Health Issues

I got my results for my echocardiogram today. This was supposed to be a test that would "give me more peace of mind." Well...it didn't. The cardiologist reading the test found a small bright spot along the wall of the left atrium of my heart. They're not quite sure what to make of it. They think it's just a shadow because it showed up in only one view (the position from which the heart is photographed), but they're not a hundred percent sure that it's not a tumor. I have to wait three months and repeat the echocardiogram. So. Yeah. I get to play the waiting game. Again. My doctor also mentioned that they could do what's called a transesophagael echo where they put a scope down my esophagus to get a view from the back of my heart; however, it's pretty invasive. I would need to go in the hospital and be sedated. I'd also have to go off the Coumadin, and my doctor is loathe to do that. So...waiting to see if it changes it is.

This didn't show up in the echocardiogram they did at the hospital back in January and, as I mentioned before, it only showed up in one view, so I'm hoping that it's just a blip on their machine. Ordinarily, I'd be worried, but I'm so burned out from worrying the last time around that I can't anymore. This afternoon, I got bitchy instead, and now, I feel like I just don't care.

On a brighter note, last night I dreamt that David Bowie had come out of retirement and was doing a concert tour. Chicago was one of the locations. I was going about trying to get tickets when I woke up. Too bad it was only a dream. That concert would have been the bomb!
