Allison McCaskill

Bugger. I'm so sorry. And people are bitching about not wanting to wear masks - it's infuriating.

TheQueen

Alison McCaskill - well, I've got a plan now. It is contingent on having them not find a thing wrong with my heart at the stress test Tuesday, and on my body tolerating the statin well, and if all goes well maybe I'll be out next year.

KC

I hope that all works out! Sorry about the opera this year, but... yeah.

TheQueen

KC- passed my stress test, anyway.

KC

Congratulations! (out of entirely idle curiosity since I've had three things that can be described as a stress test and there are probably more, which kind of stress test was it?)

TheQueen

KC -"STRESS ECHO WITH DOPPLER" - I had an ultrasound of my heart with 90 photos, then I walked in a treadmill with a blood pressure cuff, then after 6 minutes they hustled me off the treadmill and I had another very fast ultrasound.

KC

Ooooh, fancy! That is one I have not had (and, frankly, hope to not have, because if I had it then that would indicate they were thinking something differently-weird was going on with my heart and they want to figure things out and I don't want my heart to do anything suspicious, let alone bad).

I am so glad you passed the test. Are they still flailing around about what might be wrong, or are you down to "huh, well, that was weird, we don't know what went wrong but you seem to be fine aside from the previously-known stuff"?

TheQueen

KC - I think the ball's in my court. I can go back to my premise that it's a pulled muscle, only, it doesn't feel like a pulled muscle anymore. It feels like my interior elasticity is going away. I'm think9ng I can give it a month to either go away or get worse.

KC

Did they check for dislocated ribs?

TheQueen

KC - if I'd had a dislocated rib I would have died during the ultrasound.
