I mentioned last week I would be under Medicare as of Saturday. That has happened and I now have an appointment with my cardiologist for next Wednesday morning bright and early. This is an office visit only. I expect him to order the usual tests and those will have to be set up. No doubt an echo cardiogram and blood work for sure.
I am hoping to avoid the chemical stress test, but time will tell on that. Since I can't walk, a traditional stress test is out of the question. I have had the chemical version a couple of times and it is no fun. So, I hope to avoid that if at all possible.
Once this stuff is done and we know where I am cardiac wise, I hope to be able to do something to at least help with the pain on the back and leg deal. I am not looking forward to being poked and prodded, but it is nice to be able to get seen health wise again.

Best of luck with the medicos.
Same here, Kevin. This is one time I can say I know what you're about to go through. Been through them more than once.
The last time I went through this stuff, I said to the nurse that they really needed to use a tricorder and make the deal faster. Not only did she have no idea what I was talking about she had never seen Star Trek.
I'm glad to hear you're finally in a position to do this.
Me too.
As other said, good you're back to seeing a physician about your ailments!
Thanks, Terry.
