Getting back to the 'entails'

The sun was out this afternoon and we enjoyed the view from the cardiac center located on the 5th floor in the IHC building.

Our wait was brief, and then we heard the ultrasound tech call Randy's name.

Randy was already in a moment of  anxiety wondering the outcome of his appointed stress test.

They requested him to remove his shirt so that they could shave his chest and apply the six 'heartbeat' stickers to his body.

Then they gooped up the ultrasound wand and for 15 minutes, scanned his chambers and rhythms.

He was then guided to the treadmill next to the bed, and walked for 10 minutes on the highest incline at 3.5 speed.

Throughout his walk, the screen and printed paper showed random irregularities.

Immediately, and I'm not kidding when I say immediately, he was bounced back to the bed for more scans to show how his heart reacted to the exercise and to the cool down.

I watched as his heart flubbed a few times, which was very concerning for the both of us.

I was especially concerned when I thought I had seen a little peener poking out and I yelled, 

"It's a BOY!!!!"

But then I remembered how children are made,

and that the heart is NOT a womb 

and that  Randy is  NOT a female!

Whew!  That was a scary close call for a minute!

After the technicians made their report, we joined the cardiologist in a room to go over the deets.

They said that his heart is 

VERY STRONG AND IN GOOD SHAPE!!!

They believe that the majority of his problems are stemming from sleep apnea, and that he shouldn't be scared to get back to life and all it entails!

[entails meaning: exercise, laughing, beer, and sex.]

We both were extremely relieved and talked about how our fear of him having a heart attack had taken over all of the "entails".

We decided to start his life of joy again by:

Walking to the truck

Laughing at our crazy life

Drinking a beer at the sports bar

and.......

well..............

I gotta go now.....my strong hearted husband is calling me :)
