Dad had another heart attack last month, and was rushed into the hospital. Of course, we did the CPR until the paramedics arrived. He has a new combination pacemaker/defibrillator, and that should help a lot in keeping him from going into v-fib. I just wish that the docs could figure out how to stop the bleeding into his intestine.
Been riding my bicycle faithfully. I must say after encountering countless inconsiderate groups of pedestrians at Seward Park who like to block the path, I have transitioned over to riding on the Interurban Trail. There are far fewer people there and I can go there and just ride in the tranquility.
Also, got the most recent results of my blood work. My A1C is down to 7.1. Much improved. I do feel better. Like the movie, "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?"
Ex #2 and I are talking a lot lately. The ex sees that I have come a long way in my recovery. I can see evidence that the ex is working on recovery too. Who knows?
I am seeing signs that I have narcissistic personality disorder symptoms. I had been totally unaware that I had them. In truth, I can see a pattern that those behaviors drove a lot of folks away from me, and out of my life. My strategy now is to identify the triggers that put me in those behaviors, and short circuit the onset of those behaviors, hopefully before I launch into them. I also need to develop new alternative strategies for responding to the triggers, so I can have a repertoire of healthy behaviors in response to the triggers.
Yesterday I gave a small lobster dinner for my truck driver buddy. He is a very nice person, and loves to help out around the house and yard here. Dad even likes him. Shock.
Next month I am planning on taking a few days to help ex #2 move the household to the new job location.
I think that covers most of the past two months in a nutshell.
