Well, in an abundance of caution my doctor sent me to the hospital for a series of tests. It appears my blood pressure and heart meds need to be adjusted. But to ensure there are no issues with my heart, I am scheduled for a MIBI Scan. This is a test where a radioactive tracer (Technetium 99) is used to view my heart. This will allow my doctors to know for sure what is happening with my heart.
With luck I can get my meds adjusted and no heart issues will be present and I can continue my adventure. Until then I'm laying in a hospital bed watching tv bored out of my mind.
I will post again when I have more info on my ability to continue my adventure.
Steve... hope all is well. I hope you get back on the trail soon... I LOVE reading this.

I hope you are feeling better, and there is nothing serious going on! I hope to see an update soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Sparky, hope you're feeling better! Please update if/when you can. We've never met, but I have a son on the trail a few days behind you (catching up fast!) If you're out there, "Snausage" can help...And if the docs say 'no go', well, you've already accomplished more than most: you got out there and tried! Chin up! Kim LaBrecque
