Well, I have been wearing the monitor for a few days now and am already tired of it. All in all it really isn't that bad and the technology is really awesome. If I feel anything ( rapid heart beat, chest pain, etc) I just log it on this little monitor that looks like a cell phone. All the data goes to a company called Cardionet where I am being monitored 24/7. Then the doctor gets a report each morning including anything I recorded. It is pretty cool and they have not sent me any text messages saying there are problems so..... so far so good, but still have 19 days to go.
I did do a 10 mile run with it yesterday, and it really did not bother me too much. I am feeling much better now that it has been several weeks since my last treatments. I am looking forward to the results and hopefully I can continue on with my training and not worry.
That's about it for now~ Elayne
Wouldn't doctors of 50 or 100 years ago be amazed? Hang in there. Art
ReplyDeleteHi there. I just finished reading your last two blogs (I'm a bit behind). I imagine the cardiologist wants to see if you are going into abnormal rhythms, either too fast or too slow which could cause the symptoms. I can't imagine wearing the monitor for 3 weeks. I found 24 hours hard enough. Though, they are smaller now.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine your disappointment of having more barriers to overcome. You seem to get over one and there are more. You do have a lot of physical and spiritual strength which certainly do help.
You are always in our prayers. One moment at a time.
Love you and the family.
