"Usually, the patient knows best"
Feb. 13th, 2012 10:20 amAs I suspected, unless the cute ultrasound guy was lying, all is fine - no sign of nuthin' and I didn't ask, he volunteered. It took less than 20 minutes. Including the 5 he had me do on the treadmill. Blood pressure before and blood pressure after. "Passed with flying colors" is what he said.
He asked about why I was there and I explained the muscle cramps and the medication that I thought was causing them and that the doctors thought I was wrong and he said "Usually, the patient knows best".
So... onward and upward. I have to go back to the clinic this week or next to get another inhaler but no more doctors or tests scheduled until March 9! That's nearly 4 whole weeks! Nice. Very nice.
This week I have neither house cleaner or chef days - the week is all mine. Also nice. And, whew.
Oh and I forgot to suck on my rescue inhaler before I left for the click and only realized it when I did two flights of stairs and was not out of breath - at all! Score.
