Had the Transoesophageal Echo (TOE) this morning, at North Shore Hospital. I was frankly surprised at the difference between the two hospitals (the last procedure was at Mercy Ascot). While everyone was kind and seemed proficient, they were less organised. The nurse couldn't get the shunt in my hand, and had to have another go with a fresh needle in my arm. Meanwhile, I was having trouble not fainting (partly whimpishness, partly a factor of the fault mitral valve), Eventually, it was all go. ...

I'm having an angiogram done tomorrow (yay! A day off work ) then next Friday, I've got a transoesophageal echo scheduled (yay!! Another day off work!).
The problem occupying my mind today was what music to take with me... if I take a favourite CD, will I hate it afterwards?
If I take something weird, like Modest Mouse, will it freak the people sticking things in/up me out, and make them stuff it up?
Would "Master of Puppets" or "Death Magnetic" make everyone ...
