mwrarr 244 Posted November 7, 2012 I finally had my stress test done yesterday! Good news all around.... #1- he said I have an incredibly strong heart muscle & no evidence of plaque or ischemia/etc. He also was shocked that I made it 9 minutes. I'm not sure if that's good or average, but he said he really only expected 3 out of me. (dar...I *told* you I worked out 5x/wk. Did u think I was lying bc I'm almost 300#?!) this is awesome news as my mother died at age 32 from a massive heart attack & for 20 years now I've been tormented by the worry that I would follow suit. #2- THIS was my FINAL referral hoop!!! I (finally) meet with my surgeon on Friday & discuss the info collected from all these referrals (8-? Appts over the last 2 months!) & find out what to expect next.... I have no idea how it will play out. It has been full of changes & twists & turns, so I wouldn't even be surprised if he sends me to see someone else. 347*294/285/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinsMama 483 Posted November 8, 2012 Congrats on doing well and having a good heart! Funny how Drs assume larger people don't work out. You showed him...hehe! Hope you are done with the hoops, keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwrarr 244 Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks! I hope so, too!! Lol I'll find out today. I have a follow up/review with the cardiologist this morning, & a follow up/review of referral appts this afternoon with my surgeon. Seems like the appts never end! ;} 347*294/285/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
