    The Apprentice

    I signed my brother up for the show. He got all the way to getting interviewed, and then decided he didn't want to. Of course, he likes living at home working as a roofer at 24. Jennifer Arianna Frances

  12. I gotta change my avatar back to my cat. Everyone keeps confusing me with Jen Garner (ALIAS, on ABC Sundays at 9 EST). Of course, I look just like her, so the confusion is understandable Like her, I know how to kill someone 5 different ways too Jennifer Arianna Frances
  13. Disclaimer: I have a heart condition that can cause me to go into ventrical fibrillation (VF). Its genetic and I have an internal defibrillator/pacemaker (ICD) for it. I have never shown any signs of it, but got my ICD becuase I had a family member die of the same thing. So this may/may not be of use to you. I went on a tandem in September, without telling my doctor to see how I would do. I did fine. Contingent on him allowing me to continue to skydive he had me wear a holter monitor (24 hour monitor) on my third tandem. Had he done this for my second tandem the results I'm sure would have been disasterous, as I was very nervous and scared - but felt fine physically. The results came back unremarkable. I work out most every day, so my resting rate is about 70 bpm. But the results were as follows: For 7 minutes my hr was between 180 - 190 bpm (device is set to fire at 210 - which would be hard, physically, for me to get to. So it would only get thre if there was something wrong), which is the rate I normally get to on the treadmill/eliptical trainer. During that time frame only twice did it get above 184, which is very high for me, and lasted for only a few seconds (becuase this is constantly recording I don't know at what point during the dive these were). Ironically, I went in for a download recently (they download info off the ICD for the previous 6 months) and I had a new technician do it. This is my second ICD, and this device is fairly new (got it in June of last year), and this was my first download. It recorded 72 events!! I was floored. I told him there had to be something wrong with the ICD! There was no way I had even had one event as I never had any problems! I was getting seriously pissed off, becuase I don't want to give my dr. any reason to not allow me to skydive. As it turns out the device starts to record after 172, which I routinely get to with exercise. But just to be sure the tech had to call my dr. and ask him if it was ok to change the settings on the device (so it only records when it gets to 183). Anyway, he was gone for a little while, and came back into the room and said "ya, dr. kirk said its ok to change the setting.... he wants to know if you've been doing too much skydiving lately." Ya, I got a good hearty laugh out of that one. I'd be interested in studies that look further into this though. Jennifer Arianna Frances
