Dave,Hope they find everything in working order....Keep us posted!

I had one on the 8th and on the 12th my doctor got the results and said there was some concern about some sluggish movement around one part of my heart. I go for the next check on the 26th to Columbus to Riverside Hospital so if they think anything needs to be do they can do a "Stink" on the same trip. My only problem with the stress test was that I was warned that because of my TBI that I couldn't move very fast and I was afraid that if they treadmill got ahead of me it would slam me into the wall behind me. I thought I did OK but the must have gradede me on a curve. GPster

Hey Jack, they have a generic for * in Texas pharmacies now. You walk in, show your prescription, the druggist goes "Baaaaaaaaa" and you're good for 48 hours...

Crosley.In.AZ · December 19, 2006, 08:59:11 PM

hope you are doing well.

I had a stress test in 1999. They had me on a tread mill with probes hooked up every & then some.

My heart had failed the radiation test thingy where that huge * machine rotates slowly around your body.

Well, yesterday I got a 90% (blockage) as my grade. They introduced me to Angie O Plasty who balooned me around for a while and left me 2 stents. It'll be a while before I get that V6 running because I'm limited to 5# lifting but I should be able to manage installing the fuel pump when it comes. I'm supposed to see my doctor on the 15th and then start cardiac re-habilitation exercises for a while. I wanted to get that engine running before this but I quess it can wait. I guess sometimes it's a good idea to listen to your wife but it would have been easier if she had come up with her dionosis before all those doctors and their tests. GPster

Dave · December 28, 2006, 04:52:00 PM

Dam Joe.. That sucks as you and I both know. Hang in there and enjoy the rehab :!: i loved it and I met some really great people while i was doing it. IM curious here still waiting for my new keyboard thats why the caps! If i remember right when you had your accident you had a heart attack right :?:
Did you have any heart damage and obiously (spelling :?: ) you didnt this time cause you or the doctors (or the wife) caught it in time..
Dave

They were just worried about me going up stairs for 2 weeks after i got out. i live in a bi level so its 1 step up on the porch and then 7 to the main floor. hell i told em once i got to the main floor why would i need to go anywhere else.. I got every thing i need there

Did you have any heart damage and obiously (spelling :?: ) Depends on the doctor looking at the Xray. This doctor said that they are normally not normal. This deal was colesterol build-up

ps: they didnt give me a lifting thing at all.

I think it's mostly to keep from tearing up my groin where they went in with the probe. GPster

Joe,Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery....Take care of yourself!

I had a cardiac catheterization in 2000....everything went fine.

BUT, I had a blowout while in the hospital.

I pulled the emergency cord in the bathroom - where I was standing in a fast-growing pool of blood. Six nurses came running and - literally - clotheslined me back into bed where one of them climbed right in and put her fist in my groin with all her weight. (I believe I would prefer the sandbags, thank you!)

I had just gone through my eight-hours of lying still, and had permission to move around,

I think my mistake was to sit on the edge of the bed with my knee twisted up onto the edge of the bed - stretching THAT side of my groin.

Trust me....If you are limited to five pounds, you DO NOT want to lift ANYTHING over five pounds - or exceed five pounds worth of exertion, pulling or pushing on wrenches, etc. Personally, I would stick with FOUR pounds to be on the safe side.

I believe I can safely say you DO NOT want to experience a blowout.

I had tried to be released to go home, but they said they wanted to keep an eye on me overnight. I am glad I was in the hospital when it happened, and not at home.

Nurse estimated I lost nearly a pint of blood in a few seconds, and I had several fist-sized bulges under the skin where blood had pooled.

Of course, the nurse circled these bulges with a Sharpie for the doctor to see, and I started to look like a Jersey cow.
