Scratch that. I tried submitting the embed code, but I suspect that was already tried??

Our wings are not tired.

Good to hear, msbelle! I understand the worry for sure. Phew!

Oh Sparky, I hope you have a quick resolution.

You guys, I cried real tears from laughing so hard: [link]

Seriously, it is great to shed tears this way.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Good luck, Sparky.

msbelle, I'm so pleased things came out normal. I was born with a congenital heart defect/murmur, which impacted my stamina significantly and gave me arrhythmia for like 25 years. But it though it was quite benign (I've adulted out of it) it is really intense to go through all the testing. Seeing my arrhythmia on an EKG was ... a trip. A weird trip. I've looked at my heart several times under ultrasound, and it never stopped being intense.

Hopefully this will be a one time visit for you both!

Msbelle, I'm glad it turned out to be nothing. K-Bug has an innocent murmur too. Went through all the tests and such. For a while her pediatrician would test interns by having them listen to K-Bug's heart to see if they heard the murmur or not. Then going through her medical history the doc let me explain histiocytosis. My kids are teaching moments.

not your mom's socks.

Oh Sparky, all our sympathies. DH has had it too. That said, you didn't get it from me so there.

MSBelle, this is good news!

I have once again misplaced my can. I am filled instead with can't. It tastes like chocolate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Scratch that. I tried submitting the embed code, but I suspect that was already tried??

Yeah, it looks like it might work, and then... doesn't. Sad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I had a heart murmur as a kid and I'm fine!

Embed codes do not work much more than they do. It's frustrating.

Nanita, I watched that video and it was the hardest I've laughed since the surgery. Ouch!! But in a good way.
