Is this really *my* life? More great news!!!!
Went to my heart surgeon and found out I won’t have to have another heart surgery! Oh Yeah!
YES! YES! YES!
I left that place with a spring in my step, doing the Black Panther “power fist” in the air.
The month of my being on the Holt Monitor again showed the problem they couldn’t induce during the last surgery, but we talked and decided the problem wasn’t bothering me enough right now for another surgery. ChaChing. That saves around $30,000. Medicare pays almost all of that, but still. I hate to be sucking that much out of Medicare, twice.
Oddly, my heart may be bothering me less because the dentist removed one of my back teeth that had been infected - apparently for eons, underneath a filling. Yes, those throbbing tooth pains all these years were real. You don’t say!
He also said that since my heart did not freak out during the surgery, but much later on - for a solid two months - that means there is something REALLY, stressing my body out. Learning that is a mixed blessing. On the plus side - It means that whatever is causing me to feel so goddamned lousy all the time has been shown to be there, they just haven’t figured it out yet. On the minus side - They haven’t figured it out yet.
So, Apostrophe and I go out to celebrate. And, seriously -
- This is a true story -
When we get home, I walk into my bathroom, and right there in the kitty box is a happy little smiley face - made of poop.
Even the cat poop is smiling at me!
Hand to God!!
