The visit to the
cardiologist today resulted in a change of medication for blood pressure and
heart rate. They did blood work to check my thyroid and kidneys. An EKG was done but nothing
seemed amiss. An echocardiogram will be
done at the hospital next week to check the functioning of my mitral valve, the
one that was repaired during heart surgery last year. They'll also equip me with a 24-hr heart
monitor to detect any abnormal heart rhythm. Until then I'm not supposed to
exert myself, so only moderate exercise.
I wish I had something funny to say about all this, but nothing comes to
mind.

perhaps think of fun ways to increase the heart rate on the 24 hour monitor, and then watch the doc's expression when you explain what you were doing.
Teresa- Thanks for adding the "funny." Wish I'd thought of that.
