it's that time again where i become a guinea pig and head to LA for my medical tests. my docs will be checking for any rejection i may be developing by doing a biopsy: http://www.medicinenet.com/myocardial_biopsy/article.htm
and then i'll have exams to check my aortic dissection: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/18073.htm
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000181.htmi'll be in LA for about a month and a half for these tests. my docs have also asked that i be part of a study on heart transplantees....so i'll be "auditioning" for that while i'm in their hands. should be interesting and hopefully helpful to future patients.
another reason i'm heading to LA is for the 3rd annual Bicuspid Aortic Foundation conference:

the flights were so expensive this time around with the airlines beginning their summer airfare wars as well as the lost of a couple of airlines. really do your research on the internet for cheap flights.
i'm really not looking forward to all the tests but what can you do. necessary evil, yeah? i just wish the friggin' hospital gowns were updated.
