Hi guys (and gals)

This is the first I have been here today. I got up and went with Bob for his stress test. A cardiac test. They did not let him do the treadmill, they gave him the chemicals to send his heart rate up. We were all finished and back to school an hour before they said we would be. While I waited I phoned, the bank, and another doctor, and changed some times and dates trying to miss less work. I think I succeeded for the most part. The bank was an easy fix. They had frozen my card because of my Amazon Prime Subscription. I had problems with it at Tracfone before that because I did not update my CVV when I got a new card. The ear nose and throat doctor will be on my day off. We will have to go to Wichita, but that is okay, I can go with Bob. We will have our cardiac followup together, in Marion, on a Wednesday. Both of us will have had Echo cardiograms and the stress test. I left my stress test on the same day it was scheduled and time because there was no change that would help. I tried to schedule my Echo, but our Marion radiology department said they did not have the orders. Since I was at the Cardiologist, the medical assistant/receptionist faxed the orders, plus gave me a paper copy to hand carry, cause it had been sent before. It will be tomorrow. All kinds of fun. Bob came home and took a nap. I worked the rest of the day, fueled the car, scheduled my appointment, shopped for some ingredients I needed for my meals this week. Bob is cooking a frozen pizza. I have eaten today, but boy I am hungry. I hope I can come back later.

Sometimes it does indeed get busy. Then I have something to write about.

My tests are just because I am a new patient and it has been almost three years since I have had them. I hope Bob's gives us some answers.

It is not really scary but it can be exhausting. The idea is to get your heart pumping vigorously to make sure it is pumping properly. It is done in a medical setting so you have care if something does go wrong.

@GardenGerty exhausting as well. strong heart beating always made me uncomfortable and nervous, don't why. it's good that someone is there for you, during these tests

I am glad to hear the bank was an easy fix. I had been concerned about that. You had a very busy day! I hope you enjoy your frozen pizza!

It was a thin crust this time, and other kinds are better. Yes, the bank was much easier than I anticipated.

So far so good. Now we head into another week and just possibly a paid day off due to snow.

You had a very busy day but accomplished a lot. I'm glad that it worked out where you both get things taken care of on the same day. Hurry home and have some pizza.

If I had more time off it would be nice. One of these days I will retire.

@GardenGerty I remember days like that. I do kind of miss them.

I had the meds once when I was having trouble breathing. The last time I had a test, I got up to the target heart rate in two songs (I had my iPod playing ). Hope the results are positive!

On Bob's I do not expect a positive results. Mine should be. Yeah, my heart rate will go up easily.

You had quite the day getting things accomplished and looks like everything went smoothly for the most part. Sometimes, frozen pizza is the way to go. I like the rising crust kind like Digionos.

DiGiorno's rising crust is really good. This was an extra thin crust and not as good, but it was fast.

@GardenGerty Sometimes, fast is good. I haven't made pizza in awhile. My son did one in his outside pizza maker a couple months ago.

I seem to have a few appointments over the next few weeks but none are too onerous.

There are more doctors being added to Bob's list right now. Hardest thing is to get time off to go with him.

It's good that the card was an easy fix. Amazon Prime, I will have to remember that when my card expires and I get a new one. Amazon Prime is a big part of our lives lol
