DEVELOPMENT!

That was a long freaking day of tests!

8:20 am: Blood work
8:45 am: Chest X-Ray
9:20 am: Electrocardiogram
10:00 am: Echocardiogram
11:15 am: Consult with Dr. Cetta

It all went pretty straightforward and smooth, though I could never be comfortable going to somewhere so huge as Mayo as my primary care facility. I felt way too much like cattle among the hordes of other people.

So, did we learn anything today? Absolutely. Cetta said that he doesn't think we need to do a balloon angioplasty and stent. That said, they're still gonna cut me open and insert a catheter in my aorta and measure some stuff.

Regardless, any time someone tells me I'm in better health than all parties involved previously believed is quite fine with me.

*EDIT: Huh. Is someone trying to hack my account? I just got the email with login information. . . If anyone out there thinks this blog account is worth hacking, I assure you it's not.
