Today I celebrate my life and health and existence!

When my family (and friends) got hit with a gastrointestinal virus last month, we were vomiting profusely, and I had to go to the ER for an IV. It was one of the sickest moments of my life.

On day 5 I ended up having depleted potassium and magnesium levels and it led to a NSVT (non-sustained ventricular tachycardia) for about 15 seconds. It's a serious life-threatening event when your body doesn't have the nutrients it needs (after vomiting for a week).

Good news is I went for an echocardiogram, multiple EKGs, and yesterday a treadmill heart stress test.

Well I got the results back today and they say I'm in perfect shape! They say I've made a full recovery and can go back to strenuous exercise and that my heart is beating well and strong! I no longer have to take beta blockers and my life can go back to normal. No heart arrhythmias, no NSVT while I was on the strenuous heart treadmill test, and that my heart is the perfect shape and functioning perfectly.

I can feel the stress leaving my body. I'm so glad I take such good care of myself. You can buy almost anything in this world but you can't necessarily by tip-top shape/health. Anyways, this morning has been an amazing gift as I can return to normal life and now I know that my heart is in amazing shape! In fact they say my heart is one of the better hearts they've seen and that it was just an isolated incident due to extreme vomiting and a lack of nutrients.

Don't take your health for granted, don't wait until you have a health incident to take care of yourself. The better your health today, the better end of life you'll have also.
