Tick Tock Update

We went to see the cardiologist today.

The doctor feels that, based on my age and other factors, that there is a high chance there is no blockage. Instead, it could be a combination of things ranging from sleep apnea complications to sternum inflammation. However, he still wants to do the catheterization procedure. That is scheduled for Tuesday at the huge Asheville Cardiology Association's office.

I got the feeling he had not seen all of the results from the stress test. He mentioned that the EKG he saw was from 8 yrs ago, not from 2 days ago. He did, however, read the report about the pictures. Apparently, there was signs of blood not flowing to all parts of the heart. But, he also said such a finding is common when a patient has "a lot of material" for the camera to look through. Meaning, my big boobs may have caused the camera to not see everything.

In the meantime, we are glad to have several days of respite before the next stuff begins. This week, well, two weeks, has been kinda crazy. Lorna goes back to work tomorrow. At least most of the snow is gone.
