Blood Clot In My Heart Persists - January 5 2012

I drove myself 100 miles across the high mountain desert again today for a repeat echocardiogram at Sandcreek Echo in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Still no winter here, so the drive was easy.

Sandcreek Echo in Idaho Falls was a very pleasant place. The echocardiogram room was bright compared to my previous echocardiograms and even sported a live fish tank. Very friendly receptionist,  Lynette and technician, Krista, made the whole experience nice.

The blood clot in the right atrium of my heart is still there. Of course, a cardiologist has to read the echo from today before I'll know the official results. I took hard copies of my previous 2 echocardiograms (Nov 2 2011 and Dec 1 2011) along with my MRI of the Heart Results (Nov 3 2011) so the new cardiologist would have some reference point. I wathat the blood clot persists because I really want to be more active without the FEAR of a pulmonary embolus or worse.

Went straight home back across the desert and in to the Big Lost River Valley. 48 degrees on January 5 2012 is unheard of in Idaho - but, that was the case today.
