Nuclear Stress Test

So did my EKG last Friday as well as my Psyc eval. EKG came back abnormal. Today i saw the cardiologist and to get clearance for surgery they are having me do a nuclear stress test next week.

    I had to have one (my clinic required it for everyone over age 50 (which I was..), or under 50 if they'd had a history of heart issues) it's not bad - part of it just feels weird. They put you i

    I’ve never had one but I’m sure it’s just a precaution. Good news is even if it comes back abnormal at least you learned something is going on with your heart before it becomes an issue and they can m

Iron deficiency anemia? Let us know

Nope! The bloodwork says I'm increasing pretty much everything, only concern is being on the low end of vitamin D (but I just survived another Nordic winter, it is what it is without sun) and slightly high in potassium, which I have no idea why is happening.

A clue might be that I went from not being a diabetic to super-not being a diabetic - my blood sugar is extremely stable, but below normal levels. So that might explain the popsicles (I've made peace with them by making a little room for them in my daily mix of foods).

Everything else looks great. So I'll keep looking for answers.

Maybe you just like lemons. My kid eats them like apples.

Found. It's quite good.

Let me know how it comes out. What I didn’t love about CFA diet (American sized) lemonade is the pulp so I wonder how homemade would compare.

Will do. The watermelon won the evening race tonight, and it's gym time now, so I'm expecting protein bars for a late night snack in a good hour or so :D

That chest isn't going to make itself, ya know. Now liver pate on rye to finish at 2,900 cals for the day :D (iron and protein, what's not to like)

LOL, I always say that when I'm in the US! My gym is 5am - midnight tho, so that's neat, only staffed until 8pm, but somehow it works - no vandalism or unpleasant behavior, I guess the gym bros kinda keep things in order. It's very nice to work out late, I think. And I'm still the happiest moron on the treadmill at the end of liftin' (gotta get a sprint in, as I hate running ... so I just do 5 minutes at full speed until my lungs are about to fall out and that's it).
