This was the coolest test I've ever had to do. It's like an ultrasound for those of you who have had those, but it's your own heart. I had a fab tech who explained absolutely everything that we were seeing on the screen, as well as telling me why each thing was important to check and what the ranges of normal were. Those of you that know me are aware of how much I love details and explanations, so I was thoroughly enjoying the test. I know it seems strange, but it just made it more like a hands on class experience more than a test. The results will be sent to my genetic doctor tomorrow, so hopefully Friday I will know what they are and if she wants to proceed with the biopsy.
Sadly this was the highlight of my week. My stress/anxiety level has been very high. This past Saturday I was walking along in the market and my left leg gave out. Other than almost falling on my face, it freaked me out because it is my right leg that is having surgery, my left leg is meant to be supporting me for the next month or so! Thankfully it hasn't happened again since Saturday (when it lasted for a couple of hours) but my left hip is actually hurting more than the right one now. I don't know how I'm going to make it through this, hopefully I will get some superhuman power in the next four days before surgery.
Shana tova! May you and your loved ones have a healthy and happy New Year.
