cardiologist today | Arthritis Information

so today at 1:30 i have a cardiologist appointment

so we gotta leave in about 2 hours

cuz it takes 45 minutes to get to the hospital

i wonder what we're gonna do there

cuz they didnt even say exactly why i had to go

all they sayd was it was a follow up appoinment from when i was in the hospital back in April.

i hope it doesnt take too long

im gonna be really hungry by the time we leave there

hopefully everythin will go well

like it did at the lung doctor, that went good

can you snack on some carrots while riding in the car? they aren't messy.. there's no waste, no trash.. and they're sweet and good for you!!

good luck!!

well i guess not

we dont have any carrots here

anyways i gonna eat lunch right now, actually

then we're leaving right after that

and dont ask about celery sticks

we dont have those either

oh and thnx, i hope everything is ok

cuz i notice i have trouble doing stuff

like carrying the laundry upstairs from the dryer

makes my heart beat super fast

i wonder what theyre gonna do

I wouldn't worry about it Star. Just make sure you tell the doctor everything, and ask all the questions you have. Speak up and let him know what's bothering you. Unfortunately, like the rest of us, you're going to be dealing with doctors and appointments for the rest of your life, so you'll learn to take charge of your life and your health. The more questions you ask, the more you will understand about your body and how to take good care of it, with the conditions you have. If you're scared, tell him you're scared. There's no one who knows what's going on in your body better than you!

Let us know how it goes when you get back!

ok Hillhoney i'll be sure to say what happened

omg im leavin in less than a half hour

good thing i got my ipod touch to keep me entertained while we drive there

atleast i wont be bored

and i bet everythin will be fine

i hope...

ok so we went to the doctor

and came home 5 hours later...

well i had a test first, to see what my heart was like

the results were normal, so thats good

then the nice lady doctor checked my heart with the stethescope and sayd i was ok

she asked what exercise i did, and we sayd nothing

so she sayd to go learn how to swim and to do that

and to ride the stationary bike we have at home

and to go walking and stuff

she sayd since my heart is ok, i can do basically anything unless the rhuematologist doctor says no

and i need to go have a stress test, using a stationary bike thing, unless my rhuemy says it'll be bad for my joints and stuff

also i gotta go back to the cardiologist in 6 months, on january 12th

so i did pretty good there and im basicallly ok

Glad everything checked out well! Glad to hear that Star. Exercise is good for all of us, but sometimes we have to push ourselves to do it and then we feel so much better afterwards.
Oh, and get some carrots and celery and fruit. It's so good for us.
Glad to hear the cardiology visit went well!yeah i think when i use the stationary bike i'll listen to my ipod

it might actually be fun

lol

Great news Star! I'm very relieved and happy for you!

You can make some new exercise videos now - that would be really awesome!

ooh yeah

i havent made youtube videos lately

doing exercise videos would be a cool idea

since i ran out of ideas

that would be awesome lol

then everyone can watch me get thin again

yay lol

Glad things went well. Videos might make exercising more fun for you. Maybe it would encourage others to exercise also. Sounds like a good idea. Have fun.
