Echocardiogram....Views: 255

the test came back negative. one more thing we can cross off the list. yesterday angel said she wouldn’t mind getting the procedure (whatever it is) to fix the problem, but i said how scared i would be since she would definitely miss treatments, which would be a nightmare since things are progressing. she doesn’t need anymore bumps. we’ll inquire with otero about the details of the results on monday.

tonight i met with erik, a friend we met in egypt. he is moving to north carolina from his hometown of fairbanks. we’ve planned to hang during his pit stop for a few weeks now. he was really excited to hug angel, but angel’s anxiety took over and opted out at the last moment. this is okay and it hasn’t been the first time (and certainly not the last), she almost missed my grandmothers visit last month because of this same reason. i am getting used to it now. it’s saddens me of course, but i know how difficult this is for her to cope at times. she is definitely not happy about this either.

angel spent most of the day organizing medical papers, and bossing me around. i need this from time to time, it keeps me focused, and it reminds me who really wears the pants.

i met up with our attorney michael myers this afternoon, it’s my turn to work for him now. a website re-brand, and a logo for a joint venture he’s working on. i am happy to be doing this, and being creative is what i really look forward to. i hope to knock his socks off! it shouldn’t be too difficult, he’s a lawyer! ;) cheap jab, i know. he’s a really cool guy, and he was genuinely happy that we won the regence appeal. he really liked the letter angel wrote for him, and said he was going to show his wife so she knows that people actually appreciate him ;). man, i can’t express my gratitude to michael, and george for that matter for hooking me up with him! man oh man! a ton of bricks off our shoulders.
