It's late I know, but it can't be helped. Home after a bunch of time (wasted....hurry up and wait) at the
local cardiac care unit in the largest hospital chain in the metro area. Short version......Marcella has been
dealing with chest pain, arm tingling, shortness of breath. GP doc sees an "abnormality" on an office EKG.
Go to the cardiac unit at his accepted hospital for a stress test.....physical, not chemical. She lasts 3 minutes.
Stress test is NOT NORMAL (?). Time for a cardiac catheritazation.................2 heart specialists and a 3rd call in for consultation decide she's ok.......in fact, her heart is SOOOOO good they were strongly suggesting she be a heart donor (?!?!??!?!?!?!??!!???????).
Bottom line, no Quincy for me/us. She's confined to quarters for at least 48 hrs and absolutely, NO lifting/
pushing/pulling with the arm where the dye was injected. Get up and move around for 10 minutes every 2
hours.
Maybe Delmar.........Thanks to Bill Mc for his help.
