I received a call from my doctor's office that tomorrow I go in the hospital for a stress test. I've had them before, but I'm not too thrilled to take them. I'm not allowed caffeine after 6:00 tonight and for "breakfast" tomorow a slice of toast with a little jelly. Oh, the thrill of it all!

Best of luck David. I hope it goes well for you. I had one many years ago and it wasn't too bad. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. :)

Good luck David, I have heard that those aren't much fun. Are you going to do the treadmill or the injection? Will be thinking of you!

Jen, I just came back from spending three long hours at Braddock hospital. First they hooked me up to an EKG and injected me with something to see how my heart reacts. Then they put me on the treadmill. It was fine going slow, but when they elevated it and speeded it up, it was tough to catch my breath and my legs got really tired. What a workout for a guy with an artificial knee!! This was followed by two sets of MRIs then they let me go. I'll find out the results early next week. I hope they're positive!

I'm glad it's over, those things are never fun!
