Colonoscopy

For all a-fibbers worried about what effects a colonoscopy would have on a-fib, mine turned out to be a success. It was done on Friday and of course I worried needlessly about going into a-fib. In fact, I spoke directly to my heart, telling it to behave! It did. However, I developed hives the day after the procedure – probably from anesthesia or other drugs. There’s always something!

I'm curious. When you spoke to your heart, did you do it because Jesus said, "speak to the mountain and it should obey you?" Thanks.
