Terry had a nuclear stress today (large camera rotates around her and captures images of blood flow) and something called echo test.
Doctors haven't reviewed test results, so she's in Shands overnight again.
Her spirits were good this afternoon, her head is hurting now cause last morphine shot hasn't yet kicked in.
Bruce, thanks for your clarification this morning. Much appreciated.

Dearest Donna,
Thank you so much for the detailed updates. Give that big-brained darling woman all my love, will you? And tell her join the club, with the echocardiogram. Every almost-sixty person has to do it, and it shows things, so said my doctor, that are not always cause for alarm.
I know you are stressed too, if not to a nuclear degree! Sending you all the calm you need via small-brain waves.
Much love, Alice

again, I do not believe that this is any cause for concern. Completely routine testing (although we can have a discussion of why this saves and extends lives but is one of the reasons why medical care costs in this country continue to escalate). Having said that, I will speak to Terry directly (and as an aside to Donna): Dear "mean little deaf (maybe) queer", with the biggest heart on the earth, Your courage is legendary, but so is your complete lack of respect for the chance of personal bodily harm. In this situation, with this kind of surgery, you need to scale it back and have a little healthy respect for the potential to hurt yourself. be calm, be a little sedate (I realize just how difficult this will be for you to accomplish). It is OK to be a pirate, but, please, please, be a wise old head type of pirate, dispensing ill-tempered advice and mean-spirited cheer..... calmly.... from a chair... after a few advil..... OK?

As a doctor once told me (criticizing my lifestyle choices when I was past 40): "Keep in mind that your body's out of warranty." I took his advice to heart.

Thanks for all of this, Donna. The folks at Heart Hospital put me through these very same exams following my heart valve replacement in '08 and I very much appreciated the caution and concern. Bruce is indeed very comforting with his report.
Love to you and Terry,
Doc
