The Buzz Cut

I had the nuke stress test today and I think I passed. Everyone involved today seems to think everything looked good, but the cardiologist needs to look at the pictures and give final approval. I'm very disappointed I didn't hear from him today.

There wasn’t much to the test. An IV with a radioactive drug, then pictures with a machine that was like half of a CAT scan machine that only looked at my chest; an EKG, then on the treadmill and more of the radioactive drug and then more pictures. At least I’ll know what kind of shape my heart is in and whether or not I have any blockages.

I’ve had more test in the last few weeks that I ever have had, quite a few EKGs and I don’t know how many times my blood pressure has been taken.

I also found out I can’t shower for a few days after surgery, so I got a buzz cut, the first in a long, long time. I used to keep my hair very short and I shaved my head for awhile, but it’s been years since I’ve had it this short. It does grow back though. I don’t mind the sponge bath so much, but, wouldn’t have been able to deal with 3-4 days of a dirty head. So, buzz cut it was.
