Finally

Just heard from the nurse at the cardiologist.

I got back an equivocal study. The nurse said that was common in women and that 8 out of 10 times, it comes back normal. Equivocal means that the doctor could not see certain parts of the heart because a muscle was blocking the view.

The doctor even said that my uncontrolled gastric reflux could be causing the problem.

I will be getting a test, basically a CT scan with iodine that replaces the old catherization. It takes about 30 minutes. I probably won’t hear from the lab that needs to do the test for at least anyother week.

She recommends that I keep my activity level about the same, but not make any major changes or add to my program until we get the test done. She also agree, because of the local weather conditions that I do cut some of my agility practice runs in half.

In other words, don’t panic. I hate waiting.
