Blessed.
Merry after Christmas greetings to all! Every one was over for a wonderful Christmas celebration yesterday. Our tables groaned with food and so did our bodies! Such abundance and such a day of blessings. Since we have gone to drawing one name for Christmas it has taken such a burden off of shopping - and the pocket book, plus it has increased our fun in giving and receiving. I highly recommend it. Of course if there were little ones in the family they would still get a little something from each person; after all, you're only a kid once! We have been so blessed to have our children and grandchildren with us for every Christmas. I don't take that blessing lightly either, it is a gift.
Today I've done nothing at all except unload the dishwasher from yesterdays festivities. I read a bit, napped for a bit and fretted for a bit.
Stressed.
Tomorrow morning I have to go the the Cardiologist for a stress test. Because of my knees, I can't do it on the treadmill, I have to have the IV injection that increases your heart rate. That's what I'm stressing about. On the treadmill, I can stop. I'm in control. When I have some sort of drug injected into my veins, my control is gone. To add to my uncertainty, I've heard people who have had it tell me how horrible it is. The only person who told me it didn't bother them was Hal. Makes me wonder. Makes me stress.
If I come to mind, it wouldn't bother me one little bit if you feel like saying a prayer for me. I'll be getting it done at 10am EST Tuesday. Oh, on top of this...it takes several hours! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.......
~It is well with my soul

I don't think I would like this either. I have tomorrow off and will certainly pray for you!
Pat,
I will be praying for you I promise.
I have MVP and sometimes my heart beat goes off or goes to fast. It is uncomfortable but normally I can take an anti anxiety pill and it will return to normal in 20 minutes or so. Know that the doctors have medications that will return your heart to normal in a short period of time. This is very uncomfortable and I'm right there with you. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Please let us know how you are once it is over. Bless you friend. You will be ok.
Hi Pat,
Please try not to worry about your test. Like Hal, I've also had this test and it didn't bother me one bit either.
I just prayed for you and I will remember to pray before the test. You will be alright taking it because the
Lord will be right there with you. Now get some sweet sleep tonight and keep your heart and mind on Him and His love for you.
Love,
Sandy
Yip that sounds pretty bad. I will do my best to remember you.
Keep you chin up and you eyes open.

Well for several years I took my mom to have that test done and she never complained or said that it bothered her. I think they stopped doing the stress test on her when she got into her eighty's. Now they just do the ultra scan and her doctor tells her that her heart is just the same as when she first started coming to him. (She has A-fib ? caused by a leaky valve) I will pray for you now and expect that all will go well for you tomorrow.
I will just be praying for you and I'm sure others will be, too. Hold on to the One who lives in your heart.
The stress test is necessary for your knee operation. All persons in our age range should have had one by now, I think the induced kind would be less stressful. I,ve had the treadmill and THAT is HARD you get really pushed to your limit ! Let us know how it turns out.
Rita should go to a heart specialist I had the same thing all my life, Doctor recommended ablation it's a world of difference you can't believe it. Take care Love Bob
Hello Pat! AHH I just read your post! I hope and pray all went well for you today! Just the normal pitter-patter of the heart is enough let alone making it happen! I have heard of stress tests before but that just seems scary. By the time you read this it will be over with and all will have went splendidly! Please keep us informed ok~:)
I just got here, but I hope everything went well today, it doesn't sound like fun at all.
