Hi, all--
Went to Dr. V's for my echo today, but the boss man had already left for the hospital. The echo tech did my test and we chatted as we always do--and as far as she can tell, there's nothing wrong with my valve. That's the good news I already expected. The bad news is, now I have to wait. She said Dr. V might call this evening once he gets back to his office to read the echoes, but I may not get a call until tomorrow. I hate waiting, even when I know the news is good. The only thing is that if it's not my valve, then why am I having shortness of breath and lightheadedness? My guess is that it's post-surgery recovery, like Mike suggested. The echo tech thinks the same, too, and that I might just have been throwing myself too hard into my work, but as a teacher, I can't avoid "being up" all day and grading/planning in the evenings. October is the worst month because of progress reports, and I find myself falling behind every Oct.
Anyway, I'll post again once I know for sure. Sorry to make this a quick one, but got stuff to do!
Love,
Debi (debster913)
