Matters of the Heart

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Hi there dear friends, Matt and I have had a peaceful 4 days.  No appointments, no testing, just killing time.  We've seen 2 movies - "End of Watch" and "Taken 2".   We took a ride up to the mountains for a Sunday dinner at my friend Charlene's house.  She and her husband Ron live in Morrison, CO which is at 7600 ft.  Driving up there we observed some gorgeous country and their cozy cabin is tucked in the mountain which faces a spectacular view.  Very peaceful.

Today I met with Dr. Nash to go over my test results and sign the consent form. Unfortunately my EKG is showing an irregular heart beat that has changed since the last test in July. Before they can proceed with the treatment I have to see a Cardiologist for a cardio evaluation an find out if this issue puts me at risk for the Stem Cell Transplant.  Fortunately, Callee was able to get me scheduled with him tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. So if I am cleared to move forward it will only set us back a few days from the original schedule.  If I am not cleared ....???
I'm feeling emotionally worn out tonight and the hard stuff hasn't even started.
Good night for now. xo
