Just got back from my Cardiology appointment.
I have to return there in a week for yet another Stress Test. At least I get to take the Nuclear version and get to skip the treadmill.
I think they are a little concerned because I constantly have some minor pains in my chest. This is a precaution to try and catch things early I suppose.
I have look back on all the tests and hospital stays over the last 4 1/2 years as victories in my journey.
Did I come through unscathed? I can't say that. I have suffered damage from my past mistakes.
Did I learn from all this? You can be assured that I have learned a lot. I have had to modify my life to meet the challenges from the damage.
I will update as I get more information.
Treat your quit the same as I treat this fellow travelers... just one more thing in your journey to leave behind after you deal with it.
Travel strong my friends.
Always remember .....
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Be aware that the non-treadmill stress taste is not a walk in the park (pun intended!) either. It chemically puts the same load on your heart as the treadmill and feels ultra-weird. I had that when I had the artery blockage and had significant pain in my leg when I walked. They were afraid I wouldn't make the entire treadmill time - so opted to do the other.
Wishing you the VERY best as you move forward - one step at a time!
