At The HeartPlace Cardiac Clinic
Dallas, Texas - November 2002

Christine has been after me to submit something for Picture Yourself. Vanity originally made me want to submit something eye-catching (and cheesy!). But instead I decided to submit something more real. This is a pic of me at the cardiac clinic I go to for my heart condition. Here I am being monitored on an EKG (Electrocardiogram machine). My heartbeat is at 312 beats per minute. This was taken two seconds before I totally passed out, and was admitted to the hospital for emergency measures. It’s a situation that I’ve struggled with for over four years now.
