Good news, and not so good news

Okay, I had my follow up appointment with my dr. today. I have a surgery date!!! My surgery is scheduled for December 26th. I'm quit excited about it. Things seem to be going quite well. Now for the interesting part. Well, the tests showed that I have asthma, and I got a presricption for it. Yay! Then, there was this other little glitch. My stress test came back with some not so good stuff. Appearantly it was abnormal, and there could be something wrong. So now I have to get a heart cath, and I might need a stint. The doctor of my choice is out of town on vacation. He goes to church with me, and his wife is my voice student, and good friend. So, I will get this done early next week probably. But it sure doesn't sound that good. The dr. said that by the looks of it, I need to get this done quickly. So, now does this suck, or what?

Doug,

You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I will be home in Paducah when you have your surgery. We are going to be there Dec. 22-27. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I know that the doctors are going to take great care of you. You are getting ready to start a new chapter of your life and I cant wait for your health to get better for you. You will feel so much better my friend. Let me know if I can do anything for ya. Things are going to be ok. Talk to you later!

No Doug this does not suck because if you did not get these test you could have been in real heart trouble. It is a blessing that they have found this early enough to be treated without consequences. So no running any marathons until this is done. Oh yeah congratulations on the December 26 band date. LOL Hey that's your Christmas present.
