Ice Pillow [Contest Finalists December 2017]
Uploaded: December 07, 2017 13:24:33 | Entered: December 08, 2017 12:07:30
Taken in November 2006 when wife and I spent 10 days on the Tundra Buggy Lodge to view Polar Bears. I have recently had some heart rhythm problems, saw Cardiologist in San Antonio 12/5/17 and will have to see electrophysiologist (specialist in heart rhythm disturbances) in Jan 2018. Will be starting on $$$$$ expensive blood thinners very soon to prevent strokes. Have been a little busy lately and hope to catch up soon. Have Happy Holidays.

I am so sorry to hear about your cardiac problems Emile! I have had defibrillator for the last seven years, and thankfully it has not had to fire me up again! I hope all goes well for you! This is a nice MT image as well!
