DCJ, I'm so glad they've diagnosed you. I imagine this will be life-changing in a really good way.
Still sending -ma towards S-K and thinking good thoughts for everyone else who needs it.
Pix is there anything Drew could use to alleviate hospital boredom? I would have sent something already but I'm just not sure what.
At this point he's too sick to be bored. I will be very happy when he graduates to boredom. But thanks.
I've been exiled to the waiting room while they install the pict line.
Pix, how scary for you both. I am so sorry and sending much love and ~ma to you both.
Also, sending out continued ~ma to Trudy and amyth's families.
Just finished a Bing energy drink. Yummy cherry juice (all 5% of it), day's supply of various B vitamins, lots of caffeine and other stuff, but I don't feel particularly energized. I may be immune to caffeine by now, except to stave off the headaches.

Also, life-extending. The doc said, left untreated this would lead to seriously being dead within a relatively short time - didn't want to make predictions, but said at a guess, 2-5 years before the toll on Daniel's heart would explode.
I've been trying not to think about that much.
but said at a guess, 2-5 years before the toll on Daniel's heart would explode.
I thought he said 5-10 years.
Well, Daniel, even that is not even close to how long we want to keep you around!
The new prognosis is much better.
Oh, Andi, how scary! Yeah, life-extending is good.
What Tep said! DCJ, your heart is too grand and loving a thing to hear numbers stuck on it -- I'm so glad that you're getting the solutions you need.
Trudy - good news! continuing recovery~ma and health ~ma to thems that still need it.
Sorry, poor spelling. PICC line, not pict. Anyway, it's in. The benefit of being on massive pain meds, apparently, is that you don't even feel something being inserted through a vein into your heart.
ETA: Oh D&A, how scary! So glad you got this diagnosed. And yay for good news, Trudy!
