Okay part of the testing is scheduled,
 

Okay part of the testing is scheduled for 8:15 Wednesday the 30th of July.
I have luckily found a friend that I've helped more than once that can
take me and help me this time. And it could be 3 to 4 hours for
this thing just at the hospital.

I then go home and wear a pack and have the tube in my nose.

I have that for 96 hours at least thats what they are saying.
Originally my doctor was saying a week. So I'm a little confused but
I'm guessing the second half of this test is what takes 48 hours and
I haven't got it scheduled yet.

The mobility test which I have no clues on yet. Its something the
nurse in the doctor's office hasn't heard of.

And the cardiologist doing the catherizations, that I emailed was
so nice. She said, to just call when I'm ready to schedule.

I also found out this is the lady that is in charge of Womens health
for the hospitals. And I like this part. SHe is also somewhat famous
I knew I recognized the name.

Thinking of you Donna :hug:

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts. And prayers that things
went well and are going well. THe test is a long one. And its not
easy for me to keep things going. But I'm learning a lot.

This is a 96 hour test. I have to document all things that are part of
the heartburn, and you know other things that happen to cause problems.
They had to figure out where to put the coughing part.

They also had to figure out how to get it reset for the second 48 hours.
Because I need to go in the morning to pick Derrick up. So its all set.

I'm hoping it goes good.

The esphogasus mobility test is set for 7am on August 12th and I am
not looking forward to it. One of the nurses really explained it. But
I'll go through it. Then I'll have the catherization left to schedule.
