Echocardiogram

This was an interesting kind of day. After having a long conversation with Eddie last night, he did not want me going to the appointment alone. So the plan was of me to drive to his house and for him to take me to the Echocardiogram. The original plan was for my mom to take me and for my friend Lisa to just sit at home with Giulianna till we returned. Well, Mom said, "you can drive yourself." Guess the concern Eddie and I had was I was going for a test that had to do with my heart and driving to Philly was not always the easiest thing and my anxiety.

So the plan was if Eddie couldn't get done work in time, Amy would take me. SO as I siting work and wait for Eddie to tell me that he would be able to make it. at 12:30pm, I got the text that he was leaving work and would be home in a timely fashion. I left work at about 12:30pm to met him at his house. I got there at 1pm.

If anyone knows anything about being on medication, you consistently have to use the bathroom and have other ongoing issues. So I immediately go into the bathroom. Eddie arrives and waits for me.

Eddie drove my car out to Jean's Hopkins hospital to get the test. We talk and laugh. Although things have never been the same, I feel that we are back in a good spot.

The test was easy and took about 20 minutes. On the way home we talked about the next appointment and how everything was going. WE then talked about going on a cruise and taking Giulianna and his granddaughter, Mikayla. We talked about a Disney cruise and how great it would be for me and Giulianna after all this. He agreed. I talked about how us getting away would be wonderful. He agreed. He then talked about how Giulianna and Mikayla would get along so well.

We got back to his house and I had to leave to go to dinner. He gave me a kiss and a hug. He told me to text him when I got home and we can talk later if I wanted. I of course said, "I love you." and thanked him for everything he did. He said, "I care about you and would do anything for you."

I went him and had dinner with my mom, Lisa, Giulianna and baby Carter. This was planned a week ago. And yes before you ask. I asked Eddie to come but he wanted to go to the gym and to see his mom.
