And the heart saga continues...

Hi Everyone,

Got a call from my GP's office and the tape in the holter monitor

came back blank!!! Some technical thing happened and it didn't

record a dang thing, so now I've got to get another bloody halter

test done. Is there no mercy? My skin will just be barely healed

and it'll be savaged again. This will be a different hospital doing

the holter though, and I'll tell them before they touch me that I

have *very very very sensitive skin* and reacted to the tape and

adhesive. Maybe they'll have hypoallergenic tape or something they

could use... I can always hope can't I?

So holter monitor, the sequel, starts on May 4th. I also have an

appointment to get another echocardiogram done and that's on the

28th. They're hoping to have all my test results by May 6th -10th

and get me an appointment with either the GP or internist to discuss

it all and go on from there. I'm a little drained as I was hoping to

know most of the story tomorow or Thursday. I'm just so tired of

tests and waiting, but all in due time I guess :-X

Sorry for the rant. On the plus side the secretary I deal with is SO

SO sweet, always asks how I'm doing and jokes with me. My GP is

pretty darn good too. (a million times better than the one I left

when we moved in Sept.)

HUGS all... hope everything is A-OK with everyone! Anyone else

getting niiiiice weather in Ontario?

Ugh, how annoying! Can you wait a little while before you leap into the

next tests, so that your skin can heal a little bit and be more comfortable?

There is no easy solution for this for you it seems!

Hang in there Rhea!

Ask them to put Skin Prep on first before putting the patches on, it will

help. Why are they doing a 2nd echo? Are you feeling okay?
