Tarmac Meditations #134: Eying the Long Run

Home at last, arm in a sling. The ablation procedure went so well that the docs had a clear view of some other stuff: “so how about we put in a pacemaker… for long-term success?”

I’m all about long-term these days I said with way more calm than I actually felt. Not too long after that, my new sling and I emerged from the electro-physio lab and home we went walking with a steady step and enjoying the fine companionship of my brother-in-law Jerry Adler and my sister Beth Lebowitz. I might add that my heartbeat was and is steady today. When we got there, I hit the couch, held tight to my unexpected tears and watched while Jerry and Beth put together beef stew and vegetables for the days ahead while I recover.

My little house was alive with family, laughter and food.
