OT Stress Test

If you ever had one of these tests you will know that lasting more than 10 minutes is doing pretty good. I walk 30-35 minutes on the treadmill or outside at least 5 days/week at a fairly brisk rate (3.9 mph) and the doctor attributed the health of my heart in part to that activity. Next Friday is a colonoscopy..........oh how I am looking forward to that. ;-( What a temptation to say something... During my last, very rare visits to a doctor several years ago he scheduled me for one of those. I still haven't shown up for it. RCE |

It was easier than getting my teeth cleaned. I went to sleep in the "procedure room" and woke up in the recovery room. The only complaint I had was I felt like someone owed me a dinner and a movie. -- Reggie ************************************************** ************* That's my story and I am sticking to it. ************************************************** ************* |
