AsahinaKimi in the hospital
typing from a hospital in SF. Doc says I have heart problems. I am hooked up to every machine in the place. Don't know when I will Note: you know you are in trouble when they upgrade you to better pajamas and a room with a view. Can't go into details but it will involve some scary procedures, give me strength MFM!!

I will send along healing, comforting vibes.

This may be the best thing I can tell you. The scary procedures? To the doctors and surgical teams,
they are so routine that they are like auto mechanics changing your oil. Not formidable to them at
all -- so much so that right before my most concerning surgery (the heart valve replacement) --
RIGHT before I went out from the anesthesia, I got the team's attention and reminded them that,
although it was just another procedure to them, it was MY one and only heart and that I hoped
they thought about that when they were working their magic.
.
I also sang them The Beatles' short little ditty, "Her Majesty", from start-to-finish. The drugs had
started to really kick in.
.
I won't say there's nothing to be scared about.
.
Except there really isn't -- OK, OK, just a teeny-tiny bit is justified.
.
You are going to be fine.
.
Trust me. I've become an expert at this.
.
.
There are all sorts of attractive nurses of all kinds, so whatever you do, don't forget you have the
RIGHT to request tagteam bedbaths.

From me and EVERYBODY:

Also, I'm SO glad you have Intertubes access. Contact with the people here really was a major
factor in keeping up my spirits... keeping up my positivity.

My heart goes out to you, my friend.

We are all pulling for you
Here's to the docs finding the issue quickly and that it's minor and easily dealt with! 
I hope you're ok!
Good thoughts and vibes
I hope they find out what's wrong very quickly and that it is a very minor one off.
Hugs.
I don't post much in the Lounge anymore, but I'm still around.
You have a strong spirit, Kimi.
I wish you good health, love, and a decent hospital meal.
Best wishes for a full and uneventful recovery.
I'm so sorry ... I hope they get to the bottom of it quickly and you're home and healthy soon!
hope it's not too serious and they give you good answers right away!
We're with you...
May you soon be well!
Get well soon and please keep us informed.
My heart pumps cholesterol instead of blood, and you are the one with heart problems..
Life ain't fair, please keep us posted.
Definitely not one that I would recommend.
Hopefully, it was just one of those flukey things and you'll be back to normal by tomorrow.

Hope you are released quickly and healthy.
hang in there
Be well. (((Kimi)))
Get well soon!
thoughts -- good luck to you!!
Hang in there and know that DU is sending you all good thoughts and wishes! You're going to be fine. Keep a positive attitude and remember to breathe. I've been there and I sympathize. 
we need you here ,feel better .
Which hospital, if I may ask? I hope you're at UCSF -- one of the best in the nation. My Mom had her heart issues taken care of there -- nothing but success.
Stay strong and keep us posted! If you need a forbidden-food fix. let me know -- I deliver.
I am so glad I peeked in. i have been a little under the weather myself the last couple days. Nothing serious but not paying attention to DU at all. I am so sorry you are in the hospital but also glad you are, if that makes sense.
I am sure they will get you straightened out and I hope it will be quite soon. PLEASE keep us updated. You are one of the Lounge family!
please forgive me if this is in any way inappropriate
Worst thing about heart problems is the symptoms are scary.
I am sure you will just fine, look at all the DU energy surrounding you!!!!
Keep us posted, tho, yes?....
You're also better looking than MFM so you qualify for the TexasTowelieBedBaths! 
Please keep us informed and best wishes for you.
You're a gem!
I hope they figure out what is going on soon and that you get the help you need. Sending you good thoughts and healing prayers.
If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
Breathe, and try to relax. We're all sending our best DU good vibes towards San Francisco.
I found this cute Origami card by 'googling' Japanese get well cards. The young woman who made it apologized that it says, "Getting Well", instead of "Get Well", but getting well is a process, so I think it's ok~!
Let the docs do there thing! 
!!!!!
Please get well soon, AsahinaKimi-san!
Don't forget to keep us updated!
Let us know what the Docs say! Remember heart trouble doesn't necessarily mean anything serious. There are many arrhythmia disorders that are scary that don't mean much serious. My father had to have a pace maker installed at 60 when he had a number of scary flat line incidents after getting back from a holiday. After the pacemaker he was good as new and life was back to normal almost immediately.
Hugs!
Hope it gets straightened out soon, and then at least you'll know what to do, or not do, and have that knowledge for a long, long, long, long time.
