How did the EGD go....? DS> It went well. The biopsies were normal, and the angina is NOT caused DS> by cardiac or reflux issues...they have no idea what's causing the DS> chest pain. It could be tension, stress, or something else. I see the DS> PCP for a full physical exam and complete blood work (including a check DS> for type 2 diabetes) on March 2...then have a complete eye exam 2 days DS> later. The tension and stress are quite plausible, given what you've been through lately.... Good that your PCP will give you a full workup... even if nothing is actually wrong to be fixed, that can be a relief, too... DS> Before that, I have a toenail trim (if I end up being type 2 DS> diabetic, he'll have more reason to see me besides just trimming the DS> toenails), and another low testosterone implant in the buttocks cheeks DS> (they alternate them 4 months apart). But, left untreated, Low-T can DS> lead to, or aggravate cardiovascular and diabetes issues. I don't want DS> to give any condition any "assistance" in developing. Wise to stay on top of things as much as one can... ;) NB>> That should make things easier for you there... :) DS> In Slidell, the ham radio operator lives a mile from the train DS> station. In Shreveport, the ham radio operator (who lives with his DS> wife in Denham Springs) also have family in Shreveport...so, he was DS> heading up there, anyway. Convenient, and works out well... :) DS> I booked the train/bus trip early this morning, with Sleeping Car, DS> so that gets me my privacy, plus breakfast on the way down, and dinner DS> on the way back. Total cost with insurance was $310. Not bad...I DS> would've spent more than that on gas, plus wear and tear on the car, DS> especially with bad traffic conditions. Not bad at all.. and you'll have a relaxing trip there and back instead of having to drive it all... :) NB>> Yup... same here... But sometimes one can luck out and not have much NB>> construction on the drive.... or maybe just minor bits... :) DS> Or with the sign END ROAD WORK -- even the orange barrels are DS> protesting. Yes that was an amusing take on the situation... ;) DS>> After one of her heart surgeries, Janice woke up, and there was a DS>> bowl of chicken broth in front of her. She growled "What is this DS>> garbage?? I want a steak!!" . NB>> How long before they let her have one...? ;) Had you anticipated NB>> her wishes and smuggled one in with you...? DS> This was before we became an item. I have no idea if she ever was DS> granted her request. Ah, so you heard the story afterwards... ;) DS> But, in 2 of the local hospitals, you can order off a menu...but it DS> is tailored to your diet (low sodium, liquid, etc.). We have that here, too... And there is at least some attention paid to making things nutritious and tasting good.... :) ttyl neb .... Computers can do everything but think.
