    Now I didn't know it was possible to pass the stress test but not the EKG. The other way around, yep I knew that.

    Step at a time, Ellie, prayers from RI. We got Sparky's issues calmed down, next is to work on your issues.

    Not an EKG Sandie - an echocardiogram. It amounts to an ultrasound of the heart where they view how it pumps, on a t.v. screen.

    But maybe it's a good thing, and they can check out your ticker and make sure it'll keep going for a long time to come! We'd rather that than have you have a bad reaction to the anesthesia and expire on the operating table! You'll continue to be in our prayers.

    Karen is right. Better to find anything that might go wrong sooner, better than later. It is good to have everything checked out while
    you are there so you can relax & breath easier when you come back home. Prayers continue that all goes smoothly for you. (((Hugs)))

    Sending prayers and good thoughts. I hope the echocardiogram is scheduled and over with soon so you can get the surgery done.

    HUGS!

    Ellie, Hang in there! I'm sure you're disappointed that surgery had to be postponed... but tis better to check you out BEFORE the knee surgery. When I had an echo done two years ago, there was an area that couldnt be seen clearly (something was questionable) so a cath was recommeneded. I had cath done and was relieved when nothing wrong was found. It relieved my poor liddle mind. Hope there's nothing wrong with you. Hope you and the furbabies are doing good. ((Hugs)) Kay

    So sorry about the delay on the knee. Hopefully they will determine your heart is just fine and then you can proceed. Saying a prayer for you.
