Hang in there, Mike. I personally know addictions can be beaten. I've been sober for 38 years.

Bill

You are very welcome, Don. I love to help when I can.

Bill

Again, thanks so much for the exposure, Ann. I've posted the link on Facebook already.

Bill

Thanks, everyone. I'll have more info on Tuesday when I talk with my cardiologist. Ablation is one option on the table. It's supposed tos top most cases of irregular heart rate. I might opt for it.

And now, this morning, as I expected, the Atrial Fibrillation hit me at 6AM as I fed the cat. I've gone through this twice before, the feeling like a small rodent is trying to bet out of my chest. I got dressed and drove to the ER on the base and they hooked me to an ECG machine, verifying what I told them: Yup, you have A-Fib.

An hour later, they stuck foam plates to my back and chest, lay me back and pushed Katamine into my IV.

Oh, Wow!. I can hear colors and feel sounds. Visuals ran from deep black thourgh various shades, a la 2001, to bright white. Beeps from machines sounded like low-note foghorns in the mist. It turns out, Ketamine is chemically related to PCP, the drug of the sixties.

Boy, did I get a ride. I'm fine now. Back in sinuous rhythm with great BP and pulse rate.

I don't reccommend the drug.

There is a little lag time between posting and becoming visible, Christine. You can make it pop up immediately by re-publishing the chapter to your chosen group. Sometimes, it's a simple matter of logging out and back in. Or, you can clear your browser cache and reload the home page.

I'm about ready to do the same, Dirk. If you're not interested in dogs, cats, cars or how stupid Trump is, then there's nothing but a vast wasteland in Facebook.

Bill

Right you are, MJ. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a newcomer to TNBW take the offered advice and improve his or her writing. I've seen it myself many times.

I am always open for grammar, syntax, spelling and other corrections to my own posts. I thrive on them, actually, as they sometimes add an aspect of thinking I hadn't seen before. I've ben known to change a whole scene based on a suggestion.

Bill

Some day, I hope to finish my silly SF story The Cat and Her Ship. Maybe some day...

Bill

I feel for you, man. I agreed to sit at a table in my local library for two hours in a "meet an author" mode. I sold a total of one book to the fifteen people who passed my table and inquired why I was sitting there. Unless you're a famous NYT Best Seller author, it doesn't pay.

Bill

Welcome to the site, Ilsa. I've left a review as well. It's hard to follow a good review from MJ, but I tried.
