Ticker

So yesterday was my testing for the old ticker.
Short story, heart is just fine!
Rest of the body, not so much.

First up, they could not take me, due to my breathing.
So, they put me on a breathing treatment.
Cleared up the lungs!

But, the hospital had an Emergency Room demand for my cardiologist's skills!
So now came the wait for 4 hours!
Poor doctor, he had to be  exhausted!
The nurses whom prepped me amused themselves.
Heather, whom I think like me, busier herself drawing hearts allover my foot!
Very cute.

So, they got me in and set up.
The assistants were hilarious!
We laughed so much!
Poor jokes ruled!

Since they did not knock me out:
I got to see it all
All the scans
All the dialog
And all the bad jokes!

I almost lost it when one of the technicians commented,
"We overshot, but found some ear wax!!"
Everyone had a chuckle!

Net result of 12 hours in the hospital:
Heart is just fine
Prior stents look great

But, I am horribly anemic!
And no one said anything
To anyone  across months of blood tests!

So no one put my anemia up with:
All of the heart failures
All of the times I pass out
The utter lack of energy!         

So, working on the anemia next!
