I was fooling myself

I had my "cardiac stress test" today. I did the treadmill version. Hardest part is going without caffeine for 24 hours before. Fasting is not fun but is doable. My headache still is not gone. It may be from the stuff they inject to get pictures of your heart. Bob insisted I take the entire day off. I could have worked, with a headache. I imagined I would come home and get a lot done. Nope! I recharged my caffeine supplies and cuddled up under my heated throw and slept. I have some online stuff to do and will get to it pretty soon. The weather has been okay, but it is looking hazy now. That is not what the forecast said. I will check later and see if they have changed it up. Just letting everyone know that I am still alive and kicking!! Maybe I will be back later. Even on days I do not post a discussion I try to come look at a few discussions. Now it is time to get a bit serious with household things. Talk to you later.

Ugh. I am so sorry you have a headache from it. I hope you get all rested up, and I am so glad you took the whole day off.

If I ever have to do a stress test, I will ask for the chemical one.

I'm sorry you have a headache and hope you feel better quickly. If that's the same headache you've had for several days, you might want to talk to your doctor. I hope your stress test turns out well. Good luck! I am back in my bed this afternoon, too. I wasn't planning on that and am not sleepy right now but, I fell and banged my head... I get dizzy sitting up or standing up so Pretty told me to lie down and stay quiet.

Curious me: how long did you have to use the treadmill? I'm sorry about your headache.
