POTS - Seriously?

My local cardiologist and EP Cardiologist seem to think I have some sort of autonomic nervous system disorder (POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is why my heart rate fluctuates between 60 and 130 with simple position changes.

An appointment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center Dysfunction Autonomic Center is being set up for me in the upcoming weeks.

I'm currently taking meds to stabilize the heart rate and exercising to strengthen lower body muscle and vascular resistance so the heart won't have to pump so hard to meet the physical demands of just "standing up". Something as simple as getting out of bed, standing after sitting in a chair or walking to the sink to brush your teeth can cause severe dizziness, elevated heart rate, fainting, nausea - and I've experienced them all (except fainting).

But God desires that we call those things that be not, as though they were. (Romans 4:17).

So today I ask you to join me in rebuking any sickness, infirmity or disorders of any kind in my body. I'm claiming optimal health, longevity, peace of mind, love of my family, fellow man and my Lord and Savior. - Amen and Thank you :')

Missed The Google Pagerank Update!

Way back when I blogged obsessively about backlinks, increasing your readership, and other little tips to help you blog better. I found it kind of rewarding to share with people all the things I'd learned about blogging over the years.

But writing about the same boring stuff day after day... post after post wasn't rewarding at all. I wanted to talk about my life, my dreams, my divorce, my struggles. So, I chunked the I think I'm an SEO genius cap for a more suitable one - just being me.

But....

I still get excited whenever I hear or see that Google has updated website/blog pageranks. To most it doesn't mean much but I love watching that little green meter grow. Unless you're into selling advertising space or competing in a certain niche to be the #1 site... it really isn't that big of a deal.

I'm just weird like that. So, with all that being said/typed.... Congratulations to me. I went from a pagerank of 3 to 4. Yay!!!

Did anyone else notice any change?
