All this talk of technical medical science went right over my head. I mean I understood some of the words. The smaller ones at least. I now have the same glazed expression that people do when I tell them I'm an accountant and that it is fun and exciting.

The large portion of the reason I ended up in a large awd suv is having been stuck in DC traffic between them and being harassed for years on end.*
Second reason is to be able to have 4 teenagers and my daughter in there for car pooling, but having established reason 1 above, I was going to get a large awd suv anyway, but still, at least the third row seating got used till Covid shut schools down, so that’s something.
My gripe is with the drivers that drive 10 mph on Georgia Avenue, centering the lane divider (white lane, and once the double yellows) just because there’s a dusting of snow on the asphalt.
* Previous car’s roof line was below the window start line of many SUVs. Sigh, I do miss that car.

Smaller vehicles with studded tires are the shiznit.

On January 23rd I was admitted to the hospital with A Fib that happened on my ride. Thankfully, I only got two miles out when it hit the fan. Luckily the way back was flat to downhill. After 18 hours in the hospital, I converted naturally to a regular rhythm and was discharged in the afternoon.
I'm on a blood thinner and beta blocker and am wearing a monitor until Feb 11. I have a stress test on 2/17 and a follow up with the cardiologist to go over the monitor and stress test results on 3/17. The stress test is chemical (Speed or similar)and they will be looking at my heart as it happens.
The good thing is I am considered a low risk but am looking forward to the results so I know what lies ahead for me and what changes and limits I'll have.
I've been processing this for a week+ and haven't posted until i had my follow up yesterday and got some more information. I left the hospital pretty much in the dark which is bizarre. It's not like I was the first person to be diagnosed. Something like "you've been diagnosed with A Fib here are the 10 things you need to know" Alas, no dice.
In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "that's all I've got to say about that."

Slow night. Everyone must be trying to figure out how your BasketVols went 12 minutes in the second half without a FG. Oof.

A lot can happen in a few months. Your bike could start shifting funny, then the only logical thing to do it replace it.

The spoke is replaced and ready to roll for tomorrow 
....but it was one of those increasingly involved repairs.
First, the nipple had to be fished out of the rim; it wasn't magnetic, so I resigned myself to removing and the rim tape when a few minutes worth of jiggling didn't free the nipple.
Then I found that both the brake rotor and the cassette were interfering with lacing the spoke through the hub eyelet, so I had to remove both (having to dig up a T-25 for the 6-bolt rotor).
Got the spoke laced and tensioned and the tire trued easily enough.
Cleaned up the rim bed for the new tape and slapped that on. Reinstalled tire and tube. Reinstalled cassette and rotor. Popped the wheel back in and DONE!
Well, not quite. Somehow, during this whole process, the rotor alignment changed significantly - pushing in the pistons wasn't enough, so I had to reposition the calipers. In that process, I discovered that whomever designed the Haanjo was an idiot and didn't leave very much clearance for one of the caliper fasteners. None of my halfway decent tools would fit, so I had to rummage through the toolbox for one of those cheapie L-shaped Allen wrenches.
So yeah, what should have been a quick job ballooned and took almost a 1/4 of a Velo Vol bar wrapping session.

My problems may have had a lot to do with overdoing it on fast rides. Plus, I am a bad stress manager.

I'm on a blood thinner and beta blocker and am wearing a monitor until Feb 11. I have a stress test on 2/17 and a follow up with the cardiologist to go over the monitor and stress test results on 3/17. The stress test is chemical (Speed or similar)and they will be looking at my heart as it happens.
The good thing is I am considered a low risk but am looking forward to the results so I know what lies ahead for me and what changes and limits I'll have.
I've been processing this for a week+ and haven't posted until i had my follow up yesterday and got some more information. I left the hospital pretty much in the dark which is bizarre. It's not like I was the first person to be diagnosed. Something like "you've been diagnosed with A Fib here are the 10 things you need to know" Alas, no dice.
In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "that's all I've got to say about that."
