Media that Barks: Show them... Don't tell them.

The last week in my life was completely crazy. After my night class on Monday night I ran to the store to get some groceries for the week. Sure enough, I get a flat tire. An inconvenience, but not the end of the world. I jacked my car up and started to take the nuts off, but they were put on too tight, I couldn't get them off. My friend who has AAA called them for me. Once the AAA man finally came, he couldn't get them off either. Even with his big rig! Two hours later I called for a ride home and let my car sit in the parking lot.

I had my car toed to the auto mechanic on Tuesday where they pulled a file from my tire. I had to get a brand new tire. Simple-- problem solved! sigh.

As I was running around from school, to the auto repair shop and working, I got a call from my step mom. Last Friday my dad went in to have a calcium scan done on his heart. His scores came back extremely high and was recommended that he come back for more tests. He was hesitant since he had plans to head to Mexico that Sunday.

His results were eye opening. In some of his veins, they were blocked up to 99%. Wednesday he went in for open heart surgery. My dad is in good health. He is at a healthy weight, doesn't have high blood pressure or cholesterol, never smoked and exercises... Heart disease can happen to anyone. Be kind to your ticker! Since is in such good health, he is recovering really well. I'm just so grateful that he made it and has a heart of a 21 year old now. So many more years on this earth!

I thought I'd show you my craziness. And really, it's not that crazy. It's just life and it's pretty sweet.
