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 sisters in pink!!!

Hugs, Kathi

    Your remark about "once a week" reminds me of what my brilliant dad once said were the 3 phases of a long-term sexual relationship:

    Tri-weekly, Try weekly, and Try Weakly!

    Glad to see you are still in phase two! LOL

    Hugs,

    I'm glad that you are getting things checked out--I know that you were a little concerned. Now, hopefully, you can know that all is well.

    Electrocardiogram was my favorite test! Because of your posts, and because I've had A/C and T, I'm going to request seconds. I am praying for good results for you, Kathi. (When's your cruise?) xoxoxoxo Lynn

    Kathi,
    Good thoughts are aimed your way (Holland, America, Cruise Ships I put them on call forwarding) for good results. Enjoy your cruise and hopefully all will be well with all these tests. But if there is anyone who will fight anything they might find it will be you. You are a courageous warrior, not only for yourself but for Hans and for all of us. I know you have a good heart, they just need to confirm it.

    I LOVE it!!!!
    Chen, I can always count on you for a giggle!!!

    When the tech asked me why 'we' were doing this yesterday, I replied "To rule out heart damage, so that I can go on to the Psychiatrist!".

    I am writing your dad's saying down....WHAT a HOOT!!

    Thank you, my friend!
    Yes, Maureen, it's always something with me....actually, I may have helped it a bit...started taking more iron and calcium....seems to be better already...

    You GO, girl!!!
    I'm glad that you can learn from my mistakes...lol...I was never concerned...

    On our cruise, we leave from Long Beach on Sunday, Nov 29. We stop in Mazatlan, Puerta Vallarta, and Cabo.

    I'm getting rather excited...7 days of sun, then, at the end of December, I will take my sun-drenched body to Holland, to the land of the ice, snow, and dark (it's dark there by about 4 every day in winter...lol...GREAT for catching up on sleep!!!)

    Hugs, Kathi

    Thank you for the good thoughts!!!

    Hope that monitor only shows certain activities....you might get a funny look next time you go in to see the doc!
    Hope you have a great cruise, it sure will keep the stress down, but not usually the weight..
