Buzzy has given permission for us to talk to his Doctor, and he's told us that the heart repair they did to a heart valve was a success, but he still has atrial fibrillation, an irregular beating of the heart that can cause strokes, shortness of breath, and other complications. They've got him on a blood thinner to help prevent strokes, but he does have serious shortness of breath and venal insufficiency problems in his legs that prevents him from walking or standing very much. The Doctor told us Buzzy's not in good enough shape to go through any more procedures for a while, so they're keeping a close watch on him and keeping him in the assisted care facility.
Buzzy's got his health on his mind and sings about his irregular heart rhythms in his latest song. His voice is more hoarse than normal, and we're not sure why. Maybe he's just been talking too much! You get him going, and he can talk a long time! We asked the Doctor if he really told Buzzy to eat bacon and eggs and he said yes he did. Buzzy's body fat percentage is so low and he eats so little that the protein and fat won't hurt him. They monitor his sodium intake and allow for the sodium content in the bacon in his diet.
Well, the Doc fixed me up good
Yes, he fixed me up right good
But my ticker is weak
Treatments they seek
The Doc shore did the best he could
Cain't walk but a little bit
Can only walk a little bit
The truth of it is
Can still git up to piss
So I can sorta live with it
My heart's jest plain all wore out
Abused myself how it came about
Drinkin' snortin' smokin' too
What the hell else would it do?
So far I'm not feelin' bad
Ain't feelin' the blues too bad
Don't eat much, never did
Even when I were a kid
Best damn place I ever had
I git up each day early
Yeah, git up each day early
Stand on rickety legs
Doc said eat bacon and eggs
Delivered by a cute girly
My heart still got palpitations
Goes nuts with palpitations
Doc says jest take it easy, man!
Keep ya goin' long as we can!
