Today, I went to have Echocardiogram done. I’m home safe now.
I enjoyed the easy and nice drive to Logan Heart Centre.
I had organised Go Via account for the now electrically charging toll. I’m not happy about the toll all electrically charged because of added fees on top of the actual toll. But, I’m not going into detail here. ...

First, I have to say that, as I mentioned last week, I have zero confidence in the doctor, who, to protect her identity and me from a libel writ, as she is staggeringly useless, I shall call Dr. Dingbat.** When we discussed my medication last week, I mentioned that the oedema in my legs had improved since starting the Candesartan, and that I pu ...

That’s what’s up for tomorrow morning. I head up to Columbia first thing and I expect to be there for hours.
It’s a big HEART day tomorrow. We’ll find out lots of information. I am nervous. I hate the stress test. They plug my nose (because I get a pulmonary stress test) and I have to breathe through a tube while I do a cardio wo ...

Clap Your Hands!!
I took this picture of Garrett clapping recently at a Wiggles Show. I was reminded it of it today while we were bowling...in our living room, nonetheless. I hit only 4 of the pins on my first try. But, Garrett turned and looked at me with a look of complete amazement at my "accomplishment" and started clapping. So sw ...

This case was posted on the www.hqmeded.com ultrasound site, of which this ECG blog is a part. However, only the first ECG was shown, and it was recorded before the patient became ill.

I remember it just like it was yesterday. We had been trying to get pregnant for a while, I had an ectopic pregnancy just a few months earlier, and I knew that there was someone special just waiting to come.
I was managing a local video store, and I had been feeling so exhausted. On my days off I would sleep until noon, and ...

I hope I'm not getting my hopes up prematurely, but I believe that I've seen it once again: Dramatic reversal of aortic valve disease.
