Except. · 4:48pm Sep 11th, 2018
I'm learning to hate the word "except" right now.
The cardiologist says my tests came back normal- no clots, no heart swelling, full clear flow, strong pumping, nothing abnormal... except.
Specifically, except for a small spot at the very bottom of my heart, which might have a partial blockage of an artery... or not. The stress test was inconclusive on that point due to my pot belly possibly pressing up against the heart while lying down creating a false-positive.
So now I get to wait to find out how much the copay is for a CT scan, and then figure out when I can slip it into my schedule...
Except for that, I'd be moving on from cardiology and towards a gastrologist to check out what's looking more like acid reflux. And after that, just maybe, I could get a follow-up on my arm, which has been giving me pain since February.
Except.
Ugh. Here's hoping this won't be too much more obnoxious.
That's rough. Health care in this country is so screwed up. I hope it turns out to be just very expensive false positives.
Hey man, I don't know if you're comfortable with this, but I had asked my Circle (Pagan Circle) for healing for you. I told them of your story and collectively decided to send some healing your way.
Anyways, get better dude so you can keep on writing.
Well, id be most worried about the acid reflux. That is something that causes discomfort now.
Besides that, the acid reflux, a heart condition and a pot belly are all helped by a healthy diet. So id make that the first priority. I would not be surprised if money spend on healthy food, or a even a dietician, has a higher return on investment compared to that scan.
Except, don't take advice from people on the internet. Seriously, there is some bad advice out there.

I’ve been praying as well.
Well, at least it sounds like mostly good news. Seconding the hope for it turning out to be non-threatening.
You know what this means. Regular exercise (other than lugging boxes of stuff around). Less beer. Eating (shudder) healthy. And...grapefruit.

Well, except if he is on medication, because what seems like 90% of medication out there seems to warn against eating Grapefruit with said medication.

I well Kris I hope it's nothing serious. Good vibes heading your way Brony. /)
Well, could be a lot worse, at least. Good luck going ahead.
