Good Morning everyone Hope you have a good day, and then a good weekend.

I'm going to get a stress test done today, should be a fun time. ::facepalm:: :D



Good morning bud - best of luck. They going to put you on a treadmill?
Yes First they inject an Iv with a dye (nuclear) and then it is walking or running on a treadmill until my heart rate is up
to about 125-130 beats per minute. Then they have you get off the treadmill and look at your heart via a ultrasound
and look at the flow of the dye and see if your getting the right blood flow as well. They I eat something and do it all over again. It will take about 3-4 hours also.

I have high blood pressure and so does my mother, My grandfather died of a heart attack at age 63 I'm 46 so
it is a family thing, But my mother is 70 and only has high blood pressure. I hope this is only a formality though.

Good luck with it Pine. Hopefully you get some good news when it's done. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers bud.

That sounds like a grand time. :? I think I'd rather squeeze my fingers in a monkey wrench than go through that.

Wouldnt advise that bud. You are on your way to a 20 win season and the knuckler would suffer...

:lol: It really is not that bad it can be boring as heck since I have to wait in between the times I do the treadmill though.

I done this before and it is hard walking a t a fast pace trying to get your heart rate up though.

Pine- How's your cholesterol? Mine a little high but it might be high due to family history.
I had that tested on Monday and they will tell me today when I see the cardiologist. They also checked the thyroid as well
since my mother and sister have had issues with theirs. But that was negative for me.

I have lowered my sodium intake and have not drink a beer in over a week, and I have eaten more friuts and veggies
I need to eat a more balanced diet, that is for sure.

Dave (wide)- I have to agree with Dan on this one. You go and squeeze your finger in that wrench and the next thing you know, you end up with a 13-14 win season instead of a potential 20 win season. Think about it.

Just out of curiosity, do a lot of my fellow coffaholics hate UD as well? I am a huge fan of UD and it gets really old, really fast reading all of the bashing. Seriously, if it were not for Chrome, more people on this board would probably bash Topps over UD. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought on the matter.

Pine- Not drinking beer/alcohol is unhealthy. It's one of the 5 food groups.

I remember when I was a kid that my mom and the school kept trying to tell me that fruits, veggies, grains, milk, and meat were food groups. Then I went to college. In college I learned that the 5 food groups are: Beer/alcohol, McDonald's, Herbs ( :lol: ;) ), Kool-Aid, and Cheetos.

Now since college, I have learned that two of those (McDonald's and beer/alcohol) were 100% correct. Now the other three are chicken wings, shrimp, and bacon.

*EDIT* How could I forget the 6th food group? Potatoes.
