Most of you who know me, know that I tend to work. I’m not sure why other then it’s how I identify myself. I am a fixer. It’s what I do, and it’s what I am good at. Frankly what is comes down to it is almost have the dying urge to solve problems. It’s going to be the death of me literally.
A few weeks ago now, I had some sharp pains in my arm and chest, yeah I know what you are thinking. Well I recovered and brushed it off. After a few weeks of people asking if something was wrong with me etc, I finally sat down with Brandi. Come to find out, it seems that I had been slurring my words, loosing my train of though even more and other various examples, all of which I am not seeing myself. So this kinda took me by surprise.
So I went to my normal Dr, who did all the normal probing tests etc. She indicates that she thinks I might have had a minor heart attack. At 32 years old? So she then recommended me to a heart specilist. Well I saw him yesterday and he thinks I might have had a stroke. I got back in for more tests and more tests on Monday the 15th. The idea is to find the root cause and get it fixed. Not sure how well that will be accomplished, but you have to have faith in your Dr’s which I do.
However it has caused me to think about life and family a bit. Back to that working too much thing… Orange-Hat is going out of business, well for the most part. I need to slow down which we all know. I have transferred all of my major consulting customers except 3 customers. I need to keep a few to have some fun with.
I am going to be scaling back on my service offerings, but will try and grow in a few areas where my heart really is. The question is… will I be able to stick with it.
