and now let me get back to battlestar galactica and knitting

i was going to write a bit about my interesting night last night which ended up with me being stuck out in the cold and locked out of vlad's warehouse 3am in the morning, but i'm too busy watching battlestar galactica (thanks will for getting me addicted to yet another tv show) and knitting of course.

so here is my second entry from my notes on facebook about me seeing waaaay too many doctors in waaaay too short a time.


3 doctors in 5 1/2 hours

and still...no results.

so today i saw an internist, cardiologist and lung specialist. the internist told me there was definitely something wrong with my lungs and also wanted me to get my heart checked. so i saw a cardiologist, got a heart sonogram, and was told that i have extra fluid in the lining of my heart. he told me that this is probably because i have an infection somewhere in my body, most likely from my lungs. he didn't make it out to be anything life threatening, but extra fluid in the lining of my heart still doesn't sound so pleasant.

next i see the lung specialist. after spending almost half an hour doing breathing test after breathing test he tells me that my lungs are abnormally small. not sure what that means other than its obviously not helping me breathe so well, but it doesn't sound good. he's worried that i might have a blood clot in my lungs so now i have to get myself a catscan...on monday.

sooooo...i'm still here, coughing my mini lungs out wondering what the hell is wrong with me...
