Tests
posted on 8/20/08 1:10 pm
This morning I had my stress test.  I am very glad it was posponed from last week.  The testing wasnt that bad.  I went in.  They put in an IV and gave me my first round of dye.  I had to drink water and sit for 30 minutes for it to go through my system.  Then I went into a room and laid down and they took pics of my heart for 15 minutes.  I couldnt move and I had to lay there with my hands above my head.  It wasnt too bad but mid way through my body told me it wasnt a very comfortable position to be in.  I made it through that and then they took me to the treadmill room.  I was given more meds and they started the test.  They kept excellerating it quickly.  I managed to get through it without much discomfort.  I was mostly sweaty and out of breath.  They kept talking to me to wind me I think LOL.  Just when I thought I couldnt go further the test was done.   I sat down and they gave me more water.  I went back to the waiting room and boy I was physically drained.   I almost fell asleep waiting to be taken back for 15 minutes of pics again.   Once I was taken back to get the pics I laid down and realised I would enjoy this round of pics.  I almost fell asleep during it!

They checked to make sure I didnt move and then sent me on my way.  All my tests for surgery are now complete.  All its left is my nut consult and 2 more classes.  I'm on my way!!!
