You are injected with radioactive substance...so your blood glows when they take the MRI of your heart. They then make you sit till it all mixes up. Then you get on the machine and they take the first set of pictures. Then you sit. Then they put you on a treadmill until you can't go anymore...while taking blood pressure and heart readings. Then once they run you into the ground...you go back on the machine for more pictures. Find out Monday if I have any new areas of blockage and/or any scarring from the last incident. Scarring is likely...just so it doesn't block anything...cause that means bypass. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
