As many of you know, I had been out of work for 2 1/2yrs on an injury.... I then went to work as an Instructor in December of '08.... Well, I also posted around this time that I had made the selection in a couple of Gov't jobs.... Well here's the deal... I was given a start date of Jan 18th to go to work with the VA... so, I put in my 2 weeks notice at the college and planned on going to work for the VA... but wait, they do not schedule my physical till a day or two before my report to work date.... My last day at the college was the 16th.... So, I go for my physical and they find problems with my ekg.... so they send me for a nuclear stress test, the results come back showing that I possibly have a blockage... During this time I also get offered a position with ICE.... so I go for the physical... same thing, problems with the EKG... so I see a cardiologist on Monday who tells me that he wants a sonogram of my heart which I have done yesterday, and they want me to go have the procedure where they put the camera up the artery in my leg to view the arteries leading to my heart.... Mind you, I had heart surgery at an early age, and I told the doctors that I have never had a regular EKG reading in my life... The cardiologist seems to think that scar tissue could be part of the problems with the readings that they are getting back... so, what should I do? Do I risk having this procedure just to qualifiy for a job??? I mean my cholesterol was at 124 in January, and a couple of weeks ago it was at 83
What would ya'll do? In the mean time no job....
