We got up this morning, put the children in the pet hotel, and drove down to Houston to the Texas Heart Institute where there is a center for FMD and something Dana has. It is a vascular condition that mostly women develop (byproduct of hormonal changes, they think). Normally it is discovered by accident which happened to her while they were looking for something else. The only benefit to running down the diagnosis is that we can now shorthand any discussions and move past further testing. It is one of those watch and wait kind of things. Blood thinners and monitor. Keep the blood pressure down and that's about it.
Meanwhile we're taking advantage of having a narrow specialty center close by. I don't think we will have to come back here which is great since it is a three hour drive. We're staying in a VRBO place right next door and leaving in the morning.
So many ways this could have gone wrong. Lots of moving parts to get here but it worked out and will be off the calendar and out of my mind now.
I scheduled cataract number 2 for 26 May so I should be able to see the baseball games in Seattle mid June. Another thing off my schedule.
I'm kind of ready for some boredom.
