Now She Needs a Stress Test

Posted at 12:10 AM

The results from the portable electrocardiogram monitor are in and the doctor says that nothing significant was observed in the function of my wife’s heart. Go figure. So either the EKG from Friday was a fluke or the arrhythmia he detected then is hiding out in her spleen.

Now she needs a stress test just to be sure. That’s where she goes to the hospital and climbs on a treadmill to run until she breaths hard and a cardiologist dogs her like a personal trainer.

Well, the news could be much worse. I for one am glad that they still can’t find anything wrong.
