Something Beautiful - Need to Breathe

Had the biopsy (just a precaution). Recovering. It didn't hurt much, just extra tired. Doc says he's certain it's nothing to worry about.

Will visit San Diego again next month. Yay! Gonna talk to all the who's-who about special housing accommodations. Yeah, that's right. I'm special.

Thinking of all my Snowballers this weekend. [your favorite catchphrase here!]

Heal Over - KT Tunstall

My ear's giving me trouble. Terribly fatigued. Just pushing through. There's a light at the end of this tunnel!

Reviews:

The Proposal (movie) - stupid

Food Inc. - new favorite documentary! A must-see.

Project Runway (reality show) - Best-structured contest show ever. So much focus on the creation instead of the judging. Seth Aaron for the win.

(500) days of Summer (movie) - melancholy yet charming.

Beauty In The World - Macy Gray

Got an appt to see Beverly...in 3 weeks! [Note: we have been on Grubb's waiting list for 6 months.] Looking forward to new treatment ideas. Anybody tried erythropoietin (EPO) injections?

Eyes are weak. Later!

Far Far - Yael Naim

Bad couple of days. Nor reacting well to this fog. Nightmares, exhausted, confused. Breathing is more difficult.

It's not over til the fat lady sings. I've lost 25 pounds.

It ain't over, folks. It sho' ain't over.

Where Are You Going - Dave Matthews Band

Tests back.

Lyme, negative. Vitamin D, Thiamin, Iron levels, etc, normal. Ultrasound next week, no biggie. Best news is that we're officially on Beverly's calendar for next month! Ohio, kids. This office is the center of the POTS world. My 20th doctor and 6th state. We're gonna work this out.

In the meantime, happy to have above-freezing temperatures and sunshine!

Think of You - A Fine Frenzy

Today: Saw my cardio electrophysiologist. Frustrated with my case. Recommends a visit to Dr. Grubb's office in Ohio. Hoping to reach Beverly Karabin, RN.

Running some numbers, took 5 vials of blood. Not so bad. New nurses, particularly male ones, are so funny.

"So. We're gonna like, draw some blood now."
"Okay."
"Coooool. Yeah. Are you nervous?"
"Nah. I'm a pro [at getting blood taken]."
"Oh." [Uncomfortable. Obviously he is NOT a pro at taking blood.]

"Are you doing okay?"
"Yeah."
"Cool. That's...cool."

"So you're not like, light-headed or anything, like?"
"Nope."
"Cool. And you're like, good to go, cool?"
"Okay, thanks."
"Alriiite. Cool."

Will write again when I get the results. Poor new guy. I shouldn't make fun. It's just too, like, easy.

Arrested Development is hysterical!
