Journal Entry for July 21, 2009 Mood
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Well today I went to see my doctor.  I have had really bad swelling in my feet, ankles and hands.  He did an ekg and results were not good.  I have had a problem with a heart valve for years, so they keep an eye on that.  My ekg was way worse than a year ago.  He is worried about the swelling.  So I am off to see the cardiologist AGAIN!!!!!  I hate this...I know that I shouldn't, but I do!  So here I go again...stress test, nuclear test, etc.  I don't feel like running on a treadmill!  My legs hurt too bad to even try!

Trying not to worry...but heart disease has ran rampant through both sides of my family.  My mother had a heart attack 2 years ago.  Just a little nervous about this...but I usually am when I have to go through all of this torture.  I am surprised that I don't glow in the dark because of all of the nuclear dye that they have pumped into my body! 

I just want to feel normal again...
