Tilt test in a little bit to see if it’s Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia or Postural Orthostatic Sinus Tachycardia. I’m worried that it is the latter which would be a big change to my go lifestyle, if I pass this test then I get to have a cardiac cath threaded through my leg to figure out my heart’s electrical activity and which medications I react well to. Which to be honest I’d rather have no test and be at home with R, Demon, and yaps-a-lot.

Heart rate is still rather high at 168, which scares everyone that enters my room; besides the Cardiologist.

My Cardiologist is an absolute sweetheart, like I thought most specialists were a-holes. He’s very considerate over everything and super through, have I mentioned he looks super good in scrubs and that accent of his. He also really cares which I appreciate, I don’t think their is anything worse than a doctor that doesn’t care or is burnt out.

I really do not deserve M, like I wish you guys were here to see how marvelous he is. He spent the night in which I am sure was a probably uncomfortable couch, he also wiped my morning drool from my cheek. Held my hand when it felt like everyone was suddenly in my room when the blood pressure tanked again.

A very sweet tech decided to remove the caked in blood from my hair from the cut last night. So now my hair is at least blood free even if my ends are dry. It’s still in a top knot with some bandages wrapped around my head, oh well at least it’s sort of clean.

I’m off to change out of my floral PJ’s and into a pair of leggings for the tilt test, and then eat whatever bland thing they decide to serve me for breakfast. I’m doing okay though just a little scared, I certainly did not realize I was this sick.

Hugs to everyone
I am thinking of you and praying everything goes OK for you and they find the problem and it's not terrible. I am glad you have someone there for you, and, yes, you do deserve M.
