The Home Photography Experience™ - Day Four

[jackshoegazer]

I went to Concert on the Square with Jacquelyn and brdgt.  We met up with mystickeeper and her boyfriend and a bunch of other people like Jacqui's friend Julia, whose name I will remember (usually I don't) and a bunch of mystickeeper's work friends.   It was a Gershwin night and Rhapsody in Blue was the highlight.  I drank much too much wine and ate triple-creme brie.  It was a great time.  Of course, I am drunk, but hey, that's okay.

My sunburn is peeling, which is gross to most people, but kind of cool for me.

I scheduled my surgery.  I have to be in Utah on July 20th for my surgery prep.  I'm, afraid, but in the way a prisoner is afraid of the end of his sentence.  After seven years of fear, I find I am almost more afraid of freedom.  Granted, in order to get out of my particular prison, I have to subject myself to open heart surgery.  Literally.

That is scary. The waiting is always the worst.

My husband has a heart condition caused by the Navy not treating a complex case of pneumonia. It almost killed him twice back in 2004. Sometimes the chest pain haunts him, and no one can figure out why the pain exists. I wish there were a surgery or something that could be done to fix it. The unknown is horrible.

Y'know, I was so busy blabbing out of my own experience and fears that I didn't say a single encouraging thing. My apologies.

I hope that your open heart surgery goes well and that you recover quickly.

Haha, thanks!

My problem is a huge unknown (or at least has been) since no one knows what causes it. 1 in 20 million people have random balls of scar tissue in their chests. I'm glad some doctor out in Utah developed a bypass for it. Statistics are good though.

That's terrible about your husband. It's not terribly debilitating is it?
