Trying Something New

Hi guys!
  So hell week is over and I am back home!  I decided to try something new this time around....I made a video of my hell week experience.  Head on over to my youtube channel to check it out!  So far I have part 1 up but stay tuned for the rest as I will be getting that up soon.  For those of you wanting a more traditional experience (is blogging even traditional?  Maybe truly traditional would be coming over to my house and asking me about it.  I'm down for that!  Come on over!) you can read my first experience through hell week here.  For hell week 2.0 go here.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the changes, feel free to comment here or on youtube.  I hope you enjoy it!

I also would like to do a Q&A video so send me any questions you might have, seriously ANY question, transplant or health related or not, if you want to know it, ASK IT!

Until next time!

Drugged!

I'm slightly drugged at the moment so bare with me if things get a little cray cray :p !  Haha ok so I'm not really that drugged but, you know me (just a tad dramatic!). Anyway it is the end of day three, over halfway done!  The rest of yesterday wasn't too bad. I did get my first ever arterial blood gas draw though which was a little rough.  It hurt, it wasn't THAT bad but my body decided that it was and decided to bail.  Luckily this wasn't the first time that had happend to me after being poked, allowing me to know sugar would bring me back to the world.  I got it just in the nick of time and returned from the quiet white world I was passing through on my way to nothingness.  (Yes, I'm talking about nearly passing out!). Anyway besides that little fluke the rest of, the rest, of yesterday went pretty smooth! 

Today I had my heart catheterization which was not bad.  It's funny cuz I was the most nervous about it yet it, so far, was the easiest of the bad sounding tests.  It was also done fast, for hospital time!  I was able to go back to the house and take a nap (did I mention I was drugged?) and see a movie at the theater!  We saw White House Down.  It was pretty good and I liked having a break from hospitalness for a bit!  

As for the previously mentioned drugging, no I have not suddenly become a heroin addict.  (what!  You never thought that was what I was talking about, darn :p)  I was given versed and something else for the heart cath.  Versed is supposed to calm you and make you not remember but this stuff never works for me.  It simply makes me feel funny and later I get really tired.  Luckily as I mentioned the procedure went well so it wasn't a problem that I was fully conscious, unlike for my wisdom teeth removal.  That is a story for another day, plus it's getting late here and I have some more lovely tests tomorrow, vq scan and a 24 hr ph probe (eek!) so I better get to bed.  Nighty night all you readers out there ( do they have a name for blog readers/followers, like how if you blog you are a blogger...Readogger?... Blogollower?Hum I kinda like that!)

 don't let the bed bugs bite, you blogollowers!
