I think the cardio vascular complications may be catching up with me.<\/p>\n
I have been having troubles running the dogs in agility.<\/p>\n
Today I went to the cardiologist for my annual checkup. Nuclear stress test time. I should have realized something was up when shortly after they started xrays, the nurse practioner started following me around. I was actually relieved she was collecting my medical history during the test rather than waiting after.<\/p>\n
Oh, and you need to know about this — in the middle of the test, my phone rang and it was my pulmonary specialist. They wanted to see me at 1:00 pm. The techs said I could get there then, of course, I didn’t tell them that the pulmonary specialist is at big Baylor. We were in far north Dallas.
\nOh, that the doctor wasn’t taking BCBS but I could be out of network. Oh well….<\/p>\n
At the end of the test, the tech said that the cardiologist wanted to see me. Gee, it was just last year when I bitched about paying $345 which was 20% of the total charge and not once seeing the cardiologist, wasn’t it.<\/p>\n
Well, he said the test was border line and he wants to check for blockages. They are supposed to call and make an appointment. At this point, I hadn’t decided if I was telling husband or not.<\/p>\n
I got to big Baylor at about 1:20, but there was a huge line waiting for the valet — and it was going to be the fastest and actually not any more expensive way to park the car. So I got up to the office at 1:30. The even funner part is that an old friend of mine and my husband (we each met him seperately before we got married or EVEN met). I blurted out the cardiologist news without thinking — then realized I then had to tell the husband right away.<\/p>\n
Seems that the pulmonary specialist wants me to have an autoPAP, and wanted me to have a specific brand rather than getting the old machine repaired.<\/p>\n
We worked out a deal with the DME, I have an autoPAP now, and they are going to process the paperwork on a new smaller one as soon as it comes out, sometime in the next 90 days.<\/p>\n
So all in all, it was good and bad.<\/p>\n
