Bummed out

Hi everyone.Today I have been just bummed.I had a stress test done in two parts Thursday and Friday morning per Dr.Weaver's orders.I got a call from the nurse late this morning stating that my test came back abnormal.Now I am scared and upset.I do not know what is abnormal in my test.The nurse set me up with an appointment for the Cardio Dr on May 22.I need a Cardiac Clearance now before I can have the surgery.IT is like it has been one thing after another.I have been working on trying to have this surgery almost 2 years now by having to save up certain monies and so forth.Both my PCP and Dr.Weaver has been having me do test since November of last year in peparation for the surgery.I have passed everything with flying colors except this.I know that she is doing everything as a precaution but it is just emotionally draining me.The nurse could not tell me what was abnormal with my heart.So I have to sit here and wait until May 22nd to find out what is wrong with me.I pray and hope that it is nothing serious especially nothing that is going to stop me from having my surgery in July.I am scared because I do not know what is wrong and upset at the same time.My echocardiogram came back normal but this stress test was abnormal.I am just baffled.I could just cry.

Oh NO!..I am so sorry for you....that is so hard, but it will all work out like it is supposed to.  It's just part of the journey, I promise!  I will keep my fingers crossed & my hands folded for you!  xo, Micheala.

Thanks I appreciate it.

I sent you a PM on the subject.  Read my blog.  Sounds like a repeat of me.  As my good friend Scott would say BREATHE   It will be OK.   I did and it was. 

Thanks for the PM pep talk.

I don't know anything about those kind of tests, but I
JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT NEED A HUG!

Thank you Rhonda.

We do this surgery to be healthy, right?  It really is a good thing to know what shape our bodies are really in.  You don't want to go to surgery with somehing that could cause a problem.  All this will conribute to your health.  You will get through this and you wil get through it safely!   We all will be praying for you to have peace during this stressful time.  Eriika

Thanks Erika for the pep talk.

It must be very frustrating to hear that there was an abnormal and then have to wait until the 22nd for more details.  I think I'd cry and scream.  It's easy for me to say to relax, yet if you can... go for it.  Like Erika said, we're doing this to get healthy.  When we get to a certain age, it's pretty routine to have those extra cardiac tests.  If it was really urgent, they would insist that you get in there right away. Waiting until the 22nd might be just routine for a little blip that needs to be looked at closer.  PM me anytime if you just want to scream in private.
