heart stoppage
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night; it was total nightmare movie style. I shot up from a deep sleep, just sat up and looked around. I was convinced my heart had stopped. It was so bizarre...I literally clutched at my chest trying to feel my heart beat...and I couldn't. So I felt my pulse, it was there. I felt my chest - no heartbeat. I was half asleep and my heart seemed to have stopped, so naturally I had like a panic attack. I rolled over and threw my arms around Keith, he was still there, and he was breathing. Then I found my cat curled on my pillow, put my ear to his fur and heard his purring.
Then I felt my chest and I swear to you, no heartbeat.
I can feel it now just fine.
I'm convinced my heart stopped beating last night.

It happens sometimes to the best of us. I've died several times...it always resumes, but it's like a re-set button gets pushed on the computer and you re-boot.
yikes. I had a dream the other night that I had to have major surgery somewhere in my chest and I had to drive myself to the hospital in a go cart that I almost wrecked. I remember feeling really scared about ther surgery though. If its any consolation, when I try to feel my heart on my chest I feel nothing. It could be the hair or something. Eek, I've gone too far. Aye yi yi...
