Good morning!
And Happy Friday! Another long work week is almost finished.
I had a stress echo test this morning. I have been dreading this thing ever since my doctor scheduled it. I knew what it entailed as I had had one several years ago. It was originally scheduled for last Wednesday (1/11) but because of that darn cold/virus/whatever you want to call it, I had to re-schedule. Which wouldn't have been so bad except that my doctor told me right out that he didn't think I should walk for exercise until I had had the test done. Well, that wasn't going to happen and I kept walking. But then, there was always that little niggling thought in the back of my mind every time I walked, wondering if I really was going to have a heart attack.
Anyway, had the blasted stress/echo morning and skated right through it with absolutely no trouble. Ultrasounds were fine. EKGs were fine. My heart is sound and my rating was way above Average. They were really impressed.....it's all that walking that I do! So all that worry and stress....over nothing really. (When I got up this morning, I got on the treadmill at home, but only did 2 miles instead of my normal 3. That plus the test gave me my exercise for this morning; the test was pretty much all uphill and I'm trying to get myself back up to a fairly good incline on the treadmill at home.)
My question for you this morning: Did you ever worry yourself sick over something, only to have it turn it to be absolutely nothing worth getting so stressed out about?
