Heart Healthy

Yesterday I went back to NorthWestern Hospital,to get an Echo-Stress/EKG test done on my heart...As heart disease and clogged arteries runs deep in my family (thank you Van Der Vlugt and Samson!)I thought it was about time to make sure MY arteries were not clogged,as I really want to grow old in New Orleans with Vincent....

First I had a nurse (male) put on about 25 sensors on my chest....and then on the table,and they took these AMAZING sonograms of my heart.....never seen anything like it....seeing my heart beat like that!

Then I was put on the treadmill (in a lovely hospital gown....now that was a sight to be seen!) and I was running until my heart rate was up to 190......then straight back on the table for more sonograms (apparently thats how they measure the opening of my arteries) A cardiologist comes by,and takes a look at the before and after sonograms,and Thank Budha,I was told I have a beautiful and healthy heart and unclogged arteries!

I also got my blood test results back from Dr Ramirez,and I am as healthy as can be.....Good to know!

Came home and celebrated with Vincent with homemade margarita's......Now I need to get Vincent to get his cholesterol checked......
