Good News Bears



My heart test results just came in ... and they are fine!!! It was worth taking most of Friday to find that out.

The Riverside called today and I have an appointment with the other specialist September 5.

I feel like a new woman, but it is a little strange that I feel relief because I wasn't really worried. You know how sometimes you just have a feeling that everything is either okay or it's not?

I was pretty sure that the chest pains were directly related to the stresses in my life at the time rather than to something physical.

And I have the same feeling about the other odd things that were happening at that time so I imagine that my visit to the Riverside will net similar results.

I am a pretty healthy old dame, you know.

The bears and the dragon in my den are to remind me that I need to play more and worry less.

Hey!!!
Wonderful news!!!
You found out quickly - I had to wait for ages to get my results...till I went to the doctor again a couple months later...I had already figured that all was ok...no news is good news!
So good to hear that all is ok in the heart dept!~

Congratulations, that's very good news. (Why were they looking anyway? Was it just routine maintenance?)

In the winter, around the time that Havoc's owner gave me the bum cheque, I began having what appeared to be angina attacks whenever I would exert myself. This property requires that I exert myself every time I go out the door, of course, and my life style is also physically demanding. So it was happening often, and I went to see my doctor. She gave me nitroglycerine and arranged the different stress tests at the Heart Institute.
