will just wait and see what happens for now.

$12.50 per month! That's great. How much data is allowed with that plan? You'll enjoy having a smartphone, they are so helpful.

You love your little chicken-babies.

The plan prices out at $25 every 60 days for 500 minutes, 1000 texts (I barely text) and .5 GB data. Not much data but as it is now I have no data and am surviving. It will roll over if you don't use it all.

They sure keep me busy thinking about them anyway!
