Oops I did it again and haven't posted in a few days!!! I'll catch us back up hopefully tomorrow - we were out of town for a few days and I didn't schedule anything to post while I was gone.
Quick thing to share today because I had an echocardiogram this morning and I've never had one before, and other than googling for info on what to wear* I didn't even really know what it is so I thought I'd share my experience.
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of your heart. I had to remove everything above the waist and put on a gown open in the front. The tech had me lie on my left side with my left arm under my head; she attached an ekg monitor and then moved the wand thing around my chest gathering details on my hearts structure and functions. It was pretty interesting, painless, and took about 1/2 hour. Also, in case you wondered like I did, I wasn't just laying on the table exposed to the room hahahah, she was very good about keeping me covered (I definitely wondered how that was going to work!).
I didn't have to do anything in advance of the test - no medicine changes, no dietary restrictions.
PS: for the question of what to wear - just wear a top that can be easily removed, you only remove clothes above the waist so bottoms are just whatever is comfortable to lie on the table in - I didn't have to remove my shoes.
Tomorrow I go for a stress test, which I've also never done. I'll let you know if there's anything interesting to share on that.
