Most engineers are OCD. I sure am and could have never accomplished what I did if I weren't.
That's a fact, when OCD is used like a tool for passion at the workplace it can lead to productive accomplishments.
When the obsessions and compulsions get out of control they can dominate a person's life to the point of physical exhaustion and mental decline.
I was shocked when I learnt of the extent of habit that some OCD people will go to. It's unbelievable!

@Gray Wolf <-- Just saw this ^^^^^ I have good news and informative news:

Good news:

1. The Eliquis blood thinner works great (been on it for many years) -- this will minimize the blood-clot hazard from the Afib you have. I am ten years ahead of you and still here.

2. You can forget what your heart rate is shown on the meters. This is because the extra bumps your "forever gonna have it" Afib causes your meter to drop the ball. Dead still resting for me and the meter says my HR is anywhere from (I am reading my records here) 111 Beats to 64 beats taken five minutes apart. This is four years of readings I am referring to. So forget that reading; it is bogus. Oh. And MySonTheDoctor told me this.

3. Your BP can be easily controlled. I dunno of Metoprolol, and that may work. If it does, it will work right away within a couple of days. Once more MSTD recommended to my physician that Carvedilol be prescribed. My BP this morning (at the doctor's office) was 105/66. <-- YAY. So if your BP does NOT get to a level satisfactory to you in, say, a week, check with your doctor re: Carvedilol.

Informative news:

1. You are done with alcohol of any kind.

2. Caffeine (DeCaf has caffeine) in any form is verboten. Coca-Cola, Tea, etc <-- Never to be touched again.

3. Weed is not only OK, it helps your particular condition. <-- TINS, Pilgrim

4. Play dumshit and think you can rise over Numbers 1 & 2 from time to time and you will not last long. I was born in 1940, and I have all the same problems you have -- And mine are in control, with me still happy and active (I have shot my crossbow today because I wanted to see if there was a drift in the targeting at the arctic 42F it is out there. Nope: I could put an arrow in your eye and out the back of your skull at 150 feet.) Anyway, due to Big, Boo, and Subbie -- I am having a hell of a good time** and living the dream.

** Something you can have a decade from now... providing you alter your lifestyle as described above. Now, 'scuse me -- Lumpy The Peacock is tapping at my window... He wants dinner.
Thank you brother Walt! Good to know about the machine pulse rate reading!

I appreciate the information and wonder how you got a decade ahead of me in three years. Do I infer it was a rough three years?

I never liked Sylvias mother, and that operator was a bitch.


do you know if Sylvia had a brother named Silvio?..


I can snap my fingers and require the rain
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
Charm the whistle off an evening train

Silvio, silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio, I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know
