No Bloomsday for You!

I went to the Cardiologist yesterday and discussed my problem. Initially, he thought my medication might be working too well. I am on a cocktail of various meds, among them is a beta blocker. It's job is to keep my blood pressure low. He thought it might be working too well and not allowing my blood pressure to rise when the demands on my body call for it. They put me on a treadmill and my blood pressure seemed to rise and fall as it should.

So now I have to go return in about a week for a Nuclear Stress Test. This is a much more involved process that should give them a good idea of what is going on in my veins and arteries.

In the meantime, he said it probably isn't a good idea for me to participate in Bloomsday. I know I said I kind of hoped he would say that, but now that he has said it, I'm bummed. If I can't participate, I want it to be because I decide not to.

I'm a baby that way!
