Stress Test

Well I guess if you don't have a heart attack during your stress test ....it means you passed....that last 20 seconds was rough....I was jogging, sweating like a pig and now my face is all red.  I had one of my coughing spells during it...while the Doctor was there....so he got to wittness it...he asked how long I've had  cough...I said according to my husband 2 years....he asked how the quitting smoking is going....I say I haven't smoked since the visit I was started on Welbrutrin....(keep in mind all this is going on while I'm on the treadmill at a pretty good pace and incline).....he asks any fever or chills...I say no...then he says...we are almost through....we need to go a little faster and more incline....can you do it...I say sure as long as I jog....I can't walk any faster.....so the treadmill starts to stop...he says you did good....and leaves...I have to hurry and lay on the table for the after ultra sounds of my heart...and that is that.....I do have an appointment on Monday....so maybe we will talk about te cough then.......I am using the excuse of having the stress test for wearing a cute exercise outfit and my sneakers to work.

   I wish I could find a picture with the outfit all together.....but just so you know just because I wore exercise attire to work....I don't look like a bumm.
 
I'm a little bummed about Valentines.....I really wanted to go to a nice place.....but by the time I knew for sure my back would be OK...there is not a reservation to be had at a nice, romantic place (I tried about 20-25 places)....so we are going to Love and War in Texas....they have live music too...so if we can't be romantic....at least we will have fun....
 
 
PS....I forgot....I started a grandma blog

Cute!

Very cute outfit, where did you get it?

I'm glad you didn't have a heart attach during your stress test! Sound good to me. Hopefully your cough is just bronchitis or something not so bad. Both my parents have COPD and I know I am heading there if I don't quit smoking soon. My dr. said I should focus on getting my weight under control before I quit smoking. That way if weight gain comes along with it I will know how to handle it. They give you wellbutrin here too. My mom took and it made her crazy (like for real) Have you had any problems with it?

Cute!

What a cute outfit!!! And comfy.

So glad to hear no heart attacks today. 

Way to go on no smoking!!!

glad everything

went okay with the test.

And what a super-cute outfit!! I seen several cute outfits at Target this week while I was shopping. But, I didn't buy any because I decided I will make it a reward for when I hit 199/200!!

Your doing great!

Stress Test

Before the doctor (whose care I was under after having 2 blood clots go to my lungs 5 years ago) would take me off of some medicines, he wanted me to do a stress test...at age 42!  You are so right about it getting so tough at the the end...truly a test of our stamina!  LOL...I wound up passing mine with flying colors, so if you made it through, you will probably have a great report too!

Your outfit is super-cute!  Where did you get it?

Stress Test

Very nice outfit.  I love pink.

It sounds like you did great on your stress test.  As far as the cough goes, it's always good when the doctor actually sees it and you are not just telling him about it.
