Ups and Downs of the week.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Getting sick over the holidays\u00c2\u00a0– I spent Christmas Day and the next day in the cardiac unit at UCONN medical center. We were visiting Sarah’s parents for the holidays and I had been feeling quite ill for a few days. On Christmas Day it was bad enough\u00c2\u00a0for me to have Sarah’s\u00c2\u00a0father take me to the ER. They thought my symptoms could<\/em> be indicative of a heart problem, so they insisted I stay overnight and they ran a bunch of tests. Turns out it\u00c2\u00a0isn’t my heart, but the problem is still not completely gone. I’ll follow up with my regular doctor later this week.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Great doctors\u00c2\u00a0– While I wasn’t happy about spending two days in the hospital, I was very glad to have the great docs at UCONN medical center working on me. They were very attentive and left no stone unturned in making sure I was not going to suffer a heart attack. Glad to know my heart is in such good shape. They could have given me a quick once-over and told me to take an antacid and sent me home, but they were very concerned and it showed. Much thanks to the doctors, nurses, and technicians\u00c2\u00a0at UCONN who gave up their Christmas to help folks like me.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks also to Sarah’s parents, who were understanding and supportive throughout the ordeal. The fact that I dampened their Christmas doesn’t faze them in the least. They’re good people. No surprise considering how special their daughter is.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0New England Patriots\u00c2\u00a0– Ok, so they’re out of the playoffs. They still played way above everyone’s expectations and only because of the division they’re in are they not playing into the post-season with an 11-5 record. Major kudos to Matt Cassel. He deserves a big, fat paycheck and a starting job next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
