Stress

[madrobins]

...as in stress test. Couldn't eat after 9 this morning; couldn't have caffeine for 24 hours. Showed up for the 3 o'clock appointment, walked on the treadmill for eight minutes with electrodes all over my upper body, then left and got a hamburger. The cardiologist will review the data and talk to my doctor. Given that no one turned ashen and I was not immediately carted off to the ICU, I suspect the news will be good. Film, as they say, at eleven.

And again: thanks, all you guys who were concerned.
