The last time I said I would try to post more was exactly a year ago - guess that didn't go so well. Now I have this (hopefully) set up so I can post on my iPad so perhaps I will do better this year ;)
I'm trying to get lots of caffeine in this morning before 8 am since that is my cut off until after the nuclear stress test tomorrow. acck acck acck. I am a bit of a wreck about this so send good thoughts my way. The combination of my fear of needles, the fact that they can never get an IV started without major contortions and much muttering and then add the fact that my Achilles tendonitis is still screaming at me is adding to the stress. Will I be able to do the treadmill - will they have to do the chemical test if I cant go fast enough or long enough (please god no) then of course there is the normal worry about how it will turn out...Rich who had "the episode" that started all this had everything look fantastic. ...me who is just trying to be a responsible adult (yes I know about time right) probably won't have it be perfect -much like my 24hour monitoring wasn't perfect .....so looking for the good - anything that pops up like my rapid heartbeat (which btw I'm not allowed to take that med. tomorrow before the test) will be addressed to keep me around for a good long time to come.
And I made it thru the echo last week without Docs running into the room or calling me later in the day so that was good .. So we just need to get thru tomorrow then the doctor appointment next week
Oh and the stress has made for a wonderful LP flare up and I now have ulcers in my mouth again...fun fun fun..
Wow I got a LOT of venting and stress out all at once didn't I?
Ok a half hour left to hammer back more coffee :D....

i recommend more coffee. Is it 8 yet?
oh Sweetie! Good to see you back - no matter the circumstances. At least now I can cheer for you and send you positive energy and hugs.
Keeping fingers and toes crossed. . . .
Rho....you are back...I am sooo happy. You will be fine with the stress test...but they don't really need to give you a stress test, you are stressing yourself out. Don't worry...if they should even dare to find something wrong I will nurse you back to radiant good health. And with Rich as my trusty assistant, if you need any procedures done we can handle them on the kitchen table. There...now do you feel less stressful? LOL
Hmm, maybe an app for two Ipads, one for each foot, recording your walking pace and heartbeat etc no IVs... Someone could invent that!
If you are going to post, I'm putting you on follow. lol
