Man, the Deadwood<\/em> mini-marathon tonight got awkward. Friends first took great efforts coax me out of a chair onto the couch. They then remarked that I looked tired and uncomfortable and was something the matter, Jeremy?<\/p>\n

Instead of walking them through the long answer, I kicked up my feet on the coffee table, made a joke, and we went back to watching. They didn\u2019t pry, yet it\u2019s unlikely they bought it.<\/p>\n

Not sure I would have bought it if I were in their socks either, but a lot of people can attest to the fact that I am never at ease when watching serious drama. The story sucks me in, and not in a relaxing way. My posture reflects that involvement. Often, as I get older, I simply stand while watching.<\/p>\n

Yet they were right about a few things: I am tired and something appears to be wrong. I\u2019m tired because I haven\u2019t been sleeping well. The unrest is probably related to ongoing issues with my heart.<\/p>\n

The short of it is that several weeks ago my heart took off running. Though it was eventually calmed, it hasn\u2019t felt right in my chest since. It misses beats. It gets worked up over very minor things. It just feels odd. Odder still, it seems to handle major exertions just fine.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done some serious tests and, so far, nothing has bubbled up. Yet it does not feel right beating there, so more probing is called for after the doctor\u2019s appointment Monday morning. And prayer, I suppose. If any readers are so inclined, have at it.<\/p>\n
