Stress test coming up you say? If you get a choice, ask for the chemicals as it is easier for them to control things. I had one on May 8th, Thursday afternoon that started at 1:10 PM. At 1:13 PM it had turned into a heart attack and the techs kept asking if I wanted to stop but they said they would have to do it over so I stuck it out! The heart doctor came in and watched the test and when the doctor comes in, it is never a good sign! Since I was already admitted, which they have to do to give you an IV, I was whisked to a room to await the catheter to see if stents could be inserted. The arteries at my heart was about 70% clogged so bypass was the option to do. The doctor said the B/P, cholesterol, etc were all in good shape so he figured it "was just my turn" and he said he gets a few of those each year?!

After some months now, I feel 1,000,000% better and today went and practiced for this weekend's muzzle loader match and shot better than I had in several years! So anyways, I hope you have some great doctors, as I did during this and are not hampered by insurance issues as some folks are!
