I could stay young and chipper , I'd lock it with a zipper, If I only had a heart....

I'm not the Tin Man :-(

I went to the doctor's office for another test to see what's wrong with my heart. This time the "test" was an ultrasound, where I got to view my heart...WHICH DOES EXIST! I have a heart! And apparently it's a "good one" to boot! So there...

Still doesn't explain why I've been having so many issues. Ugh. I just wish they'd figure it all out. It was really cool to see my heart though. It was beating and twitching and doing it's thing. I got to see all sorts of ventricles and atriums and my aorta...the human body actually has more than one aorta? I thought it was just one in the heart. Of course I am incorrect. But it was cool to see.

So yes, I have a heart, and apparently it looks good according to the nurse lady. But the cardiologist will be reviewing the video tape (yes there's a video of my heart. I'm sure it will outsell Paris' sex tape, just wait...) and getting back to me. We'll see for sure how my heart's working then. After this there's still another monitor thing I have to deal with..ew...

But at least I'm not the Tin Man. The Scarecrow is my favorite anyway, and there's certainly no guarantee that I have a brain up there ;)
