I scheduled the thing: ON-X

Published March 31st, 2022 in 2022, hearts | No Comments »

Uhhhhhh. That's pretty much the sigh I'd love to make. This is actually maybe not going to be as easy as I suggested, just given the situation and the possible outcomes. Again, the goal every day is maximum nutrients, maximum practice of good behavior. No drinking, limited sugar (but I love those cream puffs, so), specific diet inclusions. I'm taking estrogen for the hot flashes, and msm to help alleviate the inflammation. Today is almost 7 weeks from entry so today yoga restarts-I'm gonna start slow. Also, 10k steps a day I can do, but this heart ain't great, the gradient he said was a 44 or 48 was it? I have no idea, honestly I don't care-I know this needs to be done, and I plan on being a hero, at least. I hope this doesn't end up being some sad statement referred back to as some kind of legacy agreement where I end up referred back to when people find this in a few years. That would suck.

So I am doing the things you'd do if you had some notice of certain obstacles-I contacted a girl who used to be my best friend who saved my ...

Aortic Valve: Again

Published March 29th, 2022 in 2022, hearts | No Comments »

I got the call. The call said what I thought it might--it needs to get done, again. (the first was done in 1998) This time it's planned, planned like they always said they should be planned. This is the first time I've been able to plan, I mean really plan without anything crazy leading me to force it-he said a month or two. May seems like it might be a good plan--April seems less solid to me, but I guess we'll see what she says. She, being the nurse who's going to help me schedule this. I was going to film the whole thing, but it ended up happening sooner than expected, he calling to kind of jar me from a show coma I've been in since watching From. I am still inside it. but I know I have to crawl out to get myself in the right mind frame to get out of this surgery alive.

Sure, it's annoying--it sucks to keep having to go through this, but one thing I've realized is shit happens because shit happens all the time. You are either stagnant or moving, and I've maybe taken the moving thing a little too ...

ECHOs & Hospital Fun: The Pandemic Rages on

Published March 21st, 2022 in 2022, hearts | No Comments »

Hmm, So I had an appointment the other day in the hospital--D came w/me as support. You know, with the world kind of just deciding to get infected over nailing prevention don't think you can go to the hospital without getting the virus is what they've been saying. We've been super careful--that day I had us in our 6 layer Shero's w/N94 liners & of course the air filters raging on when we got home & before.

I have a belief that if COVID did ever end up in our home, it would be quickly sanitized from the air so infection between the two of us could be avoided. It's the 3rd set of lungs in the environment, so close to I-395, traffic which seems endless & Spring, which is in full force in Northern Virginia. Sure, we probably have sex too much to keep both of us totally virus-free, but for what it does sticking in the lungs, the third set would be invaluable. I still don't see why business hasn't seen this solution--cleaning the air themselves vs counting on the good graces & cooperation of a public that seems averse to such coordination & empathy in action. ...
