Poked, prodded and scanned everywhich way.

The nurses took six tries to put in two IVs because I was a bit dehydrated and cold. (The humidity here is like 17%.) I gave a lot of blood, had two chest x-rays, an EKG, and and an MRI. All tests point toward normality. My potassium was a little low and I definitely don't have diabetes. I've met my nurses and my doctor's surgical assistant and a anaesthesiologist and a respritaory therapist and just now, my doctor. He has assured me this is a very safe procedure and compared to most other heart surgeries not very invasive. He said my biggest worry is bleeding and infection, which is less than one to two percent. So, uh, YAY!

My doctor also said that they would be taking pictures and video which I would get copies of. How cool is that?
