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

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. 🤔

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.

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

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.

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

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
