Started @ 7:30 this morning; Had radioactive dye then my Heart Stress Test and my blood pressure reached way over 200; when I sat down could hardly breath. They told me I could have another blockage but would wait for all the Xrays pictures to come back before making any sort of decision. So I had the second set of Xrays and sent to my regular doctor.

She seems to think I have a pinched nerve in my spine causing a Bruising feeling in my forearm, pinching in my elbow, and my little finger and the one next to it going numb. So.... BACK for more Xrays on my neck, shoulders, and even in my throat. Didn't finish up until 2pm.

Oh Well, someday I gotta realize I'm getting OLD ~LOL~

If I had something to MOD, I'd be out there MODDING right now. Tee keeps giving me grief about NOT slowing down.

Not sure what I'll hear Monday, but my left arm seems to be getting worse. The pain has now moved up to my shoulder and feel pulling sensation in my neck. Hmmmm.

Got GREAT news from the Doctors at the VA Hospital today. They told me my heart was doing OK and NO severe blockages like before so NO need to anything at this point in time. Then they told me my results came back from the Xrays on my back, neck and throat and saw NO nerve damage there either. I will have to go see a Nerve Specialist to see what the pain in my arms may be coming from. Needless to say pretty releaved. THANKS EVERYONE ~ BELIEVE IT IS PARTIAL DUE TO YOU ALL!!!
