Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi Everyone, First, thank you very much for all of the well wishes. It meant a lot to me. The tests went without a hitch. Although I am not claustrophobic, the CT scanner was an " open " one which is nice. They injected me with iodine contrast dye (what a lovely taste) and scanned me for about 5 minutes. The ECG was pretty interesting. I never saw my heart working before. On a good note, the technician said she couldn't see any fluid but of course I still need to wait for the cardiologist's report. Both ladies that administered the tests were great and very compassionate. I love Lake Forest Hospital. Now, I wait. Even though I haven't slept much, I feel good. I think the steroids are doing the trick although I am glad I am cutting down the dosage. Just so you know it doesn't only happen to ladies, I have put on about 2 1/2 pounds since I started the prednisone. Have a great day. Hugs, Al in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
