Happy Heart

I had my appointment with the cardiologist yesterday and I am happy to say that I have a healthy heart. It was a LONG appointment - I had to wait for almost an hour - I was worried my blood pressure was going to be through the roof - I am not a patient waiter at doctors offices. (Just one of my pet peeves that they can't do a better job scheduling). But hooray - blood pressure was 102/70. Then I had an EKG, and an ultrasound of my heart. I'd never had an EKG before - weird test. They said it was normal. The ultrasound was COOL! It was funny because usually in ultrasounds I get to hear Aurora's heart - but this time it was mine. Hers beats a lot faster :) I got to see the chambers and it pumping - very bizarre. Really I think it looks like it could break any minute, but I'm not a doctor :) and they assured me that it wouldn't.

So it was a 2 hour appointment - yuck - but everything checks out and the doctor said I'm fine. The only thing he didn't test was to see if I could possibly have a clogged artery going to my heart, but he said that I didn't have any risk factors so he wasn't worried about that. He said he didn't want to do the test because he wasn't about to put an almost 8 month pregnant lady on a treadmill. I was up for the challenge, but I'm OK that I didn't have to :) He didn't see any reason why I would be having chest pains - so it seemed like my heartburn theory made the most sense.

So I am done with doctor appointments for the week - hooray! The last few weeks it has been one thing after another. My next appointment is my regularly scheduled every-2-weeks appointment next Friday. And no extras are scheduled in the future! Just down to my every 2-weeks and then soon to weekly appointments. I don't think I could take any more doctors - I feel like I spend my life there as it is!
