Last week I had an angiogram. I've had afib (irregular heartbeat) for some time but my Dr. discovered that one side of my heart is too large. (always thought having a big heart was a good thing lol). I'm sure that if I researched it long and hard enough, I would find a connection to my ex. (lol). Anyway  I had no idea that this procedure is considered  heart surgery.(tho minor heart surgery)

So I get prepped which includes having my crotch shaved (what's left).  They prefer going in thru the arm but get the other prepped just in case.  After I'm all ready they wheel me in to the operating room. There are 4 surgical nurses there. One female (who disappeared behind a curtain to operate all the gismos and 3 male who are all my son's ages and incredibly handsome.

One, was particularly cute, with dark hair, tatoos, etc. He had to wipe me (ALL of me) down with alcohol and another got to put electrodes all over my chest. I told them this was a fantasy of mine but in a different time and circumstances.  They laughed....I wanted to die at that point.

Didn't die though, in fact no clogged arteries.  That's good news but it also means more tests (not good news).  None that include nudity. haha

Not only are the nurses young, my Dr. looks 12!  This is really the sad part of aging. When I was young the doctors were all old farts WTF!!

Starting again at 70!

Saying good bye to my sweet little cottage in the woods and heading back to Chicagoland from whence I came. I have come thru the tunnel and after counceling my PTSD is under control and I'm ready to move on.

Folks told me that it takes as long to get over a relationship as the actual relationship. I really don't have 32 years to  wait so ....ENOUGH ALREADY!

Lost my dear sweet puppy (and best friend of 17 years) along the way. He collapsed on the ground as we arrived at our destination.. Vet said he was surprised he lasted as long as he did and that he was probably waiting to make sure I was safely at my new home. I miss him so so much.

Think LIVING SINGLE AT 70! is a better name for this blog. I feel better than I have in years, and even tho I am financially in trouble, feeling extremely positive for what the next decade or 2 I have left with be.
