Hmm..

Ok so firstly I would like to say I am completely bummed by the outcome of the election yesterday..

Now that is over...

I went to see Dr. Adinaro this morning. I will be starting my new medication today and going back next week for a EKG follow up to make sure the medication doesnt effect my heart rate in a bad way. He is going to contact the Mayo Clinic to see if they can get me in faster. He said he doubts it will take longer then a month for me to get in there. He has previous experience with them and while he does think Johns Hopkins is great he is more into Mayo. Soooo.. we shall see.

Now its time to lay down for a bit with my little cuddle bug.

Dr. A

Dr. Adinaro called just a few minutes ago. He didn't remember my appt was tomorrow. He wanted to see if I started the new medication which I haven't because i feel too crummy today to drive all the way down there and wait and all that fun stuff. So I will start the meds tomorrow if they have it in the pharmacy. He also asked if I wanted to up the dosage of one of my other medicines but I decided I didn't want to change too much too quickly. So we will see how this medicine works and then go from there..

g'night

Johns Hopkins Appt

They scheduling nurse just called. My appointment is February 18th!! Can you believe it?! She said I am on the cancellation list, however there are people ahead of me is what they told me yesterday. So pray hard that I will magically move to the top of the list and someone will cancel.

McCain/Palin 2008

So i voted. and it sucked lol!! I thought "its raining, all those working people wont want to get there work clothes all wet and muddy they will go later.." I was very wrong. Originally i had planned on going around 8 am.. Instead I went at 6:30.. I should have gone with my original plan! i waited an hour and half to vote. Got hit in the head half a dozen times by the umbrella of the guy behind me. Plus he kept moving the umbrella and all the water off of it dripped on my. I was pissed! I was also in a TON of pain. I was in pain before I went but figured I would go vote and then come home and be in bed by 730 and take a nap. Sadly, I have still not taken a nap and it is almost 930. My groin hurts from the heart cath. Im not supposed to be standing on it for that long so yeaaa.. So with that, my chest and being hit int he head im hurting and tired and happily drugged now that I am home.

That is probably why i am rambling so much.. So im going to shut up and watch TV until my mom calls to tell me that Jake's nose had be cauterized and then go to bed..

later :)

btw.> GO VOTE!

::EDIT @ 12:42PM :: Jake is a baby and didn't have his nose cauterized...

Good News & Bad News

(GOOD NEWS) A nurse from the Johns Hopkins heart clinic called this morning. While they are going to have to call me for more information she called to tell me what a consult consists of.
First they do a cardiac MRi, which I will not have done unless my other test show that I need one. This is because of my defibrillator, I can not have an MRI done with out previous tests to make sure that it is safe to turn off my defibrillator.
Second, they will do an EKG that takes 20-30 minutes, which is INSANE compared to the fact that every time I go to the cardiologist I have an EKG done that lasts about 10 seconds.
Third, The will do an extensive ECHO that takes approximately 3 hours, which again is INSANE compared to the ones I normally have that last 45minutes to an hour.
(BAD NEWS) After the tests are done then I will meet the doctor. This is all done in one day which is nice but then she tells me that they wont be able to get me in until after the first of the year!! She said it would be around the end of January! I started to cry, i dont think I can last being in pain that long. If by chance there is an opening they will call me, thought they have a long list of people who would like an earlier appointment. She said most people wait for a few months to get in.
This is really hard for me because when we did this process years ago, it moved really fast and then got canceled.
So now I have to decide what to do about work, because getting disability isnt going well so far I may have to work to pay the bills, which is going to suck but atleast I will have something to do. If i go back to work it will be strictly part time, like 7am-11am Monday-Friday. The only bad thing about this is that the hotel is AWFUL! It is even worse then when I left 2 weeks ago. Its hard because the hotel is such a stressful place to be. I was there for maybe 30 minutes earlier today and I wanted to shoot myself. Its just awful!
So please pray that things will work out. I really want a new job but don't feel right getting a new job when I could have to leave for a long period of time.
I am still going to my cardiologist wednesday, so we will see if I am even allowed to work (a LARGE part of me hopes he says no!).

That is my update with what I know now.. More later!! :)
