I guess it is my turn again.
Been feeling bad, doc referred me to cardio, cardio said, "oh no, we are skipping the stress test you are past that"
Got echocardiogram @ 10:30 this morning and am sure it will lead to a left heart cath.
Move over obriar and give me some room on the table ....

Oh, sorry to hear that - hang on in there!
I am super sorry to hear that! The stress test is life. It wears on the body. Hang in there my friend. You've got this! Keep us informed... please. You are family.

I do not have the ECHO results yet, scheduled the left heart cath for next Wednesday !
Most of us know what happens in that room ....
From the last time in one of them rooms, this is a plastic clamp gizmo that they put on the spot where they ran the very small cath wires into my wrist, across my chest, and into my heart. Oh and you must be awake and coherent during the procedure.

As they were prepping me they explained what they were doing. Next, some guy is shaving half my junk. I said hey... you said the wrist. He said just in case we need a second entry. It was life saving for me so I'm not bitching. Good luck my friend.

LOL, I forgot about the shaving part.
As sore as my wrist was afterwards I can not imagine going the other route ...

I don't remember my wrist being terribly sore. They wouldn't let me move for a day and then would not let me lay on my side or stomach which is how I normally sleep. They seemed to be very concerned about the wrist entry and kept telling me not to move my wrist in fear that it would blow out. It sounded serious but I think they were trying to keep me still. I have my fingers crossed for your procedure. Nothing but positive vibes your way!
Thinking of you my friend. Good luck tomorrow!!!
Hope all goes well.

Outstanding news man. We are glad you survived that Ozone.
I saw my kidney Dr today. He was blown away by my numbers. He said your numbers are great and incredible for a man your age taking your meds. I'd like to see you again but in a year unless you don't want to see me again. I have an appointment Nov 16 2026 lol

I watch my diet but not to an excess. I contribute my decent blood and urine numbers to being super active. I don't think I could have a couple of beers most every day otherwise. 🤣 I hope it is being active that is the major contributor. I love doing and hate idle. I dread the day when I can't go.
