Ok – you know how I said the stress test was a horrible experience? WELL, it really was. Forty-five minutes after I got back to my room, the doctor came in and told me that my stress test did not look good. He said that there was a small area on the front wall of my heart that looked like it was not getting enough circulation. He saw a change during the stress test and there was a change in my EKG. They said that the reason I was in so much pain was because I had a mild heart attack during the test.
So tomorrow morning at 9am, they are going to do a catherization to see what the cause is. I didn’t post before now because I was waiting for John to get home to tell the children and I knew they were monitoring the blog.
I have to say that I am in better shape now than when they told me the news. It was very disturbing to hear that this is really this serious and I was home all weekend with chest pain. I was so sure the doctor was going to come in here and tell me that I was fine and I needed to go home and stop worrying so much. At least I know what is going on and now they can work to fix it.
Now that the initial shock of it all is over, I am thanking God for holding me through all this and that I am still here; able to see John and my children again. Even though a catherization is scary, I can’t imagine it being scarier than what I went through this morning. I know that He will be here with me in the morning getting me through the next step. I am so thankful I have Him to lean on.
Thank you all for your prayers and visits as well. If I am not able to do it, somebody will keep up the blog tomorrow so you guys can know what is going on. Love you all!
Robin
