JULY 19, 2004
 

I went to the cardiologist for my 6 week checkup. I told them I was still having intermittent chest pain and what should I do when it happens. I was given sublingual Nitro and my Toprol XL was increased to 100MG.

All was going pretty good until they did an EKG. It showed a probably myocardial infarction and ischemic changes... meaning my heart was not getting enough oxygen. He ordered a nuclear stress test for Friday.

I was told that the test lasts 4 to 6 hours and to bring a lunch and a good book. lol... Then depending on what it shows will determine, what, if anything, is done next.

You are listening to Memories from the musical Cats, written by
Andrew Lloyd Webber and T.S. Eliot.  I felt this song was a perfect selection
for this site because of the affiliation I feel with Grizabella.  Although for her,
it was age and not health issues that changed her, neither of us are who we
were before, on the outside, and it can affect how we feel on the inside.
