Well, I had the sleep test and apparently I have sleep apnea about 5 % of the time but only when I'm on my back. So if I lose some weight perhaps that will fix that. The stress test was interesting. They gave me the radiological marker through a IV and after 45 minutes they had me lay on a table to x-ray or some such machine to look at my heart. Then off to the stress test which was not as bad as I thought it would be. They used some kind of drug that opened up my arteries and allowed them to get what they wanted without making me work real hard on the machine. Then more x-rays or whatever. The PA that did the test said it look good and I should hear something from him or the cardiologist within a few days or so. So the PA called and said they found nothing really wrong with me but I can call the cardiologist in a day or so. I haven't! If there was something there I figured he would have called me. So I plan on exercising as much as I can. I've been walking at lunch time during work and I will do extra exercise on the weekends. Eating? I'm slowing down and trying to watch what I eat but it's hard sometimes. I like food. So I may not die this year, which is making Grammy and the kids happy. I think I will stick around a while longer.
