Thursday June 12 / Friday June 13: Carotid ultrasound, X-ray, Echocardiogram

- So far, blood-works from yesterday are normal, although I, myself, am suspicious of my d-dimer result.  I read online that normal is 254, but mine was 340.  The doc considered it normal though...
- ANA: NEGATIVE. TAKE THAT!
- I am beginning to notice a slight desaturation of reddish hues and my left eye is starting to have dull pains.  I dunno if it's because I am more aware of the condition I have that I am imagining it, or it's actually how I feel.
- I think I'm going to start exercising more.  Going to try swimming at the pool every night for 20 minutes.
- Carotid ultrasound was clean.  The tech was horrible though.  Pressed really hard on my neck with no warning or education.
- X-ray came out clean.
- Echo cardio-gram is to be determined.  Tech was nicer though.  She pretty much pressed really hard on my left boob.  It was a procedure of confusing emotions because sometimes she would be rubbing on my ribs which would make me laugh uncontrollably, and then other times it was boob-sandwhich time which made me want to cry.

UPDATE:
echo cardiogram: everything looks healthy and good.
