Good morning All. Coffees on.

[Tiffany 838]

Good morning all. Hope everyone day is better than yesterday.  Coffee going down this morning.  Just made plans with the wife to go out to dinner fully dressed as I want to be.  This will be the first time fully as Tiffany going out. Feeling very excited.  

[Birdie]

Sorry about all those problems @Willow. Hope things get better. 

 

That sounds exciting @Tiffany 838, I hope y'all have a great time. 

[Birdie]

Today I go in for a Transthoracic Echocardiogram. I have never had one of these before. Doctor ordered it because of my mild heart attack followed by pulmonary edema. At least I'm feeling better, so hopefully they find everything is okay. 

I thought about going in braless since I have to disrobe for the test, but in reality I don't look good at all braless (gravity has not been kind to me). 

I'll just wear my standard tank, shorts, bra, and lip gloss. 💋💖

So much going on - I hope the test gives the doctors the answers they need to treat you @Birdie. And, @Tiffany 838, how excited you must be!!! What a dream dinner. 💕

 

I just finished up cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming the guest rooms - now I'm having a final cup of coffee before jumping in the shower and getting dressed.

 

Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in this day we've been given!!!

Thank you all for the well wishes for my wife. @MmindyOh, yeah. the helping in dressing, wiping, Showering,even feeding to a point. Looks like I will be taking a FMLA leave. Don't know for how long. Probably depends on what the Dr. says tomorrow.

 

Oreo is doing well. Aside from a few pee accidents he is going outside. He has adjusted well to his new home. Even with my wife and youngest not wanting me to get him. they have adjusted as well.

 

Hugs, Kymmie

Good morning everyone,

The coffee pot is rinsed out, the grounds are dumped, and I'm catching up on the socials.

Well I'm still feeling the effects of anesthesia due to me being still fatigued.

LOL. Hopefully your power will be on soon. Is there any ETA on when it'll come back? I know that where my nephew is he has been without power for a couple days. They had a bad storm and messed up the power cables. It's going to be a while for them.

Nice!

 

We've had weather-related power failures in my area quite a bit this year.  Our backup looks somewhat similar, if just a bit larger.  One of my chores at home is to monitor fluid levels in the battery bank.  Praying for the day we get enough solar panels to dump the power company entirely 😴

I got my test results back but haven't seen my doctor yet.

ejection fraction of 65-70%. (Good)

Abnormal LV diastolic function noted.

(not good)

Left Atria

The left atrial chamber dimension is enlarged.

(not good)

What all it means I'm not sure. 🤔

[Birdie]

Good morning y'all ☕

 

My adventures at the hospital for testing are over and hopefully I'll see my doctor today. Scanning the internet over the tests results left me more confused than anything, so I'll wait to see my doctor. 

Yesterday was however quite the day for me since it was my first day in the women's room. A day I'll always remember. 🙂

I'm up early again like usual, so I'll have some coffee and fix breakfast later. 

Y'all have a GREAT day! 💖

Hope it's all problems they can address.

 

Down here you can only get the test results via the doctor- who will only disclose in a face-to-face appointment. The do end up on a govt run website but take 7 days. I guess the idea is to stop patients "scanning the internet over the test results".

That makes sense. I got my results via email, and it says, "your care team has not yet reviewed these results". 

Talk about "hook and bait", I've wasted at least an hour googling. 🙄

MaybeRob, my doctor rings me with my blood test results, sometimes before a scheduled appointment! Once every 3 months I need to see him face to face to qualify for funded telehealth calls.

All the ones I've been to for myself, or my father won't give results over the phone. Always seemed a bit of a cash grab to me.

I'm in the VA system here.  We can see our records and stuff online if we login with our password.  My oldest 2 daughters have the password so they have access, which is fine with me.

I had a health scare a few years ago and gave one my healthcare power of attorney.  They are allies in my trans stuff, and both know my preferences for my care if it comes to that.

So Tiffany, how did your night out and dinner go?

Good morning from the forth floor of River View Hospital. 
 

Coffee was minimal since I’m sure they will check my blood pressure. I’m seeing an Orthopedic Specialist for hand, wrist, and elbow surgery on my left arm 

[Mmindy]

Wow I just got seated in the waiting room and they called my name. This is preopp review for a surgery on July 12th. I’ve cleared my schedule and found a fabricator to build out completed training props for me. I’m getting to the point of mostly retired, with some consulting. 
 

Hugs

I'm sure you'll figure out something to get mixed up in.
