I'm Always Waiting, Waiting on You
I'm waiting now.
I finally saw a doctor on Saturday after four phone calls and a ridiculous amount of repeating myself in which I repeated myself some more. I've had my first EKG. As opposed to being told that having a higher resting heart rate (86 bpm at time of EKG) being normal for a small person, I was told that for someone who exercises as regularly as I do, my resting heart rate should be lower. They could find nothing wrong in the EKG though and told me not to be alarmed, particularly by the higher resting heart rate. But, since they couldn't identify what was wrong with me by talking to me, listening to my heart and the EKG, I was sent down to the lab for blood work.
Now, the waiting.
If something comes back in the blood work that is interesting/bad/points to the problem, I'll probably get a call be Wednesday or Thursday. If there is not an answer in the blood work, I'll get a letter in the mail...which is more waiting. But my figuring is that no call be Wednesday or Thursday means resume stimulant ingestion! (ie: I can start eating chocolate again Friday. What a shit-time to not be able to get chocolate in my system though)
Also, yay for Paco's baby! <3<3
Now I get the unenviable task of waking Braden up and getting ready for work. Booins.
