As I write, I have been hooked up to my holter monitor...and, for the next 24 hours, my cardiologist will know all of my activities...lol...he always teases Hans and I about "You know, a minimum of once a week means good heart health!!!" Hummmmmm, how would THAT entry look in my little 'diary'???? Do you think he would blush?????

I had my echo cardiogram today, and that was interesting to watch. Sadly, my breast cancer was on my left side, so there were some moments when they pushed that it twinged a bit...but, I did get to see my heart valve and hear it beating, just like my kids before they were born!!!

I have one more test before the results will be in...a stress test, but not till after our cruise...so, that's it for now...I sure hope that my heart is good...I almost asked if they could show me the part that loves all of you semi-colons!!!

Hugs, Kathi

I said to the tech yesterday, in response to 'so why are we doing this?', "I just need a rule out heart disease, so I can go on to a psychiatrist!".....ROFL!!

He responded "You are probably in better shape than I am!!!!"

Hugs, Kathi

WE are not growing older - we're being refined :)

Every day, every year older is a celebration of life....

The monitor is off, and is going back this morning to the cardiologist...so, now it's just a wait-and-see....something we semi-colons do so much of...lol!

Hugs, Kathi

With the "once a week" thing, I hope you send the needle off the chart!
Be well

Yeah, I really, really, really thought about doing that...you know, only for the sake of science and a good test....lol....but, I could not seem to find the right mood, with wires here and there, and a box hanging down....ROFL!

Thank you, phil for the kind words!!!

Hugs, Kathi

Kathi,

I agree with what usakat said- that we already know your heart is good! I believe you'll be fine, but I'll keep you in prayer.

Take care and enjoy your cruise!
