Flying colors..
at least the EKG part anyway. The doctor told me that I passed the EKG stress test with perfect results. Now I have to wait for the results of the dye imaging camera pictures. That is the hardest part of the test. You lie flat for 20 minutes while the imaging machine is taking the pictures. You have to lie perfectly still with both arms raised above your head. This really made my shoulders and back hurt as I have arthritis and bone spurs in my neck and shoulders. Then you walk on the treadmill for 20 minute with increased speeds and going up hill. This part was not difficult for me at all as I am used to working out each day. Then back to lie down with arms raised above my head for another 20 minutes. I will find out the results of the imaging when I see my primary doctor on Monday. Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts and prayers. I had a couple of guys from Upstairs holding my hands so I knew it would be OK. Thank you Carole for reminding me.
I am off to do some visiting.

I am so glad the first parts over with Beth, and I know waiting for the results is stressful, but my fingers are still crossed for you. Makes typing real difficult ...but you're worth it!!

I've been through that myself Beth. Its not fun, but I hear its the most complete way to find any problems. Keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteGlad the first part is positive, prayers second part will be also. It sure doesn't sound like much fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, nice to catch up with you again, I saw you had commented on my blog thank you, I thought you were another lost friend with the upheaval, I hope you continue blogging here as I find Wp a bit more difficult, but I'll have another go.
ReplyDeleteApart from that I'm sorry you're still having a rough time and I hope the scans are going to prove beneficial and are worth it. keep in touch and lots of good vibes coming your way.
hi beth
ReplyDeleteYour tests dont sound very nice, pleased that so far, it is okay. thank you for your comment on my post. have a nice weekend. hugs - nita
Beth, that is wonderful news! Pray the rest is as good.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Such great news! I know you'll do wonderfully on the rest of the things you have to do. I'm glad for the ability to hear what's going on with you while so far away my friend. God bless and keep you.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you right steady in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteHappy the first part is fine. You are in my prayers for the second part. Holding your arms up that long I know wasn't fun but you got through it girl. Easy does it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth good news so far you are in my thoughts. Take good care of yourself , its a lovely day here for a change so will be heading outside pretty soon. Hugs Sheila
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the good news with us. Hope to hear more of it on Monday. Fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteMy card arrived this morning, thank you for thinking of me, in the midst of your troubles. Hope you are doing okay today, after your tests.
Have a peaceful blessed Sunday, Hugs Nita
So glad to hear the first part is fine and I bet the rest is too. Still praying for you. Holding your arms up for 20 minutes, doubt I could.
ReplyDeleteHope the dye test results come back with good news. I can relate to the bone spurs and arthritis. I have both in my spine, in addition to hardware from 2 fusions. Having to lie perfectly still in an awkward position while getting MRIs is pure torture. It also means someone else has to go with me so they can drive home. Raining my arms above shoulder level triggers my back and neck, causing a load of pain and making my arms and hands numb for a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon, Beth. I'm beat up enough for the two of us.
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeletePut a comment for you on my space, but thought after, you may not see it. Just want to thank you so much for your friendship, your prayers and the love you show me across the ocean, it means a lot. love Nita.
