For someone who might be listening
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but, "Hallelujah."

Waiting for results
The biopsy went smoothly enough. I look like I have a hickey now, no joke!
Cecil was there with me through it all. Still, he means well but....
After I made the post this morning, I went and curled up next to Cecil. He was still sleeping. I asked if he minded me curling up with him. He nodded and I crawled up onto the bed. He was sleeping, ( Read more... ) -
Biopsy Day
I leave for the biopsy in about an hour and a half. I've been nervous about it, putting a good face on it, but honestly, I'm scared breathless.
to make matters worse, there is just no one who can give me the type of support I need. Cecil gives great reassurance. Nikki pretends nothing is happening. What I need is someone to hold me, let me be ( Read more... ) -
One More Week
I go in for the biopsy in one more week. I've done well at not thinking about up to now. The time has flown by though, and here I am.
(side note : I'm giving up on using initials instead of names. If anyone is stalker enough to try finding me and all the people I know, they have much bigger issues. As for J/Jesse, and T/Tessia, their paranoia ( Read more... ) -
Still waiting.
I can't get the biopsy done until the 15th of October. Yay for medical care. It's not even Obama care. It's just the way shit works now thanks to the insurance companies ( Read more... ) -

I can't think.
fuck.

Final thoughts on my time in the hospital
My mind keeps running back to Wed night and the moment the doctors decided I was showing too many symptoms of a heart attack to be sent home. I won't lie, I was pretty terrified. Yes, if you're going to have a heart attack, the hospital is the place to be. Still, hospital or not, a heart attack can easily be fatal ( Read more... ) -
Home and still no answers.
I was sent home yesterday afternoon with no answers and at least one medical impossibility.
All the doctors could tell me was that my mitral valve prolapse has magically healed itself. It's a congenital defect. I've had it my entire life. It was diagnosed with a heart cath several years ago. Yes, I believe in miracles, but seriously, the ( Read more... ) -
Hospital stay is no fun.
I'm in the hospital right now. I came in from work yesterday. I spent the day in the ER and then got admitted last night.
They keep running the test for cardiac enzymes and one of the techs said that it was to be sure that the troponin levels were trending in the right direction.
Troponin is what gets released into your blood when you have a ( Read more... )
