So, couple of weeks ago laying in bed, I am experiencing pressure in my chest and my left arm is throbbing a bit, the first thing I think of is heart attack, I pray for while and the symptoms subside and I fall asleep.
Next day I tell my wife the story, she being a nurse immediately starts setting up appointments, first the echo stress, chest x-ray and a follow-up with a cardiologist.
So chest x-ray - Clear
Echo Stress Test - Normal
EKG - Normal
Cardiologist follow-up (wife in room with me), not good. Cardiologist states you have angina, OK, I think, manageable diet and more exercise, Cardiologist then states that even though test results show nothing there is still a chance that there is something going on based on the single event laying in bed at rest.
He wants to do a cardio-cath, but this can't be scheduled until the 5/21, the weather this weekend is predicted to be the nicest weekend so far this year, its been a real crappy spring.
Wife (nurse) doesn't want me to remove the cover off the boat until after the procedure, which means I can't wax the hull or deck until after.
I really want to get the boat in the water, but the nurse wants to leave it as is, jncase there is further complications (the cover is a beast to put on), which means that for all intensive purposes the boat would not go in until sometime in June if all checks out OK.
So here I sit, looking at a beautiful day to start opening the boat and getting ready for the water but if I do I am in conflict with my life partner. I can see her point, I guess I just don't want to accept it.
