Heres were I think we are getting somewhere cuz as my Dr. stated..if everything comes out status quo..then he feels it is RSD in my chest wall... esp. with the pain being present most of the time as I breathe, sometimes it is there even when I don't breathe..and can last for hours making me feel uncomfortable, heavy chested.... oh boy..now theres an admission I haven't said... ALSO he explained I/we as neurologic patients will NOT exhibit the same warning signs of a heart aliment as normal Joe down the street because as due to neurologic issues our signs will be different cuz were neuologically different in responses with our body.. or we may not get warning signs at all ... we could have even a silent heart attack..
The stress test I am having is called a Regadenoson Nuclear Stress Test..it will take ~ 5 hours with iv fluids to stimulate my heart to an active level....no treadmill as I am not able to walk very well due to RSD..my worst RSD affected area is my rt. leg and use a decrative cane to get around.....so I'll have to lie down for this and be a good patient.. They did say they will give me a small window of time in order to have some food due to my fasting for the exam..all in all... a restful day..
Pray for me on Friday, my friend..as Iam ok doing this as an evaluation but if they find something, blockage or such.. or even say the RSD has migrated into my chest..Well..it will be okay.. but as you know a little more to digest on our plate..just as we feel each time our pain shows up somewhere else in our bodies... RSD so lovely...
I know..I'll study and real hard to do well and pass this darn stress test..Ya think that will do it????
No matter what..I still love life for what it is and what I have..today and after Friday..Call me crazy but..I still open my arms up for each new day brings as I can handle it..with a smile!!
love, KS  |
Hey KS,
No matter what the out come on Friday, God is still in charge of it all. You sound soo much like myself when it comes to welcoming in each day. It's the little things that make us strong. As I mention once before that while taking a walk around the lake...usually I could handle a strong power walk around the complete lake which is about two miles. But now I'm lucky to get half way at a normal pace without pain. But I am bless to be able to do it at all. I'm a writer, and with both arms having cubital tunnel, my dreams of being a famous writer, I use to think was over, but like you use your cane, I will be looking into a program for my computer that is voice activated.
As far as not being able to do the treadmill thing...I've been there before back in 2004. Tore my tendon in my right ankle, and was having really bad chest pains, shortness of breath etc,. Had to lay on the table while given the injection for nuclear stress test. So I know what you mean. SK, you are being somebodies miricale today, for that be grateful for that's what "He" wants us to be. For that you will be blessed, and he does hear your cry, and pity your goans. Hasten to his throne to bless him, and I will hasten to his throne to stand up for you, and ask for his mercy, grace and lift you up. For you are somebodies blessing and for that you should be blessed.
Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help. My friend is in need of supporting hands to be kept on the Just path. KS heart is troubled so I come to you on KS behalf striving to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show KS and all those doctors the right way to a just and right resolution.
KS, do not look forward to what may happen
tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares
for you today will take care of you tomorrow and
every day. Either He will shield you from suffering,
or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and
imaginations, and say continually: "The Lord is my
strength and my shield. Your heart has trusted in Him
and you am helped. He is not only with you but in you,
and you in Him."
Thank you for hearing my prayer and for staying by KS side. Amen!
Okay, you've got me in tears of joy KS so I've got to get down off my
prayer box. I'm sure the community here will keep you in their prayers as well. My prayer is for everyone that is going though something...I have my arms wraped around all of you
