My Stress Test

Jun 12, 2016

This past Friday, I had my cardiology appointment. I had to have EKG done and a scan on a monitor of my heart (I am sure it has a correct term but it was like a sonogram of my heart), and a stress test on a treadmill. I passed it all but she said I should be able to go longer when working out. I was thinking, "Ma'am, with all due respect, I know this, cut me some slack! I have had a lot of issues hindering my workout. Hence, me going for the surgery to lose weight and gain my more of my mobility back." However, I just said, "I agree.". What would be the point in explaining? She doesn't know my struggle. I just let it rock.

I was just glad I have a heart in good condition. After seeing how Kimbo Slice, who was someone I loved to watch fight, he was a Miamian/Floridian like myself and the SAME AGE, die, I am grateful. 

I could have discovered I needed a heart transplant last minute and been fighting for MY life!

I'll keep you all posted on my next step in this process.
