Feeling Confined

Yesterday, after a week of recording the Pres' numbers, we went to the Cardiologist.  The nurse had done an EKG and it was apparent to me that something was wrong, yet the Pres did not see it.

Entering the room with his welcoming grin, The Good Doctor asked, So, how are you feeling?

The Pres replied Good.

Sighing, The Good Doctor responded, Well, your EKG shows you're back in A Fib.  

Sitting in silent observation, I glanced at the Pres.  It was heartbreaking to see the look on his face...just heartbreaking!  Leaning in toward the The Good Doctor, I said in a whisper, He's really disappointed, can you tell?

When you left the hospital last week your heart rate was normal.  I know this is not what we hoped for so we will increase the medication for four days, then resume the original dose and I'll see you at the hospital next week for another "shock."

The Pres, who appeared crushed, said, Oh...and I was going to ask you if my restrictions could be lifted.

Unfortunately no...said The Good Doctor.
