I just returned from getting my first of two Heart Muga's. It a very interesting test to see if my heart is strong enough to take the chemo five days in a row for four treatments.
The first thing she does is tell me she is going to draw my blood and then I have to go sit in the lobby for 30 minutes while it ages. then I have to come back in and have x-rays and a electrocardiogram for about 15 minutes.
As she is putting into this little, and I talking little, enclosed x-ray machine, she tells me to watch my left arm. As I try to move it she pressed a button and the damn thing closed on my elbow crushing it right now. I scream and she panics and presses the tighter button not the release button. I'm laying there thinking, this wasn't supposed to hurt. The x-ray and electrocardiogram didn't hurt, but I'm tell you that damn pinch did.
I asked her how things looked, so she showed me my heart beating and I was sure relieved to know that. I would really be pissed if my heart wasn't working.
I'll let you know Friday how it was, and if I'm able to have chemo.
That's it for now.
