Well, I must say I am glad this week is coming to an end. It has been a rough one but I made it through as well as could be expected. The area where they put the new catheter in is very sore but is in the process of healing. Yesterday was the day I was at Medical Plaza to have the TEE (Esophageal Echogram) and sure enough, they found vegetative growth on a pulmonary valve. It is small and they think they can take care of it with the Vancomycin I am getting MWF at dialysis. This was what they were hoping to not find because this indicates the starting of endocarditis. I certainly hope next week is less eventful.
