Day 855:  Hello, It’s Me

Hello, it’s me,

  • having trouble sleeping in the hospital,
  • grateful for all the wonderful care I’m getting here, and
  • happy that I feel well enough to write this daily blog post.

Hello, it’s


beautiful Boston, around 5:45 AM yesterday.

Hello, it’s

my cardiologist’s Volvo, dropping me off at the hospital yesterday before 6 AM.

Hello, it’s

the sign greeting me in the Electrophysiology Lab, at 6 AM.

Hello, it’s

one of my favorite t-shirts.

Hello, it’s

Dr. Estes’s diagrams explaining Plan A and Plan B for my surgery yesterday.

Hello, it’s

Dr. Bader, who remembered me from a meeting of many cardiologists where Dr. Estes said, “Hello, it’s Ann,” about 400 days ago.

Hello, it’s

Diane, the awesome nurse who introduced me to my room, where I spent the night.

Hello, it’s

Meg, my overnight nurse, who tried her best to keep me comfortable when I was dealing with some discomfort.

Hello, it’s


me, again, trying to take a selfie in the middle of the night with my non-dominant arm and hand.

Hello, it’s

Todd Rundgren, performing music I hoped would help me sleep last night.

Hello, it’s you, dropping by here to get greetings and gratitude, from me.
