Personal Update

I had an attack of atrial fibrilation (a really bad one) on Friday… that means the top part of the heart beats so fast the bottom can’t keep up… if it goes on for very long you can get a blood clot that can travel through your body and do some serious damage.

What makes this really odd is that I understand Tony Blake, a well-known marketer from the Tony Blake Forum at www.ablake.net/forum had an attack of the same thing on the same day

Very odd indeed and we need to send our prayers out for Tony’s speedy recovery.

The condition is brought out by stress and lack of rest…. and it gets worse as you get older.

This is the worst attack I’ve had in more than 5 years.

It was very sobering to sit there in the emergency room with tubes sticking out of my veins and about 2 dozen wires hooked to my body.

All the travel lately, stressed out over all the stuff I have to do (and planned to do), combined with the worry over my sister in-law having a heart attack last week just kind of came to a head this past week.

My doctor says no travel for a month and I need to take it very easy (not a bad deal since he said video games are ok)… so I had to cancel a trip to the World Internet Summit LA and a trip to Atlanta.

What made it a little scarier was that we are over here at the new house and didn’t know where the hospital was… but our neighbor hauled us up there lickety split… faster than an ambulance could get to us way out here in the country.

God and I have come to an understanding… I’m gonna work in a less stressed manner and smarter… and I’m gonna stop to smell the roses a little more than I have been.

Anyway… that’s what happened to me this past weekend.

On a happier note… my sister-in-law, Evelyn Kirby, is recovering at home from her heart attack

Thanks everyone for all the prayers and support… it REALLY helped and we’re very grateful.

Have a great week!
