I saw my Heart MD today and required to wear this mobile defibrillator for 90 more days. I was ordered not to perform, do any type of manual labor, stay out of the heat, and not lift or carry anything over 10 pounds. He wants me to have open heart surgery and I have refused for my own personal reasons which are not up for discussion at all. In 90 days I must have a new heart scan and have a defibrillator put in (depending on the test results). I can not have my Rotator Cuff repaired at this time or in the near future. OK... it is what it is... and I will just have to put up with the pain that no one else feels... I also recall 1982 and the Worlds Fair. I was in a wheelchair for a year from surgeries and was told not to perform. I refused then, and I refuse to obey my Heart MDs orders from earlier today. He laughed and said he knew that would be my answer. So I am continuing to perform and never giving up the love of my life. I keep this picture in my wallet as a reminder to me, that I have to decide what is best for me... and never stop what makes me happy and she is the love of my life. Giving up music is not an option I will ever consider. I will limit where I perform, (obviously, working in the heat is out and/or lifting gear is out too)... But to stop playing? Sorry Doc, I will not give up music and I have the last word as it is my life and my choice... I am ready to move on... adapt, and be happy with what I can do. I did not spend my entire life playing music or give her up now. You can tell me I am crazy... I tell you, at least I am happy and have the love of my life too... I have no fear of death and I told my Doctor that also. It is, what it is... I will not quit what I love and that is my last word on the subject. He told me I am pig headed and I have been called worse. Well >>> Its my life
