Tomorrow morning I have to go and take an Echo Cardio Stress test. Today the hospital called to give me directions:
- no food or water 4 hours previous
- no heart medication
- comfortable shoes (it's a treadmill test)
- comfortable, 2-piece clothing.
That last one made me chuckle....those directions just suggest that someone came to do their treadmill run in some one-piece get-up. ha. Fortunately for everyone, I will not be wearing my shiny purple unitard tomorrow.
And for all those concerned, I'm taking the test because I infrequently experience brief moments of chest pain. The Dr. doesn't think it's anything serious (no heart attack) but we're doing a test just to see what's going on in their. I'm not too worried...mostly just embarrassed to do the test.
I have to admit, the unitard sounds like it would look fabulous... :-)
