Day One

I went to see a psychiatrist today.  I go back in two weeks.  I was given two scripts, one is a mood enhancer and the other is to tide me over until the M/E kicks in.  We really seemed to hit it off, so I have good expectations. It is a she, and she is a nurse practitioner. Maybe a psychiatrist is not he right term. But at least that is an identifiable title to use.

Walking Dead

Ten years ago this month, I was the walking dead.  My heart was struggling to even pump my blood. My lungs were full of fluid (blood) and my organs were retaining water. Still, I worked very hard on Valentine's day. My patrons later said they were very worried about me. I was grey. I would take "breathing breaks" behind closed doors, to oxygenate myself, because my breathing capacity was so diminished.  After Valentine's day, I was part of a walking performance art troupe at a fundraiser for Public Radio themed Greek Gods and Goddesses.  I was  Poseidon.  The following week, my life flashed before my eyes as I emceed karaoke. I went to the Dr the next morning, and thus began my life with Heart Disease.

Why the new blog?

If you read way down into March 2004, you will find an earnest positive patient that spoke about all the BS he was going through at the beginning of his treatment, my treatment. Over the past eight years, it has evolved into a generally happy go lucky blog documenting checkups and generally happy time stuff. My recent cardiologist is adamant about my having surgery and I have decided that the process may well have been handled much differently. I will cross copy related posts from K3p0 accordingly. I start with a new cardiologist Nov 8. He is still within the Minneapolis Heart Institute so should not have to begin my care from scratch. I have had underlying feelings of disdain toward my previous cardiologist since I met with her after I had met with a potential surgeon. What made me decide to pursue other care is how information seems to bottleneck through her office. Finding out what did or did not get decided on a specific day, takes weeks. Meanwhile I am left in the dark, fielding concerned inquiries from my loved ones about them. Today I heard that a panel that was scheduled a week ago yesterday did not in fact discuss my case. This was the third time it did not occur as scheduled. When I was told of this last date, I explicitly asked the nurse to tell me that it at least met and what is the next step. The nurse in fact was not informed until yesterday that the panel did not discuss my case and that it is rescheduled for next week. The nurse does not routinely get panel information. My understanding of the process is the Dr tells her to tell me. Her understanding is if the Dr does not! tell her anything then the Dr is telling me herself. After this, I professed my desire to find a new cardiologist within the same Institute. I am so pleased with the staff there, by and large, I am assuming the discord I have with my cardiologist is with our interpersonal communication expectation breakdowns.

This blog was largely sufficient to tell my story. I spun off my recipes to lslf.*.* but today I am spinning off my vitriol. Is that even what I mean? That is the word that popped into my head. Over the years, I have learned to trust the pop. But I will confirm my usage.
