I have to make this fast because I'm not supposed to be sitting for long.
I survived my angiogram! And if you think I'm being melodramatic, remember that there was a good chance that i would be allergic to the contrast dye.
But either I wasn't allergic, or the steroids and antihistimines worked. I thought I was awake throughout the procedure, but apparently i fell asleep somewhere in there.
They used a French 6, which meant six hours on my back afterwards, which -- for those of you who haven't had an angio -- isn't exactly flat on your back; you can be somewhat elevated as long as you don't raise your head on your own. I finished two sudokus, ate two turkey sandwiches and took some naps.
For the ladies: if you have cystocele and are facing an angio or surgery, write to me privately for a bedpan trick!
Good thing: I'll be doing most everything by Friday. Bad thing: this doesn't include riding. I said, "If i can ride a bike, why not a horse?" I'll bet you know what the doctor said! That's right -- because you can fall off!
Which, considering that I ride a.) a spooky, occasionally insano Thoroughbred mare and b.) a baby horse in training who walks.... walks.... walks and AUUUUUGGGHGGHGHGH! IT'S A KILLER GOAT!!!!!!", is a good point.
Still... grrrrr......
