Back in the gorram hospital I go....
Sunday, July 31, 2005 11:52 PM
(Insert appropriate Mandarin curse here)Still had a little weirdness going on post cardiac cath/stents 2 months ago, so I had a stress test. I was really hoping it was just going to prove that I really am a hypochondriac, and all was ok...no such luck. Still showing an area of blockage, and it was less than before, but still "significant" (whatever the hell that means).
I was really, really imagining this was going to involve having a bypass this time, but doc recommended another catheterization. Well, I guess that's better than the dreaded "B" word, but still a piece of go se. The worst part is the giant C-clamp they use on your leg afterward for about half and hour...hurts like a bitch and made me start to pass out last time. And then not being able to sit up for several hours. Makes peeing very hard....
I'll be off work for a week because of driving restrictions, so at least I can hopefully work on some D*C costuming stuff while I'm stuck here, but that means I need to pull it all out of the boxes tomorrow and do the shopping I need, since I can't lift either.
What a PITA....sorry to vent, but I'm just too gorram young for this, and can't figure out how it got so bad so fast. Especially when I had really been taking care of myself lately!
Oh, well, I should be able to make D*C, and that's what matters right now....Maybe won't be as buff and organizized as I was hoping to be by then, but at least I'll make it....And I'll still be on this side of the dirt, and that's a good thing too.
