Echocardiogram (aka Ultrasound of the Heart)


Just had an echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart. It is supposed to be able to tell if your heart muscles are healthy enough to go through chemotherapy.  They look to see if there are any leaks between the valves and the amount of "squeezing" the heart muscles do.  And something called "strain."

The tech doing the test was young and really cute.  The room was barely lit.  My heart was pumping (lol). I sent him telepathic messages to drop the ultrasound wand and grab my boob since he was right there anyway. 

Guess it's true - men really aren't mind readers.  LOL!!!

  2. Anyone who knows you is certain that you have a strong heart.

    Nope, men are mind readers (not even close).

    I know everything is going to turn out "Okie-Dokie" for you.
