So first of all, thanks for visiting!:) So you're probably asking why I'm starting to do this here blog. Well it really started in the spring of 2011. I had been suffering from headaches, dizziness, fatigue...you get the picture. Add this to the heart palpitations I had and you're left with quite the party of symptoms. So off to the doctor I go.
My doctor had me wear a heart monitor for 24 hours to catch my palpitations. They did. A few. Thanks heart for not showing symptoms when it mattered. I wanted to be safe rather than sorry so I requested a referral to a cardiologist. Fast forward to the day of my appointment. I walked in, sat down in the lobby, and looked around. What did I see?.....Uh.....All old people. Yup. All cane-walking, shriveled up old people. **what am i doing here?** While wondering this question I hear, "Stephanie Perry? The doctor will see you now." I wait for a few minutes in the exam room and the cardiologist walks in. "First thing I'd like to know is why someone YOUR AGE is doing in my office?"....thanks doc. Needless to say, I was told my heart is in great condition...and here it comes....BUT!!!....you gotta lose weight... exercise ...yadda yadda yadda. It made me wise up and finally do something meaningful about it.
So that's how this journey started.
