Journal entry by Brandy D

I received some bad news today, the first bit of news I received was I need a new heart ASAP, so I can't leave the hospital until a heart is found. If for some reason a heart isn't found after 2 weeks, I will need a Ventricular Assisted Device that will help my heart more long-term. The 2nd bit of news is that I have to have my balloon pump replaced because it malfunctioned, So back to the Cath Lab I go. I don't really like getting caths because I have to lay flat and I usually don't breathe well while laying flight. I'm so glad the doctors give me relaxing meds to help me. 

(1 hour later) I'm done with the balloon pump and already in my room. I don't remember anything which is good. I am still drowsy though so I'm going to sleep this off and get back with you all tomorrow.
