Report Card
Last week…
- I had an appointment with my heart doctor to catch him up on my cancer journey. I mentioned I might be going in for a hysterectomy soon, and he wants me to get a stress test before I do that. I don’t know whether I want to do that. He said my blood pressure and cholesterol are looking fine (I’m on meds for both). I’ll be meeting with my oncologist and the surgeon before I have that stress test, so I’ll feel them out about whether they think that’s necessary. I don’t like the idea of a chemical stress test, even though he says it’s pretty routine.
- I continued work on one author’s edits.
- If that looks like a pretty unproductive week, you’d be right, although I have been puttering around my space putting things away and doing some early spring cleaning. I have to get my writer-butt in gear!
This next week…
- This week, I’ll be diving back into finishing up Ignition! Okay, so I said this last week and the week before, but I mean it this time. Seriously, I want to finish it and put it up for pre-order.
- I have two authors’ edits to work on this week.
- So far as personal goals—I’m still not ready to diet. I’m still in celebrate mode. I also can’t find the drive to up my activity. I need some inspiration.

Before I have any surgery even a colonoscopy test I always have to have a nuclear stress test with my heart doctor for my cardiac clearance. It’s a pain because it’s another medical appointment but I haven’t been able to find a provider that will do it without being cleared by my heart doctor even though the blood pressure is controlled by medication. The POTS doesn’t have anything specific that control it, although some medications might help some. You and yours are still in our thoughts and prayers!

I had to do a stress test last month, I could not do it so they did a chemical stress test. It wasn’t bad at all. With the hysterectomy, they made me stay in the hospital for 3 days. That was not fun. You will do just fine with both.
