Thank Goodness for Xfinity On Demand

Yes. It's true. I slept through the finals show of Dancing With the Stars. Joe woke me up at 10pm and told me I slept through it and asked if I wanted to know who won? Of course! I want to know who won. So glad for Rumer & Val - they've been my favorite for many weeks.

Here is a litany of the various injuries to my body this last week.

• A 1/4 inch hole with a huge bruise on my hip from the bone marrow biopsy.
• A 1/8 inch hole in my upper left arm for the temporary PICC line I had.
• A 1/4 inch hole in my neck with associated soreness from the Right Heart Cath.
• A 1/4 inch hole in my neck that is super-glued close for the tunneling of my new Hickman.
• A 1/4 in hole in my right wrist from the angiogram.  I'm wearing a huge splint on it to 'remind' me not to use it to open doors, lift things, or carry more than 5 pounds.
• A healing hole in the right-side of my chest from my old Hickman catheter.
• A new hole on the left side of my chest for my new Hickman catheter.
  
• And in the TMI, adding insult to injury department: They had to shave my groin for the angiogram. Really?

I honestly hope I can have a break from all the testing. I don't want to see any doctors or nurses until my next scheduled appointment with Dr. P.

The good news is that I got a B+ on the angiogram. That is, my coronary arteries are as expected for a 58 year-old Minnesota farmgirl (butter, cheese & egg eating carnivore). That was the last hurdle for my transplant evaluation. As far as I know, there is nothing to stand in the way of being accepted as a candidate and being listed on Thursday. When I get that call, I will definitely be doing the happy gopher dance.
