You know you want to become a pilot when ...

Hi folks,

rest vs. busy
stay in bed vs. move your apartment
don't use stairs vs. my room at the 2nd floor
don't raise overweight boxes vs. pack stuff into boxes and unpack them back at home

the text before vs. was the advise of the doctors after the research and test of my heart, last wednesday. The part after the vs. is what I did the last days, because I had to. I guess that's why I feel a bit tired now ... .
One may wonder: what the hell did they do? Well ... they connected cables trough my heart via the groins (they say it's the easiest way like that ...) and did some tests for about one hour. They made my heart beat faster and harder, but the hardest part was actually when they put the cables into my body. Even with 3 anaesthesias it could feel it quit well ! Thanksgod the doctor and assistants were very friendly. There was actually also a handsome assistant, maybe it was because of her that my heart beated that hard and fast ;-). The principle doctor told me everything was ok, so he wrote a report that stated my qualification to become an airline pilot. What a relief !!

Afterwards I had to lay in bed, totally flat, for about 3 hours. After those 3 hours I could get up, but as I was still a bit tired and felt groggy after standing up, I decided to stay in bed for another hour before trying to get up again.

another sleepy hour passed by when a doctor woke me up and told me that everything was fine. Normally, the research was going to be in the afternoon, but they managed to put me on the schedule in the morning, so I didn't have to spend the night in the hospital. At about 8 o'clock in the evening I could leave the hospital.

You know you want to become a pilot when ... you feel happy after such an examination, just because it saved my future plans and desk above the clouds :-)

I guess I'll spend a lot of time in my bed the next days, hopefully I can walk again "decent" next wednesday.
