Too funny! I can just imagine what you looked like. :laugh: Glad your test came out good!!

I did my stress test!!! and my Echo Cardigram. Fun day...
I got the when, what, and where mail for my Stress Test....It took me 30 minutes to find my Adidas.So I'm figuring that should count for something towards the test itself....I was stressed...I did find my baggy shorts that the letter said was required...I added leg warmers a halo headband and 2 sweat bracelets to the ensemble....I did Olivia Newton John proud...
So it's my turn and I go into this room to begin the test...Where's the treadmill?? So I say where's the Treadmill??
They said just lie down on this bed..I said no...I'm here for a stress test...(I was worried because you always hear of some hospital taking a leg or eye from someone that wasn't scheduled for amputation)..Usually they were there for a Stress Test..So I'm like..Am I in the right place?They were all laughing kinda ghoulish like...I'm scared....I finally laid down but with trepidation and he asked me what kind of coffee I liked. I'm like I drink decaf...He asked me if I wanted cream or sugar...I'm like.I'm here for a stress test.They said they knew that...The coffee was being used as an antidote...I'm like I'm on punked right? Where's the camera and Aston Kutcher?They again laughed fiendishly...
I'm not doing nothing where a cup of coffee is the Antidote...I'm just not. Unless they were testing danish flavors...but I digress..Turns out ...They don't use treadmills anymore...You lie on the bed,they give you an IV.They put something into the iv and all of your blood vessels and arteries blow up giant size. You immediately get a head rush and a burning stomach sensation for about 4 minutes while they film the inside of your body...What?? Yes!! After four minutes they sit you up give you a cup of coffee and the sensation vanishes...What?? Yes....Completely back to normal whatever that is..I didn't brake a sweat...But I looked really silly in my "Getting Physical" leg warmers. I think they do that as a joke... How weird sciency that is! He said I did good..Ta Da!! I am radio active though It should dissipate in 3 to 4 days...Right now Mr.??? and I are sitting with the lights out to see if I actually glow in the dark...

    Wow. I thought I was the only hold out in the country... I hate iPhones.

    They are not for me.

    Im not going to say anything else about it.... Too many nerds get upset (seen it in person) when people start bashing the iPhone.

    This IS true and documented. I have a BIG problem with it. Free country you choose what you want, if you don't like the OTHER one then don't use it. If you ARE a lover, buy it, be happy, move on.

    The only thing I don't like about my android is that I can shut the wi-fi off & the mobile networking off & the next time I look at it, they are back on. I only want them on when I'm traveling. I don't need them on in the house!

    That is strange, on my moto it doesn't do that. I'm on air until I get home, it switches to WiFi until I leave. If I turn either off, they stay off until I reboot. I wonder if you have a sneaky app turning it back on.

    Afternoon Posse!

    I can't keep up with all these posts anymore. Haha. Also, turned out my issue with not being able to see the forums was because I had the skin set to "vB4 main - Tabbed".

    I need to order some more juice soon.

    EXCELLENT IDEA !!!!!

    Oh, and has anyone heard anything about the Zen's that were slated to ship in August. For some reason I can't find the website now.

    I grew tired of going to the House of Hybrids, only to not see any updates.

    Hello, is there anybody out there?

    OUTSTANDING !!!!!

    I love you Stretchy.

    *jumps mostly ahead* too tired to catch up.

    Stress tests. They tend to favor using drugs like vasodilators now because less chance of ppl getting injured when their heart acts up while on a treadmill. A lot of places will still let you use a treadmill if you insist.

    I think if I ever let them do one on me I would take treadmill. The drugs idea freaks me out.

    Its a word that that annoying chef yells when he does something ordinary to make it sound like he really did something special.
    BAM is also my name! :) Bam Bam, Bammers, Bamrz, Bam, or just BB if you can't handle too much! :lol: I'll answer to any of them! :)

    I think a stress test would freak me out enough without adding drugs! I'm glad I haven't had to go through that.

    Its one of the options my Dr was considering for my PVCs but after a couple ekgs and wearing a holter monitor decided as long as I could live with em we would let em be. Otherwise it was drug time and I'm not too keen on pills.

    New jug of house today woot!

    It freaked me out too.Especially the part where they have to tell you the drug they are using can sometimes cause bleeding behind the eyeballs rupture of all major blood vessels,adenoid cancer if you still have adenoids,oily stool and in some instances wetting your pants post test..When you then look at them like let me out of here everyone in the room starts laughing.What? Oily stool?Who needs that and what is it?Then when they say a cup of coffee will bring you back to normal would you like cream and sugar in it? It's so unbelievable you have to have the test just to see.....
