Today I made a return visit to the cardiologist for a stress test. (I think I failed to mention last weeks visit). They told me expect to be there between four and six hours. And I was. I got to spend quality time on the treadmill, and I managed to catch 40 winks during an MRI. The MRI took about twenty minutes. I fell asleep during this no few than four times. I know this because I woke up four times due to sleep apnea. *snort*. Last weeks visit included an echo cardiogram. That was pretty cool. I got to see the valves in my heart open and close.
I am now taking a pill everyday to lower my blood pressure. It was down at 138/88 today from last weeks high of 178/114. I am also taking an alternative remedy for high cholesterol, a glass of red wine every night. My initial reaction to these new daily chores was less than positive. It takes me a long time to develop a new habit. Ok, the wine isn't so bad. It's just having to remember it.
Perhaps I need something for my memory too.
