Looks Can Be Deceiving

It was another beautiful day in the Coastal Bend.  Our day started very early since my stress test was scheduled for 8:15AM and we had a 40 minute drive.  The sunrise was wonderful.

There were two tests scheduled today.  The first was the Nuclear Stress Test and the second was the 2-D Echocardiogram.  When I checked in, the receptionist proceeded to tell me that insurance companies have recently started denying payments when there are multiple tests scheduled on the same day.  Really?  What's up with that?!  If you need the tests, why does it matter when you have them?  So, since I had some down time, I called to check on this.  We'll see how that all goes.

Ok, all pumped up with nuclear radiation and ready to get on the treadmill.  This is monitored by the doctor.  My cardiologist was off today, so one of the others in the group came to monitor.  A little way through the test, he asks me "What is such a healthy, in shape woman doing here?"  <Sigh>  I explained.  Maybe I should have also told him about the fractures (rib, vertebrae, etc.).  Feeling a little of the test this evening in those areas.

After all the testing, we went to the Sirloin Stockade for a great lunch.  We picked the girls up from their daycare at Brunos.  Then, we took the long road home and headed to Port Aransas to check out all the spring breakers.  Drove along the beach and enjoyed all the people watching.

Back on the home front just in time for the Buckeyes game.  Great win over Nebraska.  Let's Go Bucks!

Looking forward to a great weekend.
