One person’s desperate foolish hopeful attempt to make you laugh by providing endless hours minutes seconds of laughter. Trying to bring some nonsensical, occasionally relevant, boldly irreverent not too hurtful (I have liticaphobia), touchingly personal, or any other type of humor that I can write. Lastly, here’s hoping you laugh.

My time with a Holter Monitor



A few years ago, I had a medical issue and the doctors thought something might be wrong with my heart (if you want your heart rate to increase, worry about your heart failing). The doctors decided to have me wear a holter monitor. For those of you who do not know this is a monitor that has electrodes taped to your chest in order to get a 24 hour viewing of your heart. If you have hair there that needs to be shaved. My shaved/unshaved chest made a smiley face. You cannot shower with this on because you will be electrocuted. You are medically approved to smell terrible for 24 hours (Smell that coworkers). The electrodes are connected to a beeper looking like device which can be attached to your belt because that was the way to carry a beeper in the 1980s. The wires run from your chest to outside your shirt making you look like a human video game. In the end, there was nothing wrong with me and the taped electrodes gave me a free partial wax. Don't worry before I went to the beach I taped googly eyes on my chest.
