Is Someone Telling Me Something?

Hi All;  I felt like posting this. You all are aware that because of not having a stress test done I was sent home from Utica.  So that expense was close to $360.00 maybe more counting restaurants added in after. So I got an appointment for the stress test in Ottawa but couldn't get a ride there.  You see I only see out of one eye and am super sensitive to light of any kind.  I rebooked and still couldn't get a ride so I drove.  I got lost going to Heart Institute, turned left when I should of turned right.  I wound up in Gatineau.  I parked in a hotel there and took a taxi which cost 20 bucks to get to Heart Inst. then another 20. to get back.  It was late I was tired and it was snowing bad out.  I had to stay the night.  $123.00 for the room and take out cost me (because in Quebec you can get beer delivered) 32. bucks.  I drank 1 beer but bought 4 duh me!  So I left hotel next morning at 6 a.m. and spent next 35 minutes driving trying to find 417 west.  A truck veered into my lane almost side swiping me.  I finally found 417 west.  Yah!!  I got close to Arnprior and a Transport truck passed me and dumped all his snow from his roof on top of my windshield.  I almost swerved into him (AHOLE).  I hit the breaks and windsheild wipers same time.....thank God!  Well anyways I made it home.  Whew! Now I am waiting for my doctors to return from the holidays.  If I get the stress test passed and my blood work all faxed to Dr. Grabers office by Wednesday I can have surgery on Friday. My ride doesn't leave till 2 p.m. on Wednesday and if I can't make it there (2.5 hrs away  from me) I have to take a plane into Syracuse.  Then a taxi to Utica which is 48 miles away. OK so tell me exactly why I needed a stress test with all the stress I have been in since this whole thing started?

Wow, sorry for all you went thru, but the stress test, as far as I know, is to make sure that your heart can handle the surgery.  Good luck!! Kim

I got stressed just reading your post - hope everything works out!

The Stress Test is to ensure your heart will not stop duting surgery.  While it is not perfect it does give the doctors a good indication on the condition of your heart. Happy New Year Ed. S

You misunderstood.  I know what the test is for.  I put that in because everything that happened to me gave me more stress then their little test which by the way didn't fizz me a bit.  It was my way of lmao deal.  Have a great one all.

Sorry GerriC, Guess the new drugs the doctor has me on are really doing there thing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
