Testing, testing

I knew I was going to use some of this extra time to get some neglected health issues dealt with. The good part is I don't have to worry about taking personal, sick or vacation days. The bad part is waiting for results. Although most of the results turn out to be OK, there are always a few things that need attention and you have to wait since one test seems to spawn more tests. For instance, I had a stress test which I passed and was pleased. I don't think I could ever get my pulse that high unless I sky dived over the Grand Canyon. I had some other tests which were OK but required more so I will schedule these and wait for more results.

I made the mistake of thinking the stress test tech was the Doctor (cardiologist I had not met), so I was giving him lots of info while he was setting me up with diodes and wires. He was looking at my chart and asking many questions so I figured I was going to get some real good attention and advice. I knew the cardiologist had to be present while I was being tested in case my head exploded, however, he didn't enter until the last minute. He DID ask me some questions but was doing so while I was trying desperately trying to keep up with the damn treadmill. I was a tad distracted to say the least but wanted to act cool. I was thinking I wasted all my nicely crafted answers for the damn technician and all my breathless answers sounded idiotic. I felt like George Jetson "Jane, stop this crazy thing!!"
