Stress Test and Echo

Yesterday was my stress test and echocardiogram.


First was the stress test, which was tiring!  I am not an exerciser (at least at this point).  I have been in the past, but it's been a while.  

I made it 7 min 18 sec.  My cardiologist told me that the average is 6-8 minutes.  I am so OK with being average!  I probably would have pushed myself harder if I knew I was that close to breaking the "average", but I didn't know until I was done.  She said that she had enough information at that point anyway.  That incline was tough!

Next was the echo.

I am very blessed that she will just call me with the results and I don't need a follow up appointment.  I will only require a follow-up if there is a problem on the echo.  

So assuming no issues, that should be it for my cardiac clearance!

One less hurdle to cross on my way to the new me!

I also woke up super, duper early this morning to have my bloodwork drawn for the endoscopy.  I didn't trust waiting until Saturday - since they are calling for a LOT of snow.  Baby steps...I will get there.
