Well as I mentioned before, the docs want me to get my heart checked out prior to surgery on Wednesday because the severe anemia may weaken a heart. So first thing this morning at 7:30 AM I will be checking into the hospital for two tests that will take about 4 hours; they are Myocardial Perfusion Study/ Dobutamine protocol and 2-D w/CFD Echocardiogram - one of these is a chemical stress test, no way I'd be able to do a physical stress test.
Apparently my other illnesses require my heart be checked on a regular basis - who knew? So now I have a cardiologist too. Well I don't really know what they do for this test other than give me an IV of radioactive isotopes and take pictures. Hopefully it will all be good because if I'm not cleared for the surgery I am going to go out of my mind! Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes...hugs jilly

You are in my thought Jilly, take good care of yourself and tell those docs to take good care of you too. Hope all goes well this week.

I hate to see you go thru all these surgies. its very bad for your heart. you need to have at least 2 drs tell you the same thing. you can build your blood back up on the right eating. I lost over 2 pts in a accident and did it by eating right and taking medication. the more you see these drs and everything the most its going to hurt you. no more surgies for you please. try something else. hugs gail

Hope you did ok with these tests!! I have had the stress test three times, and I hated it!! I refuse to do it ever again unless I am comatose!! lol The echo is easy. I will bew thinking of you sweety. I have read your journals from the past few days, sounds like they mean business this time!! All I have been doing is getting test myself. Let us know how you are doing, but rest is the main thing you need to do !! Hugs SAndy
