Well on another train of obscure thoughts.....Doug......
My cardiologist's visit went.....

.......different than I expected.
I'm now 'wired' for 2 weeks round the clock, and then a Nuclear Stress Test, and an EKG. A right pleasant Chap, real down to Earth....even gave me his business card 1st thing with instructions to call him day/night ANYTIME i have chest pain.....includes his cell number.
He fears I may not have been taking this cardiac thing as serious as I perhaps should have the past nearly 20 years since my stents were installed.......in his words, he's up dating the drugs I have been on....been improvements over the last couple decades. Do ALL Drs know this?

And you're the first to point this out. Any way......he/THEY will be looking closely at the condition of my arteries and see if some 'plumping' is required.
He also STRESSED my need to bring life/work down a handful of notches, or ELSE! Let's put this into context......2 DAYS prior to the tests I ain't to drink coffee. Once I/We ascertained he wasn't joshing, and he reassure us this was serious......ain't sure if I'm technically allowed to POST on here those 2 days...I have a 2-CUP minimum imposed on me.
