Bleh...Just BLEH!

So today was my appointment with my primary care doctor about the whole high heart rate thing. He thinks that since my heart rate was elevated for over an hour after the end of my exercise that a stress test would be the best idea. I don't much disagree. The only part that I hate is not being able to work out at the gym until I have the stress test done. He won't sign my medical release form until I get the stress test done. So bleh. When the nurse at his office tried to call the hospital that I work at to schedule the stress test they were asking her tons of questions so she said it would be best if I scheduled the appointment myself. I call to make the appointment and they tell me that I have to have a cardiologist who my primary had referred me to. Which is what she was trying to tell the nurse at my doc's office. Sheesh. Anyways, I got a list of cardiologists that work at my hospital to give to my doctor's office so they could set up a referral. Jill, the girl at the front desk who I see all the time at Shoney's, told me she would take care of it. Have to remember to call for a follow up on that tomorrow. The longer I have to wait the more time I spend away from the gym. According to my doctor I've lost 11 pounds on his scale since October. Woo! He was thrilled. My Potassium is doing fine and my protein level in my urine is down almost half from my last 24 hr urine. Wooo! Now just a waiting game.
