Triple bypass surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 5:15 a.m. Prior to that, I will spend two days--Nov. 13 and Nov. 17--at the hospital in pre-op tests and consults.
One friend said I must feel scared and overwhelmed, but I actually don't. I really don't feel much at all. It just seems like another thing to do, that's all. I'm really calm about the whole thing. I sure hope no one else tries to stir up any drama or worry because I sure don't have any.
The only thing is that I have a tremendous amount of work to get done in the next 12 days. Massages to give. Mom to take care of. But mostly a lot of research and writing I must finish for a client. Whew!
Please see the surgery as going smoothly and my recovery proceeding quickly without incident. And then see me getting on the transplant list, as I was told I would not get on the list if I didn't go ahead with the bypasses. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I will get on the list even if I do the surgery.
Mystical experiences, yearnings, politics, little dramas, poetry, kidney dialysis, insulin-dependent diabetes, and opportunities for gratitude.

About Me
- Heidi's heart
- Southern California, United States
- Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.

I agree, Heidi. This is just another step toward a perfect, healed body. I see it already. Will hold you tightly in my thoughts.
